The short version

Elliot Sainer is listed as an executive officer and director on 9 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2011 and Oct 2015: KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC. (New York, NY — other technology — 2011–2015; $9.84M reported sold to 22 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 Alvin H. Crawford, Jr. (9 shared filings), Thomas G. Mendell (9 shared filings), Mark DeFusco (6 shared filings), Thomas Gilbert (6 shared filings), John Lent (5 shared filings) and 13 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Elliot. 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) — 2 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 9 public filings for Elliot Sainer and found 6 differences: Form D filed 19 days after the first sale; Elliot Sainer's role changed at KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.: executive officer, director → director; 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

6 differences found between the filings for Elliot Sainer (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 8, 2015 – May 27, 2015

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.

The filing says the first sale was May 8, 2015. The Form D was filed May 27, 2015 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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 · Oct 3, 2013 – Jan 7, 2014

Elliot Sainer's role changed at KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.: executive officer, director → director

The Oct 3, 2013 filing lists Elliot Sainer as executive officer, director; the Jan 7, 2014 Form D lists director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Apr 26, 2011 – May 8, 2012

Elliot Sainer's role changed at KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.: director → executive officer, director

The Apr 26, 2011 filing lists Elliot Sainer as director; the May 8, 2012 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · May 27, 2015 – Oct 16, 2015

Offering amount changed between filings — KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC.

The May 27, 2015 filing says $2,000,000 offered; the Oct 16, 2015 Form D/A says $3,200,000.

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 · Apr 13, 2011 – Oct 16, 2015

7 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC. (latest filing Oct 16, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC. (latest filing Jan 7, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC. (latest filing Oct 3, 2013) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC. (latest filing Jun 19, 2013) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — KNOWLEDGE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC. (latest filing Aug 22, 2012) · and 2 more

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Mar 9, 2017

Same name, different state: "Elliot Sainer" (MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Elliot Sainer" with address state MA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by EnCompass Education Solutions, Inc. (Mar 9, 2017). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Apr 26, 2011 to Oct 16, 2015; the other has one filing dated Mar 9, 2017.

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.

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).
