The short version

Bing Gordon is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2020 and Nov 2020: Duolingo, Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA — other technology — 2020; $35M reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Nov 2020. 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 Brad Burnham (3 shared filings), Gillian Munson (3 shared filings), Luis von Ahn (3 shared filings), Severin Hacker (3 shared filings), Laela Sturdy (2 shared filings) and 5 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Bing. 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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 3 public filings for Bing Gordon and found 3 differences: Form D filed 53 days after the first sale; Same name, different state: "Bing Gordon" (IL) is a separate record; 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

3 differences found between the filings for Bing Gordon (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 15, 2019 – Jan 7, 2020

Form D filed 53 days after the first sale — Duolingo, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 15, 2019. The Form D was filed Jan 7, 2020 — 53 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 38 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 · Jan 7, 2025

Same name, different state: "Bing Gordon" (IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is PA. A separate record, "Bing Gordon" with address state IL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Baron App, Inc. (Jan 7, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 7, 2020 to Nov 19, 2020; the other has one filing dated Jan 7, 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.

Sources
Note · May 28, 2010 – Jul 1, 2022

Same name, different state: "Bing Gordon" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is PA. A separate record, "Bing Gordon" with address state CA, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Flipboard, Inc. (Jul 1, 2022). Both records have filings in the same period (Jan 7, 2020 to Nov 19, 2020).

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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 3 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

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).
