The short version

Cody Simms is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2019 and Apr 2021: Voatz, Inc. (Boston, MA — other technology — 2019–2021; $5.8M reported sold to 14 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Jonathan Johnson (2 shared filings), Nimit Sawhney (2 shared filings) and Simer Sawhney (2 shared filings).

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

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.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today.
