The short version

Ivan Brightly is listed as a promoter on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Nov 2021: Atomizer 37, a series of Atomizer LLC (Dover, DE — pooled investment fund — 2021; $350K reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Nov 2021. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

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) — 6 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 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 1 public filing for Ivan Brightly and found 3 differences: 5 court cases name Ivan Brightly; Form D filed 31 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.

Note · Jan 12, 2017 – Sep 4, 2026

5 court cases name Ivan Brightly — 1 as defendant

By role: plaintiff in 4, defendant in 1. Newest: "Brightly v. Pharmerica Professional Services, LLC" (District Court, W.D. Texas, Sep 4, 2026); "BRIGHTLY v. NORTHSTAR LOCATION SERVICES, LLC" (District Court, D. New Jersey, May 21, 2021); "Brightly v. Carriker Inc." (District Court, S.D. Iowa, Mar 2, 2020).

Note · Oct 18, 2021 – Nov 18, 2021

Form D filed 31 days after the first sale — Atomizer 37, a series of Atomizer LLC

The filing says the first sale was Oct 18, 2021. The Form D was filed Nov 18, 2021 — 31 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 16 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.

Same name, different state: "Ivan Brightly" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is DE. A separate record, "Ivan Brightly" with address state NY, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by SolidX Partners Inc. (Sep 18, 2014). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Nov 18, 2021; the other has one filing dated Sep 18, 2014.

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.

5. Money to insiders
