The short version

David Beno is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2018 and Jan 2023: Xeno Biosciences Inc. (Cambridge, MA — biotechnology — 2018–2023; $9.43M reported sold to 133 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 Michael Koeris (4 shared filings), Hasan Celiker (2 shared filings), Jeffrey Arnold (2 shared filings), Stan Rose (2 shared filings) and Tom Hughes (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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 16 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 20 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 4 public filings for David Beno and found 5 differences: Form D filed 29 days after the first sale; David Beno's role changed at Xeno Biosciences Inc.: director → executive officer, director; 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 Beno (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 5, 2018 – Aug 3, 2018

Form D filed 29 days after the first sale — Xeno Biosciences Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 5, 2018. The Form D was filed Aug 3, 2018 — 29 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 14 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
Note · Feb 8, 2019 – Aug 3, 2021

David Beno's role changed at Xeno Biosciences Inc.: director → executive officer, director

The Feb 8, 2019 filing lists David Beno as director; the Aug 3, 2021 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Jul 22, 2021 – Aug 3, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Xeno Biosciences Inc. (latest filing Aug 3, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 3, 2021 (first sale Jul 22, 2021). It reports $9,426,538 sold of $9,926,538 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 1, 2019 – Feb 8, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Xeno Biosciences Inc. (latest filing Feb 8, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 8, 2019 (first sale Feb 1, 2019). It reports $720,000 sold of $1,600,000 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.

Sources
Note · Aug 3, 2021 – Jan 5, 2023

Address moved from Somerville, MA to Cambridge, MA — Xeno Biosciences Inc.

The people listed on the Aug 3, 2021 filing give Somerville, MA; on the Jan 5, 2023 filing they give Cambridge, MA.

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.
