The short version

Kevin Brown is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Mar 2019 and Apr 2022: Artiphon, Inc. (Nashville, TN — industry reported as "Other" — 2019; $1.62M reported sold to 12 investors) and Prism Synthesis, Inc. (Nashville, TN — industry reported as "Other" — 2022; $500K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.12M sold in total.

Listed alongside Dana Holmes (2 shared filings), Jerry McKamey (2 shared filings), Mike Butera (2 shared filings), Artiphon, Inc. (1 shared filing, management entity) and Ervin Brown (1 shared filing).

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Artiphon (2 issuers, $2.12M reported sold, 2013–2022).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Artiphon has 2 companies on file and $2.12M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 SEC release, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 Kevin Brown and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 284 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 Kevin Brown — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 1, 2018 – Mar 12, 2019

Form D filed 284 days after the first sale — Artiphon, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 1, 2018. The Form D was filed Mar 12, 2019 — 284 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 269 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 21, 2022 – Apr 13, 2022

Form D filed 23 days after the first sale — Prism Synthesis, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 21, 2022. The Form D was filed Apr 13, 2022 — 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 · Mar 21, 2022 – Apr 13, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Prism Synthesis, Inc. (latest filing Apr 13, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 13, 2022 (first sale Mar 21, 2022). It reports $500,000 sold of $3,000,000 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
Note · Jun 1, 2018 – Mar 12, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Artiphon, Inc. (latest filing Mar 12, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 12, 2019 (first sale Jun 1, 2018). It reports $1,620,000 sold of $2,020,000 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.

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.
