The short version

Daniel Chan is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2021 and Dec 2021: Paperclip Technologies, Inc. (San Mateo, CA — other technology — 2021; $7M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Dec 2021. 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 Kent Mori (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Daniel. 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) — 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

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 2 public filings for Daniel Chan and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 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.

Note · Mar 19, 2021 – Apr 8, 2021

Form D filed 20 days after the first sale — Paperclip Technologies, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 19, 2021. The Form D was filed Apr 8, 2021 — 20 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 5 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.

Note · Nov 18, 2021 – Dec 1, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Paperclip Technologies, Inc. (latest filing Dec 1, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 1, 2021 (first sale Nov 18, 2021). It reports $7,000,000 sold of $8,000,000 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.

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.
