The short version

Howard Bobrow is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Apr 2009 and Aug 2025: ValCor Cath Inc. (Ottawa Hills, OH — biotechnology — 2023–2025; $4.25M reported sold to 52 investors) and Turbonetics Holdings, Inc. (Simi Valley, CA — manufacturing — 2009; $1.68M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 16 years. Across those companies the filings report $5.93M sold in total.

Listed alongside Eugene Jung (2 shared filings), P. Kasi Ramanathan (2 shared filings), Christopher F. Childres (1 shared filing), Diane Chelsea (1 shared filing), Don DeFosset (1 shared filing) and 5 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Turbonetics (2 issuers, $181.7M reported sold, 2009–2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Turbonetics has 2 companies on file and $181.7M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 3 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 3 public filings for Howard Bobrow and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 61 days after the first sale; 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.

Worth asking · Feb 27, 2009 – Apr 29, 2009

Form D filed 61 days after the first sale — Turbonetics Holdings, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 27, 2009. The Form D was filed Apr 29, 2009 — 61 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 46 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.

Form D filed 20 days after the first sale — ValCor Cath Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 19, 2023. The Form D was filed Jun 8, 2023 — 20 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 5 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.

The Jun 8, 2023 filing says $2,250,000 offered; the Aug 14, 2025 Form D/A says $4,250,000.

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.

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.
