The short version

Derek Smith is listed as an executive officer and director on 21 SEC Form D filings by 12 issuers between Jan 2012 and Mar 2022. Largest by amount reported sold: Ballistic Ventures I, LP (San Mateo, CA — pooled investment fund — 2022; $297.5M reported sold to 309 investors), Synack, Inc. (Redwood City, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2013–2020; $51.6M reported sold to 15 investors), SHAPE SECURITY, INC. (Menlo Park, CA — other technology — 2012–2018; $40M reported sold to 17 investors), Area 1 Security, Inc. (Menlo Park, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2014; $8M reported sold to 8 investors), Diamond Contract Services, Inc. (Burbank, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2012; $3.5M reported sold to 1 investors) and 7 more (all listed below).

What this means That is a lot of deals — 12 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $401.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Ted Schlein (9 shared filings), Gaurav Garg (5 shared filings), Jay Kaplan (5 shared filings), Mark Kuhr (5 shared filings), Sumit Agarwal (5 shared filings) and 39 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.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Oaktree (322 issuers, $132.91B reported sold, 2009–2026) and Ballistic (6 issuers, $836M reported sold, 2012–2025).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

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) — 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 21 public filings for Derek Smith and found 18 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; Derek Smith is no longer listed on the Jun 14, 2022 amendment; 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.

Derek Smith appears on the Mar 11, 2022 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Jun 14, 2022 Form D/A for the same offering.

Address moved from San Carlos, CA to San Mateo, CA — Ballistic Ventures I, LP

The people listed on the Dec 6, 2021 filing give San Carlos, CA; on the Mar 11, 2022 filing they give San Mateo, CA. The address now on file (1100 Park Place, Suite 150, San Mateo, CA) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 7 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

Derek Smith is listed with 2 different address states: AZ, CA

AZ on 1 filing (Jan 18, 2012); CA on 20 filings (Apr 24, 2012 to Mar 11, 2022).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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

7 of 20 offerings report sales commissions totalling $43,750; 0 report finder's fees; 2 report proceeds to related persons totalling $225,425. (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).

Deals 12

Every issuer that named Derek Smith on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

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

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. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. 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); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 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. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). 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 12 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 Derek Smith 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 12 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
