The short version

Deepak Taneja is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2012 and Aug 2022: Zilla Security Inc. (Wellesley, MA — other technology — 2019–2022; $12M reported sold to 6 investors), CyGlass Inc. (Littleton, MA — other technology — 2018; $8.74M reported sold to 10 investors) and AVEKSA INC (Waltham, MA — industry reported as "Other" — 2012–2013; $4.48M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $25.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Amish Jani (5 shared filings), Jamie Goldstein (3 shared filings), Nitin Sonawane (3 shared filings), Barry Bycoff (2 shared filings), Izhar Armony (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 Deepak. 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) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 6 public filings for Deepak Taneja and found 3 differences: Form D filed 21 days after the first sale; Offering amount changed between filings; 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 Deepak Taneja (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 25, 2019 – Jul 16, 2019

Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — Zilla Security Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 25, 2019. The Form D was filed Jul 16, 2019 — 21 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 6 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 · Jul 16, 2019 – Jun 4, 2020

Offering amount changed between filings — Zilla Security Inc.

The Jul 16, 2019 filing says $3,125,000 offered; the Jun 4, 2020 Form D/A says $4,125,000.

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.

Sources
Note · Jan 17, 2018 – Feb 1, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CyGlass Inc. (latest filing Feb 1, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 1, 2018 (first sale Jan 17, 2018). It reports $900,000 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

0 of 5 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $40,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 3 issuers 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.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Deepak Taneja by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 3 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
