The short version

Bryan Ritchie is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between May 2018 and Mar 2022: Notre Dame Pit Road Fund, L.P. (South Bend, IN — pooled investment fund — 2018; $16.9M reported sold to 24 investors), SIMBA Chain, Inc. (Plymouth, IN — other technology — 2021; $12.1M reported sold to 20 investors), Vennli, Inc. (South Bend, IN — other technology — 2018; $5.36M reported sold to 41 investors), Cobomba, Inc. (South Bend, IN — other technology — 2020–2021; $1.62M reported sold to 14 investors) and GrowthSport, Inc. (Draper, UT — business services — 2022).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $35.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Bart Frischknecht (3 shared filings), James E. Thompson (2 shared filings), Kevin T. Keleghan (2 shared filings), Melissa Kavanagh (2 shared filings), Christopher Clap (1 shared filing) and 9 others.

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

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Vennli (2 issuers, $1.69M reported sold, 2014–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Vennli has 2 companies on file and $1.69M 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) — 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 6 public filings for Bryan Ritchie and found 5 differences: Form D filed 18 days after the first sale; 5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Bryan Ritchie (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 25, 2021 – Jul 13, 2021

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — SIMBA Chain, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 25, 2021. The Form D was filed Jul 13, 2021 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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 · May 18, 2018 – Aug 13, 2021

5 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 — Cobomba, Inc. (latest filing Aug 13, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SIMBA Chain, Inc. (latest filing Jul 13, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Cobomba, Inc. (latest filing Jun 4, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vennli, Inc. (latest filing Nov 6, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Notre Dame Pit Road Fund, L.P. (latest filing May 31, 2018)

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 · May 31, 2018 – Nov 6, 2018

Bryan Ritchie is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Bryan K Ritchie" on the May 31, 2018 filing, and "Bryan Ritchie" on 5 filings (from Nov 6, 2018).

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 · Oct 12, 2023 – Feb 27, 2025

Same name, different state: "Bryan Ritchie" (WY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IN. A separate record, "Bryan Ritchie" with address state WY, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by EyeCanKnow, Inc. (Feb 27, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Nov 6, 2018 to Mar 10, 2022; the other runs Oct 12, 2023 to Feb 27, 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 17, 2017 – Sep 15, 2023

Same name, different state: "Bryan Ritchie" (UT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IN. A separate record, "Bryan Ritchie" with address state UT, is listed on 9 filings — most recently by AI Medica, Inc. (Sep 15, 2023). Both records have filings in the same period (Nov 6, 2018 to Mar 10, 2022).

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.

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).

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.
