The short version

Bertolt Kreft is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2021 and Jun 2024: Bright Peak Therapeutics, Inc. (Del Mar, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2021–2024; $106.5M reported sold to 21 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 Christine Siu (2 shared filings), Fredrik Wiklund (2 shared filings), Tom Woiwode (2 shared filings), Alexander Mayweg (1 shared filing), Asish Xavier (1 shared filing) and 9 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Bertolt. 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) — 4 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 records came back, including 2 court cases 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.

We compared 2 public filings for Bertolt Kreft and found 5 differences: 5 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 3 court cases name Bertolt Kreft; 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.

Form D filed 35 days after the first sale — Bright Peak Therapeutics, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 7, 2024. The Form D was filed Jun 11, 2024 — 35 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 20 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.

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.

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
