The short version

Brian Forbis is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2024 and Jun 2026: Science & Technology Partners Offshore, Ltd. (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands (as filed: E9) — pooled investment fund — 2024–2026; $9.59M reported sold to 5 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 Candice Willoughby (3 shared filings), Karl O'Reilly (3 shared filings), Science & Technology Partners, L.P. (2 shared filings, management entity) and Science & Technology Partners, L.P. (1 shared filing, management entity).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Science (2 issuers, $341.2M reported sold, 2024–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Science has 2 companies on file and $341.2M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 10 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 15 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.
