The short version

David Osman is listed as an executive officer and director on 27 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2016 and Apr 2025: Storygize Inc. (Santa Barbara, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2016–2025; $4.3M reported sold to 36 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 Howard Rochestie (27 shared filings), Anders Bjoras (26 shared filings) and Anders Bjouras (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) — 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 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 27 public filings for David Osman and found 7 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; 12 offerings reported fewer investors on a later filing; 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 Osman — 2 worth asking about (compared 27 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 20, 2019 – Jan 3, 2020

Amount sold went down between filings — Storygize Inc.

The Dec 20, 2019 filing says $2,095,000 sold; the Jan 3, 2020 Form D/A says $2,045,000 sold — $50,000 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Apr 12, 2016 – Jan 3, 2020

12 offerings reported fewer investors on a later filing

Investor count went down between filings — Storygize Inc. · Investor count went down between filings — Storygize Inc. · Investor count went down between filings — Storygize Inc. · Investor count went down between filings — Storygize Inc. · Investor count went down between filings — Storygize Inc. · and 7 more

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. Ask the sponsor what happened on each.

Sources
Note · Mar 28, 2025 – Apr 30, 2025

Form D filed 33 days after the first sale — Storygize Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 28, 2025. The Form D was filed Apr 30, 2025 — 33 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 18 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 · Jan 1, 2018 – Feb 28, 2018

Form D filed 58 days after the first sale — Storygize Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 1, 2018. The Form D was filed Feb 28, 2018 — 58 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 43 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 · Mar 28, 2025 – Apr 30, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Storygize Inc. (latest filing Apr 30, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 30, 2025 (first sale Mar 28, 2025). It reports $650,000 sold of $1,000,000 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 · Aug 28, 2019 – Jun 19, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Storygize Inc. (latest filing Jun 19, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 19, 2020 (first sale Aug 28, 2019). It reports $2,900,000 sold of $6,000,000 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 · Apr 12, 2016 – Aug 29, 2019

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Storygize Inc.

"Not Applicable" (Apr 12, 2016); then "Decline to Disclose" (Aug 29, 2019).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

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.
