The short version

Ben Kortlang is listed as a director on 17 SEC Form D filings by 7 issuers between Apr 2009 and Dec 2022. Largest by amount reported sold: Luminar Technologies, Inc. (Orlando, FL — industry reported as "Other" — 2019–2020; $170M reported sold to 84 investors), SILVER SPRING NETWORKS INC (Redwood City, CA — other technology — 2009–2012; $105M reported sold to 43 investors), Amonix Inc (Torrance, CA — manufacturing — 2009–2010; $104.4M reported sold to 24 investors), Enphase Energy, Inc.

(San Francisco, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2011; $37M reported sold to 10 investors) and 2 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 7 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 13 years. Across those companies the filings report $488.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brian Robertson (5 shared filings), Corbin McNeill, Jr. (5 shared filings), Scott Lang (5 shared filings), Thomas Kuhn (5 shared filings), Warren Weiss (5 shared filings) and 60 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Fairtide Tax (6 issuers, $513.7M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Fairtide Tax has 6 companies on file and $513.7M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 17 public filings for Ben Kortlang and found 13 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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

13 differences found between the filings for Ben Kortlang — 4 worth asking about (compared 17 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 30, 2010 – Apr 2, 2010

Amount sold went down between filings — Amonix Inc

The Mar 30, 2010 filing says $104,400,003 sold; the Apr 2, 2010 Form D says $13,717,581 sold — $90,682,422 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Investor count went down between filings — Amonix Inc

The Mar 30, 2010 filing reports 24 investors; the Apr 2, 2010 Form D reports 6 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Form D filed 384 days after the first sale — SILVER SPRING NETWORKS INC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 19, 2008. The Form D was filed Dec 8, 2009 — 384 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 369 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

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

Offering amount changed between filings — Enphase Energy, Inc. · Offering amount lowered between filings — Amonix Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — Amonix Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — SILVER SPRING NETWORKS INC · Offering amount lowered between filings — SILVER SPRING NETWORKS INC

(latest filing Jul 11, 2019) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SILVER SPRING NETWORKS INC (latest filing Dec 13, 2011) · and 2 more

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Same name, different state: "Ben Kortlang" (CO or DC) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or FL. A separate record, "Ben Kortlang" with address state CO or DC, is listed on 16 filings — most recently by Crusoe Inc. (Oct 23, 2025). Both records have filings in the same period (Oct 29, 2009 to Dec 27, 2022).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Address moved from Palo Alto, CA to Orlando, FL — Luminar Technologies, Inc.

The people listed on the Jul 11, 2019 filing give Palo Alto, CA; on the Sep 8, 2020 filing they give Orlando, FL.

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.

Ben Kortlang is listed with 2 different address states: CA, FL

CA on 16 filings (Apr 17, 2009 to Dec 27, 2022); FL on 1 filing (Sep 8, 2020).

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.

"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Nov 23, 2009); then "Decline to Disclose" (Mar 17, 2010).

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.

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).
