The short version

David Silverglate is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2018 and Feb 2020: Thoughtfull Toys, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA — other technology — 2018–2020; $1.02M reported sold to 18 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 Brian Gulassa (3 shared filings), Sheila Joyce Kellerman (3 shared filings) and Trevor Hite (3 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, 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 3 public filings for David Silverglate and found 6 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Form D filed 351 days after the first sale; 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

6 differences found between the filings for David Silverglate — 3 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 29, 2022 – Aug 26, 2022

Bankruptcy case: Thoughtfull Toys, Inc. — filed Jul 29, 2022

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Thoughtfull Toys, Inc." filed Jul 29, 2022, closed Aug 26, 2022. Thoughtfull Toys, Inc. (related issuer) is listed as Debtor ("Thoughtfull Toys, Inc."). Our match estimate: 80%.

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
Worth asking · Aug 2, 2018 – Feb 11, 2020

Amount sold went down between filings — Thoughtfull Toys, Inc.

The Aug 2, 2018 filing says $960,000 sold; the Feb 11, 2020 Form D/A says $920,000 sold — $40,000 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
Note · Feb 11, 2020

David Silverglate appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Thoughtfull Toys, Inc. (last filing Feb 11, 2020; $1,025,000 sold of $4,585,625). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Worth asking · Aug 16, 2017 – Aug 2, 2018

Form D filed 351 days after the first sale — Thoughtfull Toys, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 16, 2017. The Form D was filed Aug 2, 2018 — 351 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 336 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · Jan 29, 2016 – Aug 2, 2018

Form D filed 916 days after the first sale — Thoughtfull Toys, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 29, 2016. The Form D was filed Aug 2, 2018 — 916 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 901 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Aug 16, 2017 – Feb 11, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Thoughtfull Toys, Inc. (latest filing Feb 11, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 11, 2020 (first sale Aug 16, 2017). It reports $920,000 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
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

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one.

Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl.

Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 1 issuer this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
