The short version

Chen Ming Yu is listed as a director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jan 2011 and Jan 2022: ShouTi Inc. (South San Francisco, CA — biotechnology — 2021–2022; $100M reported sold to 30 investors) and CONSENSUS ORTHOPEDICS INC (El Dorado Hills, CA — other health care — 2011; $8.8M reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $108.8M sold in total.

Listed alongside Cuiping Gu (4 shared filings), Daniel Auerbach (4 shared filings), Jessica Lifton (4 shared filings), Jun Yoon (4 shared filings), Ramy Farid (4 shared filings) and 8 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 5 public filings for Chen Ming Yu and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 4 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

6 differences found between the filings for Chen Ming Yu — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 29, 2019 – Jan 10, 2022

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

Form D filed 83 days after the first sale — ShouTi Inc. · Form D filed 589 days after the first sale — ShouTi Inc. · Form D filed 906 days after the first sale — ShouTi Inc. · Form D filed 26 days after the first sale — ShouTi 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 · Jan 3, 2011 – Jan 13, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CONSENSUS ORTHOPEDICS INC (latest filing Jan 13, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 13, 2011 (first sale Jan 3, 2011). It reports $4,000,000 sold of $5,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Sources
Note · Jan 13, 2011 – Oct 21, 2021

Chen Ming Yu is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Chen-Ming Yu" on the Jan 13, 2011 filing, and "Chen Ming Yu" on 4 filings (from Oct 21, 2021).

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 10, 2024

Same name, different state: "Chen Yu" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Chen Yu" with address state NY, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by LB PHARMACEUTICALS INC (Jan 10, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 13, 2011 to Jan 10, 2022; the other has one filing dated Jan 10, 2024.

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 · Mar 29, 2016 – Nov 10, 2021

Same name, different state: "Chen Yu" (MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Chen Yu" with address state MA, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by Arbor Biotechnologies, Inc. (Nov 10, 2021). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 29, 2016 to Nov 10, 2021).

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 · Oct 12, 2018

Same name, different state: "Chen Yu" (IN) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Chen Yu" with address state IN, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Outpost Medicine, LLC (Oct 12, 2018). Both records have filings in the same period (Oct 12, 2018).

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.

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).
