What this means 8 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 12 public filings for Bruce Golden and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Bruce A. Golden; 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.

8 differences found between the filings for Bruce Golden — 2 worth asking about (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Bruce A. Golden" filed Dec 2, 2006, closed May 6, 2009. Bruce Golden is listed as Debtor ("Bruce A. Golden"). Our match estimate: 44%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Bruce A. Golden" filed Oct 27, 1995, closed Aug 16, 2000. Bruce Golden is listed as Debtor ("Bruce A. Golden"). Our match estimate: 44%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
The filing says the first sale was Feb 10, 2017. The Form D was filed Feb 27, 2017 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.
No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ForgeRock, Inc. (latest filing Apr 21, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Amitree, Inc. (latest filing Nov 29, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Trufa Inc. (latest filing Feb 27, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Trufa Inc. (latest filing Dec 4, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Amitree, Inc. (latest filing Aug 14, 2015)
What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.
The Oct 9, 2014 filing says $10,400,000 offered; the Dec 4, 2015 Form D/A says $11,400,000.
What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.
This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Bruce Golden" with address state X0, is listed on 9 filings — most recently by OpenGamma, Inc. (Oct 5, 2016). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 29, 2013 to Oct 5, 2016).
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.
This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Bruce Golden" with address state MA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by STREAMBASE SYSTEMS INC (May 18, 2012). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 29, 2013 to Apr 21, 2020; the other runs Apr 27, 2010 to May 18, 2012.
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.
The people listed on the Oct 9, 2014 filing give Heidelberg, Germany (as filed: 2M); on the Dec 4, 2015 filing they give San Mateo, CA. The address now on file (155 Bovet Road, Suite 303, San Mateo, CA) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 17 issuers.
What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.
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.

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 Bruce Golden.
A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.
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); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 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.

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).
None of the 4 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.
