The short version

Brian Paul is listed as an executive officer and director on 16 SEC Form D filings by 8 issuers between Aug 2009 and Nov 2018. Largest by amount reported sold: MERU NETWORKS INC (Sunnyvale, CA — other technology — 2009; $87.5M reported sold to 30 investors), ACQUIA INC (Boston, MA — other technology — 2011–2015; $55M reported sold to 13 investors), GOODDATA Corp (San Francisco, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2012–2018; $25.7M reported sold to 15 investors), AVERE SYSTEMS INC (Pittsburgh, PA — other technology — 2010; $17M reported sold to 9 investors), EXAGRID SYSTEMS INC (Westborough, MA — other technology — 2009–2011; $16M reported sold to 9 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 and director, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $207.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Jose Suarez (5 shared filings), Dries Buytaert (4 shared filings), John Mandile (4 shared filings), John O'Farrell (4 shared filings), Larry Bohn (4 shared filings) and 62 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.

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Tenaya (2 issuers, $0 reported sold, 2011–2014).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Tenaya has 2 companies on file and $0 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 29 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 29 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 16 public filings for Brian Paul and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; 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

10 differences found between the filings for Brian Paul — 1 worth asking about (compared 16 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 12, 2009 – May 27, 2014

5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 161 days after the first sale — VideoIQ Inc · Form D filed 145 days after the first sale — MERU NETWORKS INC · Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — ACQUIA INC · Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — ACQUIA INC · Form D filed 48 days after the first sale — VideoIQ Inc

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Sources
Note · Jul 20, 2011 – Dec 3, 2012

Brian Paul's role changed at ACQUIA INC: executive officer, director → director

The Jul 20, 2011 filing lists Brian Paul as executive officer, director; the Dec 3, 2012 Form D lists director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

7 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GOODDATA Corp (latest filing Nov 20, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GOODDATA Corp (latest filing Sep 10, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VideoIQ Inc (latest filing Sep 20, 2013) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GOODDATA Corp (latest filing Jun 25, 2013) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ACQUIA INC (latest filing Dec 3, 2012) · and 2 more

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Aug 4, 2009 – Jan 25, 2010

Brian Paul is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Brian Paul" on 14 filings (from Aug 4, 2009), and "Brian K. Paul" on 2 filings (from Jan 25, 2010).

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 · Jul 25, 2012 – Nov 20, 2018

Industry group changed between filings — GOODDATA Corp

"Other Technology" (Jul 25, 2012 to Sep 10, 2014); then "Other" (Nov 20, 2018).

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.

Sources
Note · Sep 30, 2011 – Mar 30, 2012

Same name, different state: "Brian Paul" (ME) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or MA. A separate record, "Brian Paul" with address state ME, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Oxford County Telephone & Telegraph Co (Mar 30, 2012). Both records have filings in the same period (Sep 30, 2011 to Mar 30, 2012).

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.

Sources
Note · May 27, 2014 – Sep 28, 2015

Address moved from Burlington, MA to Boston, MA — ACQUIA INC

The people listed on the May 27, 2014 filing give Burlington, MA; on the Sep 28, 2015 filing they give Boston, MA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Jan 25, 2010 – Sep 20, 2013

Address moved from Waltham, MA to Bedford, MA — VideoIQ Inc

The people listed on the Jan 25, 2010 filing give Waltham, MA; on the Sep 20, 2013 filing they give Bedford, MA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Jul 20, 2011 – Dec 3, 2012

Address moved from Waltham, MA to Burlington, MA — ACQUIA INC

The people listed on the Jul 20, 2011 filing give Waltham, MA; on the Dec 3, 2012 filing they give Burlington, MA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Aug 4, 2009 – Nov 20, 2018

Brian Paul is listed with 2 different address states: CA, MA

CA on 8 filings (Aug 4, 2009 to Nov 20, 2018); MA on 8 filings (Dec 14, 2009 to Sep 28, 2015).

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

Every issuer that named Brian Paul on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

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 Paul.

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

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 Paul 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.
