The short version

Karyn Smith is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Mar 2021 and Oct 2022: ICERTIS, Inc. (Bellevue, WA — other technology — 2021–2022; $80M reported sold to 14 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 John Connors (3 shared filings), Kabir Narang (3 shared filings), Mark Terbeek (3 shared filings), Monish Darda (3 shared filings), Paul Madera (3 shared filings) and 6 others.

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Icertis (2 issuers, $50.6M reported sold, 2013–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Icertis has 2 companies on file and $50.6M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 23 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases.

What this means 23 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.
