The short version

David Chen is listed as an executive officer and director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Sep 2014 and Dec 2019: Capsilon Corp (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2014–2015; $21.4M reported sold to 6 investors), Protoscale Rubrik, LLC (Claymont, DE — pooled investment fund — 2019; $16.5M reported sold to 8 investors), Protoscale Rubrik 2, LLC (Claymont, DE — pooled investment fund — 2019; $11.7M reported sold to 23 investors) and MID Labs Ltd. (San Leandro, CA — biotechnology — 2014; $4.75M reported sold to 25 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $54.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Richard Thoms (4 shared filings), Assure Fund Management II LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), David Sohm (2 shared filings), Martin J. Waters (2 shared filings), Michael Danaher (2 shared filings) and 8 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.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Protoscale Rubrik (2 issuers, $28.2M reported sold, 2019) and Nimble Seed (3 issuers, $21.4M reported sold, 2014–2025).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

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) — 2 court cases matching the name, 19 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 21 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 Chen and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 12 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; 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

9 differences found between the filings for David Chen — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 29, 1997 – Aug 7, 2015

12 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: David S Chen and Margaret L Chen — filed Apr 15, 2011 · Bankruptcy case: David Chen — filed Sep 3, 2013 · Bankruptcy case: David Chen — filed Apr 10, 2013 · Bankruptcy case: David Chen — filed Jan 9, 2013 · Bankruptcy case: David L.

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.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Capsilon Corp (latest filing Mar 26, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 26, 2015 (first sale Aug 22, 2014). It reports $21,433,995 sold of $21,900,000 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.

Form D/A · Mar 26, 2015 ↗Capsilon Corp — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Aug 7, 2019 – Aug 20, 2019

Offering amount changed between filings — Protoscale Rubrik 2, LLC

The Aug 7, 2019 filing says $5,000,000 offered; the Aug 20, 2019 Form D/A says $11,688,300.

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.

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.

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).
