The short version

Ari Kaplan is listed as a director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2010 and Oct 2011: ANTS SOFTWARE INC (Alpharetta, GA — computers — 2010–2011; $20.2M reported sold to 67 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Craig Campbell (7 shared filings), Joseph Kozak (7 shared filings), Robert Jett (7 shared filings), Robert Kite (7 shared filings), Francis Ruotolo (5 shared filings) and 3 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ari. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 7 public filings for Ari Kaplan and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

8 differences found between the filings for Ari Kaplan — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 19, 2009 – Jul 20, 2011

4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 157 days after the first sale — ANTS SOFTWARE INC · Form D filed 241 days after the first sale — ANTS SOFTWARE INC · Form D filed 27 days after the first sale — ANTS SOFTWARE INC · Form D filed 60 days after the first sale — ANTS SOFTWARE INC

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Note · Mar 22, 2010 – Jul 28, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ANTS SOFTWARE INC (latest filing Jul 28, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 28, 2010 (first sale Mar 22, 2010). It reports $4,000,000 sold of $30,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Note · Apr 5, 2023

Same name, different state: "Ari Kaplan" (CO) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or GA. A separate record, "Ari Kaplan" with address state CO, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Mamenta, Inc. (Apr 5, 2023). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 15, 2010 to Jul 28, 2010; the other has one filing dated Apr 5, 2023.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Jul 28, 2010 – Jul 20, 2011

Address moved from San Francisco, CA to Alpharetta, GA — ANTS SOFTWARE INC

The people listed on the Jul 28, 2010 filing give San Francisco, CA; on the Jul 20, 2011 filing they give Alpharetta, GA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Jan 15, 2010 – Oct 13, 2011

Ari Kaplan is listed with 2 different address states: CA, GA

CA on 4 filings (Jan 15, 2010 to Jul 28, 2010); GA on 3 filings (Jul 20, 2011 to Oct 13, 2011).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

Sources
Note · Jan 15, 2010 – Jul 20, 2011

Reported revenue range changed between filings — ANTS SOFTWARE INC

"$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (Jan 15, 2010); then "$1 - $1,000,000" (Jul 20, 2011).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

1 of 6 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $320,000; 0 report finder's fees; 3 report proceeds to related persons totalling $1,168,998. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
