The short version

Matthew Randall is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2016 and May 2017: NLIGHT, INC. (Vancouver, WA — other technology — 2016–2017; $35.8M reported sold to 21 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 Bandel Carano (2 shared filings), David D. Osborne (2 shared filings), Doug Carlisle (2 shared filings), Eric DeMarco (2 shared filings), Geoffrey Moore (2 shared filings) and 9 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

What this means 6 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.

What the community is saying

Nothing found on Reddit, BiggerPockets or community forums for high-net-worth investors (searched Oct 24, 2026) — search queued; this line updates when it has run.

Community comments are quoted as written by their authors. Sources searched: BiggerPockets forums (via DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing and BiggerPockets search) and Reddit (search feed + public archive).

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).
