The short version

Ellen Kullman is listed as a director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2016 and Apr 2019: Carbon, Inc. (Redwood City, CA — other technology — 2016–2019; $200M reported sold to 17 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 Grosser (5 shared filings), Alan S. Mulally (5 shared filings), James J. Goetz (5 shared filings), Joseph M. DeSimone (5 shared filings), Josh Green (5 shared filings) and 7 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ellen. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 12 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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 5 public filings for Ellen Kullman and found 3 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 Ellen Kullman (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 22, 2019 – Apr 5, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Carbon, Inc. (latest filing Apr 5, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 5, 2019 (first sale Mar 22, 2019). It reports $119,999,899 sold of $300,000,000 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
Note · Jul 29, 2016 – Sep 27, 2016

Offering amount changed between filings — Carbon, Inc.

The Jul 29, 2016 filing says $70,000,000 offered; the Sep 27, 2016 Form D/A says $81,058,666.

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 · Sep 27, 2016 – Oct 4, 2016

Same name, different state: "Ellen J. Kullman" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Ellen J. Kullman" with address state TX, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Dell Technologies Inc (Oct 4, 2016). Both records have filings in the same period (Sep 27, 2016 to Oct 4, 2016).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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

1 of 3 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $3,000,000; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (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).
