The short version

David Bell is listed as a director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Apr 2012 and Jul 2022: Flipboard, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA — other technology — 2022; $50.5M reported sold to 23 investors), PeerNova, Inc. (San Jose, CA — other technology — 2015–2017; $28.4M reported sold to 42 investors), ARADIGM CORP (Hayward, CA — pharmaceuticals — 2016; $23M reported sold to 9 investors) and VIZU CORP (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2012; $6.85M reported sold to 27 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $108.8M sold in total.

Listed alongside Christopher Mausler (3 shared filings), Gangesh Ganesan (3 shared filings), Jalil Shaikh (3 shared filings), Naveed Sherwani (3 shared filings), ALAN GOULD (2 shared filings) and 18 others.

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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 2 state regulator orders, 27 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 30 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 7 public filings for David Bell and found 11 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 402 days after the first sale; Form D filed 1,455 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

11 differences found between the filings for David Bell — 2 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Feb 15, 2019 – Sep 29, 2020

Bankruptcy case: Aradigm Corporation — filed Feb 15, 2019

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Aradigm Corporation" filed Feb 15, 2019, closed Sep 29, 2020. ARADIGM CORP (related issuer) is listed as Debtor ("Aradigm Corporation"). 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.

Worth asking · Mar 4, 2011 – Apr 9, 2012

Form D filed 402 days after the first sale — VIZU CORP

The filing says the first sale was Mar 4, 2011. The Form D was filed Apr 9, 2012 — 402 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 387 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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — PeerNova, Inc. (latest filing Dec 28, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 28, 2017 (first sale Dec 18, 2017). It reports $7,174,589 sold of $8,727,287 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.

Same name, different state: "David Bell" (KY or NY or VA or NC) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "David Bell" with address state KY or NY or VA or NC, is listed on 80 filings — most recently by Arlington Business Center REIT, LLC (Jan 14, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Apr 9, 2012 to Jul 1, 2022).

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.

5. Money to insiders

4 of 7 offerings report sales commissions totalling $2,917,053; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $20,000; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).

Deals 4

Every issuer that named David Bell on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 4 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to David Bell by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 4 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
