The short version

Barry Brown is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2011 and Mar 2015: Atomera Inc (Los Gatos, CA — other technology — 2011–2015; $14.8M reported sold to 177 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 Jeremy D.M. Ingall (4 shared filings), John D.T. Gerber (4 shared filings), Karim Sahyoun (4 shared filings), Robert J. Mears (4 shared filings), Rolf Stadheim (4 shared filings) and 6 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 records came back. 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.

We compared 4 public filings for Barry Brown and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 153 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

6 differences found between the filings for Barry Brown — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 30, 2014 – Oct 30, 2014

Form D filed 153 days after the first sale — Atomera Inc

The filing says the first sale was May 30, 2014. The Form D was filed Oct 30, 2014 — 153 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 138 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jun 15, 2011 – Aug 12, 2011

Form D filed 58 days after the first sale — Atomera Inc

The filing says the first sale was Jun 15, 2011. The Form D was filed Aug 12, 2011 — 58 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 43 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · May 30, 2014 – Oct 30, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Atomera Inc (latest filing Oct 30, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 30, 2014 (first sale May 30, 2014). It reports $6,102,666 sold of $10,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Aug 12, 2011 – Dec 21, 2011

Offering amount changed between filings — Atomera Inc

The Aug 12, 2011 filing says $5,617,632 offered; the Dec 21, 2011 Form D/A says $7,030,758.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Jun 8, 2017

Same name, different state: "Barry Brown" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "Barry Brown" with address state TX, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by First Bank Lubbock Bancshares Inc (Jun 8, 2017). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Aug 12, 2011 to Mar 25, 2015; the other has one filing dated Jun 8, 2017.

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 · Oct 30, 2014 – Mar 25, 2015

Address moved from Newton, MA to Wellesley, MA — Atomera Inc

The people listed on the Oct 30, 2014 filing give Newton, MA; on the Mar 25, 2015 filing they give Wellesley, MA.

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
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.

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).
