What this means 29 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 7 public filings for Mark Friedman and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: North Point Advisors LLC; 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.

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals
9 differences found between the filings for Mark Friedman — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. California docket "Wesley Yan and Wendy Yu" filed Mar 15, 2010, closed Jul 12, 2010. Wendy Yu (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Wesley Yan and Wendy Yu"). Our match estimate: 70%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
North Point Advisors LLC is listed as receiving sales compensation on 2 filings (Jul 29, 2009 to Nov 5, 2010) with no FINRA CRD number given.
What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.
The filing says the first sale was Dec 23, 2009. The Form D was filed Feb 4, 2010 — 43 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 28 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.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 5, 2010 (first sale Jul 17, 2009). It reports $7,500,000 sold of $10,700,000 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: 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.

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.

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.

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).
