The short version

Jay Kouba is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 13 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Jun 2010 and Feb 2021. Largest by amount reported sold: Synata Bio, Inc. (Warrenville, IL — other energy — 2015–2021; $47M reported sold to 4 investors), Virent Energy Systems Inc (Madison, WI — other energy — 2010; $46.4M reported sold to 18 investors), SILURIA TECHNOLOGIES INC (San Francisco, CA — oil and gas — 2013; $36.2M reported sold to 15 investors), Hyconix, Inc.

(Chicago, IL — other technology — 2010; $2.87M reported sold to 5 investors) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $138M sold in total.

Listed alongside Steven D. Kloos (7 shared filings), Matthew Ahearn (6 shared filings), Doug Cameron (2 shared filings), Erik Scher (2 shared filings), Kristina Burow (2 shared filings) and 30 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Synata (2 issuers, $2.61M reported sold, 2015–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Synata has 2 companies on file and $2.61M 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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 2 court cases matching the name, 1 state regulator order, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 13 public filings for Jay Kouba and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 473 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

9 differences found between the filings for Jay Kouba — 1 worth asking about (compared 13 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 14, 2010 – Feb 2, 2021

Jay Kouba appears on 2 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

Hyconix, Inc. (last filing Feb 2, 2021; $3,000,000 sold of $27,500,000); TetraVitae Bioscience, Inc. (last filing Oct 14, 2010; $2,868,528 sold of $6,500,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Hyconix, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗TetraVitae Bioscience, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Worth asking · Oct 17, 2019 – Feb 1, 2021

Form D filed 473 days after the first sale — Synata Bio, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 17, 2019. The Form D was filed Feb 1, 2021 — 473 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 458 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hyconix, Inc. (latest filing Feb 2, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Synata Bio, Inc.

(latest filing Oct 14, 2010) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Virent Energy Systems Inc (latest filing Jun 8, 2010)

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

The Jul 27, 2012 filing says $29,999,999 offered; the Jan 25, 2013 Form D/A says $32,900,582.

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 this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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).

The team behind the deals

S
Sponsor group

Synata

2 issuers · 8 filings · $2.61M reported sold · 2015–2021

One team, 2 deal companies. Jay Kouba is listed on 1 of them.

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Jay Kouba.

Same business address

35 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 6 issuers 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.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Jay Kouba by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 6 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
