The short version

Joel Evans is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Dec 2011: COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES INC (Fairfield, CT — other technology — 2011; $550K reported sold to 26 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Dec 2011. 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 Johnnie Johnson (1 shared filing), Peter Brennan (1 shared filing), Richard Hornidge (1 shared filing), Rustin Howard (1 shared filing) and William Reali (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Joel. 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) — 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 1 public filing for Joel Evans and found 2 differences: Form D filed 23 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Joel Evans (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 28, 2011 – Dec 21, 2011

Form D filed 23 days after the first sale — COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES INC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 28, 2011. The Form D was filed Dec 21, 2011 — 23 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 8 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 · Nov 28, 2011 – Dec 21, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES INC (latest filing Dec 21, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 21, 2011 (first sale Nov 28, 2011). It reports $550,125 sold of $607,500 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
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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
