The short version

David Hovda is listed as an executive officer and director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jul 2009 and Feb 2023: SpinalMotion Inc (Mountain View, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2013; $25.6M reported sold to 15 investors) and Innovein, Inc. (Santa Rosa, CA — other health care — 2023; $10.7M reported sold to 66 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 14 years. Across those companies the filings report $36.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside Graham Blackbeard (9 shared filings), James Shapiro (9 shared filings), Malan de Villiers (9 shared filings), Michael Ellwein (9 shared filings), Richard Spalding (8 shared filings) and 6 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, 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, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 10 public filings for David Hovda and found 7 differences: Bankruptcy case: MCCULLOCH CORPORATION v. HOVDA; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

7 differences found between the filings for David Hovda (compared 10 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 30, 1999 – Jun 15, 2000

Bankruptcy case: MCCULLOCH CORPORATION v. HOVDA — filed Nov 30, 1999

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Arizona docket "MCCULLOCH CORPORATION v. HOVDA" filed Nov 30, 1999, closed Jun 15, 2000. David Hovda is listed as Defendant ("HOVDA"). Our match estimate: 40%.

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.

Sources
Note · Jan 25, 2023 – Feb 6, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Innovein, Inc. (latest filing Feb 6, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 6, 2023 (first sale Jan 25, 2023). It reports $2,545,164 sold of $11,923,800 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 · Jul 8, 2009 – Jul 22, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SpinalMotion Inc (latest filing Jul 22, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 22, 2009 (first sale Jul 8, 2009). It reports $10,499,998 sold of $26,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 14, 2011 – Oct 3, 2013

6 offerings changed their target amount between filings

Offering amount changed between filings — SpinalMotion Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — SpinalMotion Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — SpinalMotion Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — SpinalMotion Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — SpinalMotion Inc · and 1 more

What this means Targets change as deals grow or shrink. Ask whether later money has the same terms.

Sources
Note · Mar 8, 2022 – Jul 13, 2023

Same name, different state: "David Hovda" (WA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "David Hovda" with address state WA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by CurvaFix, Inc. (Jul 13, 2023). Both records have filings in the same period (Mar 8, 2022 to Feb 6, 2023).

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.

Sources
Note · Jul 22, 2009 – Jun 14, 2011

Address moved from San Francisco, CA to Mountain View, CA — SpinalMotion Inc

The people listed on the Jul 22, 2009 filing give San Francisco, CA; on the Jun 14, 2011 filing they give Mountain View, CA.

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
Note · Jul 14, 2009 – Jul 22, 2009

Address moved from Irene, South Africa (as filed: T3) to San Francisco, CA — SpinalMotion Inc

The people listed on the Jul 14, 2009 filing give Irene, South Africa (as filed: T3); on the Jul 22, 2009 filing they give San Francisco, CA.

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.

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
