The short version

Colm Callan is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer in Oct 2020: Aktana, Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2020; $30M reported sold to 32 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 2020. 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 David J. Ehrlich (2 shared filings), Derek Choy (2 shared filings), Doug Dennerline (2 shared filings), Gary Kurtzman (2 shared filings), Jared Kesselheim (2 shared filings) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Colm. 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 SEC release 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 2 public filings for Colm Callan and found 4 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action: Joseph Jackson and Colm Callan (Feb 2, 2021); Form D filed 389 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

4 differences found between the filings for Colm Callan — 2 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 2, 2021

Regulator action: Joseph Jackson and Colm Callan (Feb 2, 2021)

A ap release dated Feb 2, 2021 names Colm Callan. Our match estimate: 50%. The release is the source; we do not summarize its outcome here.

What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.

Sources
Note · May 24, 2011 – Aug 7, 2011

Bankruptcy case: Heller Ehrman LLP v. Incentalign, Inc. — filed May 24, 2011

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Heller Ehrman LLP v. Incentalign, Inc." filed May 24, 2011, closed Aug 7, 2011. Aktana, Inc. (related issuer) is listed as Defendant ("Incentalign, Inc."). Our match estimate: 60%.

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.

Sources
Worth asking · Sep 26, 2019 – Oct 19, 2020

Form D filed 389 days after the first sale — Aktana, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 26, 2019. The Form D was filed Oct 19, 2020 — 389 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 374 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Sep 4, 2020 – Oct 19, 2020

Form D filed 45 days after the first sale — Aktana, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 4, 2020. The Form D was filed Oct 19, 2020 — 45 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 30 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
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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

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.
