The short version

Paul Lichty is listed as an executive officer and director on 9 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Oct 2017 and Jan 2024: FORGE NANO, INC. (Thornton, CO — other technology — 2017–2024; $44.2M reported sold to 33 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 James Trevey (7 shared filings), Michael Danner (7 shared filings), Jack McFarland (6 shared filings), David King (4 shared filings), Dennis Townsend (4 shared filings) and 10 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Paul. 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) — 5 court cases matching the name, 3 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 9 public filings for Paul Lichty and found 4 differences: 4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale; 5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Paul Lichty (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 29, 2017 – Jan 5, 2023

4 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — FORGE NANO, INC. · Form D filed 55 days after the first sale — FORGE NANO, INC. · Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — FORGE NANO, INC. · Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — FORGE NANO, INC.

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

Sources
Note · Sep 29, 2017 – Jan 3, 2024

5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FORGE NANO, INC. (latest filing Jan 3, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FORGE NANO, INC. (latest filing Mar 28, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FORGE NANO, INC. (latest filing Jun 21, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FORGE NANO, INC. (latest filing Jan 7, 2019) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FORGE NANO, INC. (latest filing Oct 24, 2017)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Oct 20, 2017 – Jun 21, 2021

Industry group changed between filings — FORGE NANO, INC.

"Manufacturing" (Oct 20, 2017 to Jan 7, 2019); then "Other Technology" (Jun 21, 2021 to Jan 3, 2024).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Jan 7, 2019 – Jun 21, 2021

Address moved from Louisville, CO to Thornton, CO — FORGE NANO, INC.

The people listed on the Jan 7, 2019 filing give Louisville, CO; on the Jun 21, 2021 filing they give Thornton, CO.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
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.

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).

Deals 1

Every issuer that named Paul Lichty on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 1 issuer 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.
