The short version

Patrick O'Brien is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2013 and Oct 2017: PATINA SOLUTIONS GROUP INC (Brookfield, WI — industry reported as "Other" — 2013–2017; $2.13M reported sold to 57 investors) and Bad Donkey Social Co (Madison, WI — other technology — 2016; $610K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.74M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brian Kibby (3 shared filings), Jennifer W Christensen (3 shared filings), Mike Harris (3 shared filings), Bill Filip (2 shared filings), Arthur Petrie (1 shared filing) and 8 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 4 public filings for Patrick O'Brien and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 136 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 Patrick O'Brien — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 19, 2017 – Oct 2, 2017

Form D filed 136 days after the first sale — PATINA SOLUTIONS GROUP INC

The filing says the first sale was May 19, 2017. The Form D was filed Oct 2, 2017 — 136 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 121 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.

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.
