The short version

David Hellier is listed as an executive officer and director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2021 and Jul 2025: AFC Acquisitions, Inc. (Foster City, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2021–2025; $183.1M reported sold to 40 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 Bertram Capital Management, LLC (8 shared filings, management entity), Christopher J. Brown (8 shared filings), Jeffrey M. Drazan (8 shared filings) and Kevin Yamashita (8 shared filings).

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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Bertram (35 issuers, $3.99B reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bertram has 35 companies on file and $3.99B reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 4 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 8 public filings for David Hellier and found 4 differences: Form D filed 40 days after the first sale; David Hellier's role changed at AFC Acquisitions, 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

4 differences found between the filings for David Hellier (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 1, 2023 – Jul 11, 2023

Form D filed 40 days after the first sale — AFC Acquisitions, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 1, 2023. The Form D was filed Jul 11, 2023 — 40 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 25 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 · Jul 11, 2024 – Jul 7, 2025

David Hellier's role changed at AFC Acquisitions, Inc.: director → executive officer, director

The Jul 11, 2024 filing lists David Hellier as director; the Jul 7, 2025 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 · Jan 6, 2023 – Feb 9, 2023

Offering amount changed between filings — AFC Acquisitions, Inc.

The Jan 6, 2023 filing says $20,598,948 offered; the Feb 9, 2023 Form D/A says $26,877,925.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Apr 12, 2021 – Dec 28, 2021

Offering amount changed between filings — AFC Acquisitions, Inc.

The Apr 12, 2021 filing says $137,725,280 offered; the Dec 28, 2021 Form D/A says $183,108,717.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

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

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.
