The short version

Derek Edinger is listed as an executive officer on 5 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2018 and Nov 2019: Ursa Space Systems Inc. (Ithaca, NY — other technology — 2018–2019; $27.9M reported sold to 24 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 Adam J. Maher (5 shared filings), Christopher Steed (5 shared filings), Julie Baker (5 shared filings), William Porteous (5 shared filings), Tom Edwards (4 shared filings) and 1 others.

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) — 8 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 records came back, including 2 court cases 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 5 public filings for Derek Edinger and found 4 differences: Form D filed 51 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

4 differences found between the filings for Derek Edinger (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 20, 2019 – Jul 10, 2019

Form D filed 51 days after the first sale — Ursa Space Systems Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 20, 2019. The Form D was filed Jul 10, 2019 — 51 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 36 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 17, 2019 – Nov 20, 2019

Offering amount changed between filings — Ursa Space Systems Inc.

The Sep 17, 2019 filing says $12,595,620 offered; the Nov 20, 2019 Form D/A says $15,010,304.

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 · Jul 10, 2019 – Aug 2, 2019

Offering amount changed between filings — Ursa Space Systems Inc.

The Jul 10, 2019 filing says $1,500,000 offered; the Aug 2, 2019 Form D/A says $2,830,000.

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 · Jun 22, 2018 – Jul 6, 2018

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ursa Space Systems Inc. (latest filing Jul 6, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 6, 2018 (first sale Jun 22, 2018). It reports $5,449,986 sold of $5,700,000 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
