Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:34 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET

The short version

David Styka is listed as an executive officer on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Sep 2015 and Nov 2018: AURIS HEALTH, INC. (Redwood City, CA — other technology — 2015–2018; $280.2M reported sold to 39 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 Bijan Salehizadeh (4 shared filings), Frederic Moll (4 shared filings), Peter Hebert (4 shared filings), Ajay Royan (3 shared filings), ROBERT KERREY (2 shared filings) and 2 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 3 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 4 public filings for David Styka and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 121 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

3 differences found between the filings for David Styka — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 5, 2017 – Aug 4, 2017

Form D filed 121 days after the first sale — AURIS HEALTH, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 5, 2017. The Form D was filed Aug 4, 2017 — 121 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 106 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 · Sep 8, 2015 – Nov 28, 2018

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AURIS HEALTH, INC. (latest filing Nov 28, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AURIS HEALTH, INC. (latest filing Aug 4, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AURIS HEALTH, INC. (latest filing Aug 9, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AURIS HEALTH, INC. (latest filing Sep 23, 2015)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Aug 4, 2017 – Nov 28, 2018

Address moved from San Carlos, CA to Redwood City, CA — AURIS HEALTH, INC.

The people listed on the Aug 4, 2017 filing give San Carlos, CA; on the Nov 28, 2018 filing they give Redwood City, 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.

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).
