The short version

Ben Yu is listed as a director on 26 SEC Form D filings by 9 issuers between Nov 2009 and Dec 2022. Largest by amount reported sold: CNEX LABS, INC. (San Jose, CA — other technology — 2014–2021; $32.7M reported sold to 26 investors), VERISILICON HOLDINGS CO LTD (Shanghai, China (as filed: F4) — other technology — 2009–2014; $22.3M reported sold to 29 investors), MULTIGIG INC (San Jose, CA — other technology — 2010; $15.4M reported sold to 12 investors), DeepHow Corp. (Royal Oak, MI — industry reported as "Other" — 2022; $14M reported sold to 6 investors), NextInput, Inc. (San Jose, CA — other technology — 2015–2016; $11M reported sold to 27 investors) and 4 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 9 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 13 years. Across those companies the filings report $121.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Alan Armstrong (8 shared filings), Bill Moore (8 shared filings), Clark Jernigan (6 shared filings), Lip-Bu Tan (6 shared filings), Marco Landi (6 shared filings) and 46 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 26 public filings for Ben Yu and found 12 differences: 6 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; Offering amount changed 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.

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Same name, different state: "Ben Yu" (MI) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Ben Yu" with address state MI, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by DeepHow Corp. (May 21, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 10, 2009 to Dec 28, 2022; the other has one filing dated May 21, 2025.

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.

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.

The team behind the deals

Same business address

12 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 9 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Ben Yu by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 9 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
