The short version

Derek Harn is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer in Sep 2026: COUNT Financial, Inc. (Lake Stevens, WA — other technology — 2026; $4.07M reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2026. 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 Christopher Lacy Smith (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Derek. 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) — 5 court cases matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 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 2 public filings for Derek Harn and found 2 differences: Form D filed 18 days after the first sale; Offering amount changed between filings.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Derek Harn (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 27, 2026 – Sep 14, 2026

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — COUNT Financial, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Aug 27, 2026. The Form D was filed Sep 14, 2026 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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 14, 2026 – Sep 17, 2026

Offering amount changed between filings — COUNT Financial, Inc.

The Sep 14, 2026 filing says $4,000,000 offered; the Sep 17, 2026 Form D/A says $4,075,000.

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
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
