The short version

Babur Ozden is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2013 and Nov 2020: Maana, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA — other technology — 2013–2020; $33.2M reported sold to 12 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 Stuart Frost (6 shared filings), John Vigouroux (5 shared filings), Anthony Howcroft (3 shared filings), Qing Gao (3 shared filings), Andrew Fligel (2 shared filings) and 8 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 1 record came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.

1. Lawsuits

Role of Jack Ozden: Plaintiff · Outcome: Pending — no termination date on the docket (bulk snapshot 2026-09-30) Docket on CourtListener ↗

same rare surname (2 people in Form D filings, 2 federal dockets); different first name (jack); court in the person's filing state (CA)

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts; live RECAP re-check pending. State courts: not yet searched. PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:27 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

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).
