The short version

David A. Baum is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2013 and Apr 2016: Protein2O Inc. (Elk Grove Village, IL — industry reported as "Other" — 2013–2016; $4.25M reported sold to 12 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 Robert M. Kral (2 shared filings), Scott Keplinger (2 shared filings), Greg Carstensen (1 shared filing), Joseph Suhey (1 shared filing) and Matthew Suhey (1 shared filing).

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

What this means 9 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 David A. Baum and found 5 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "David Baum" (MA) is a separate record; 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 David A. Baum (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 4, 2016 – Apr 14, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Protein2O Inc. (latest filing Apr 14, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 14, 2016 (first sale Apr 4, 2016). It reports $475,000 sold of $1,800,000 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.

Note · Sep 14, 2009 – Apr 10, 2026

Same name, different state: "David Baum" (MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IL. A separate record, "David Baum" with address state MA, is listed on 23 filings — most recently by Wyebot, Inc. (Apr 10, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 19, 2013 to Apr 14, 2016).

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.

Address moved from Melrose Park, IL to Chicago, IL — Protein2O Inc.

The people listed on the Dec 19, 2013 filing give Melrose Park, IL; on the Apr 14, 2016 filing they give Chicago, IL.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.
