The short version

Don Nelson is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in May 2026: TiGR, LLC (Wilmington, DE — industry reported as "Other" — 2026; $2.04M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 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 Daryl Heald (1 shared filing), Jeff Reeter (1 shared filing), John Houston (1 shared filing), Scott Pyle (1 shared filing) and Steve Miller (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Don. 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 court case matching the name, 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 18 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 1 public filing for Don Nelson and found 3 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down 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 Don Nelson — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 26, 2026 – May 1, 2026

Investor count went down between filings — TiGR, LLC

The Feb 26, 2026 filing reports 2 investors; the May 1, 2026 Form D/A reports 1 investor.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Note · Feb 26, 2026 – May 1, 2026

Offering amount changed between filings — TiGR, LLC

The Feb 26, 2026 filing says $3,500,000 offered; the May 1, 2026 Form D/A says $10,000,000.

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.

Same name, different state: "Don Nelson" (A0) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is DE. A separate record, "Don Nelson" with address state A0, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Production Plus Energy Services Inc. (Jul 15, 2016). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated May 1, 2026; the other has one filing dated Jul 15, 2016.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

None of the 1 issuer 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.
