The short version

Mark Tanner is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jul 2010 and Sep 2017: BluAzu, LLC (Gainesville, FL — other technology — 2015–2017; $1.53M reported sold to 19 investors) and OPTIMA NEUROSCIENCE INC (Alachua, FL — biotechnology — 2010; $265K reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.8M sold in total.

Listed alongside Richard Allen (4 shared filings), Richard Auerbach (2 shared filings), Amanda M. Burks (1 shared filing), Deng-Shan Shiau (1 shared filing), J. Chris Sackellares (1 shared filing) and 3 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Bluazu (2 issuers, $2.16M reported sold, 2015–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Bluazu has 2 companies on file and $2.16M 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 27 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 27 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 4 public filings for Mark Tanner and found 10 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: 38% of the money raised went to insiders; Form D filed 149 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.

10 differences found between the filings for Mark Tanner — 3 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 8, 2010

38% of the money raised went to insiders — OPTIMA NEUROSCIENCE INC

The Jul 8, 2010 Form D/A reports $265,299 sold and $100,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "Possibly to be used for executive management salaries".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

OPTIMA NEUROSCIENCE INC (last filing Jul 8, 2010; $265,299 sold of $592,800). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Form D filed 149 days after the first sale — BluAzu, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 19, 2015. The Form D was filed Jun 17, 2015 — 149 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 134 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 Jun 17, 2015 (first sale Jan 19, 2015). It reports $165,000 sold of $500,000 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 this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Note · Jun 17, 2015 – Jan 4, 2017

Mark Tanner's role changed at BluAzu, LLC: director → executive officer, director

The Jun 17, 2015 filing lists Mark Tanner as director; the Jan 4, 2017 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Same name, different state: "Mark Richard Tanner" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is FL. A separate record, "Mark Richard Tanner" with address state TX, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Smartfield, Inc. (Mar 16, 2010). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jul 8, 2010 to Sep 6, 2017; the other has one filing dated Mar 16, 2010.

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

0 of 3 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $100,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Sep 6, 2017 D/A BluAzu, LLC File 021-277602	$0	$0	$0 Proceeds will be used for working capital which will include normal compensation to executive officers/managers.	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

How this is counted

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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

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. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). 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).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 2 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Mark Tanner by design.
