The short version

John Torvik is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2013 and Nov 2013: QD VISION INC (Lexington, MA — other technology — 2013; $28.9M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Nov 2013. 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 Gary E. Haroian (2 shared filings), James Goldstein (2 shared filings), Jason Carlson (2 shared filings), Robert Woodbury, Jr. (2 shared filings), Sean Dalton (2 shared filings) and 2 others.

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

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) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 2 public filings for John Torvik and found 3 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "John Torvik" (NC) is a separate record; 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

3 differences found between the filings for John Torvik (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 12, 2013 – Nov 26, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — QD VISION INC (latest filing Nov 26, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 26, 2013 (first sale Nov 12, 2013). It reports $7,999,998 sold of $11,999,994 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.

Note · Aug 24, 2009

Same name, different state: "John Torvik" (NC) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "John Torvik" with address state NC, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by MegaWatt Solar, Inc. (Aug 24, 2009). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Apr 2, 2013 to Nov 26, 2013; the other has one filing dated Aug 24, 2009.

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
