The short version

Brian J. Girvan is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 23 SEC Form D filings by 8 issuers between Aug 2009 and Aug 2016. Largest by amount reported sold: ASCENT VENTURE PARTNERS V LP (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2009–2012; $81.8M reported sold to 41 investors), Ascent Venture Partners VI, L.P. (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2015–2016; $71M reported sold to 24 investors), Ascent Venture Partners IV-B, L.P. (Boston, MA — pooled investment fund — 2016; $41.4M reported sold to 12 investors), Verivo Software, Inc. (Waltham, MA — other technology — 2010–2013; $10M reported sold to 8 investors), BLUESOCKET INC (Burlington, MA — other technology — 2010; $8.03M reported sold to 6 investors) and 3 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 8 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $233.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Luke D. Burns (11 shared filings), Kenneth Mabbs (8 shared filings), Christopher W. Dick (6 shared filings), Geoffrey S. Oblak (6 shared filings), R. Matt Fates (6 shared filings) and 42 others.

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.

3 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Ascent Venture (3 issuers, $194.2M reported sold, 2009–2016).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Ascent Venture has 3 companies on file and $194.2M 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 23 public filings for Brian J. Girvan and found 11 differences: Bankruptcy case: Santa Barbara Bank & v. Girvan; Brian J. Girvan appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; 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.

Brian J. Girvan appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Ascent Venture Partners VI, L.P. (last filing Aug 16, 2016; $71,050,000 sold of $150,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

The Jun 7, 2012 filing lists a minimum of $350,000; the Jul 16, 2012 Form D/A lists $3,010.

Minimum investment changed between filings — KNOA SOFTWARE INC

The Apr 23, 2012 filing lists a minimum of $500,000; the Jun 7, 2012 Form D/A lists $350,000.

Brian J. Girvan is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Brian Girvan" on 13 filings (from Aug 4, 2009), and "Brian J. Girvan" on 10 filings (from Aug 28, 2009).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Jan 23, 2012 – Apr 23, 2013

Address moved from Waltham, MA to Boston, MA — Verivo Software, Inc.

The people listed on the Jan 23, 2012 filing give Waltham, MA; on the Apr 23, 2013 filing they give Boston, MA. The address now on file (1000 Winter Street, Waltham, MA) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 36 issuers.

Sources
Note · Aug 4, 2009 – Aug 16, 2016

Brian J. Girvan is listed with 2 different address states: MA, NY

MA on 15 filings (Aug 4, 2009 to Aug 16, 2016); NY on 8 filings (Jul 18, 2011 to May 23, 2016).

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.

Sources
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).

Deals 8

The team behind the deals

Sponsor group

Ascent Venture

3 issuers · 6 filings · $194.2M reported sold · 2009–2016

One team, 3 deal companies. Brian J. Girvan is listed on 3 of them.

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Brian J. Girvan.

Same business address

39 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

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 8 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 Brian J. Girvan 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 8 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
