The short version

Robert A. Berman is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2019 and Aug 2020: Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. (Irvine, CA — biotechnology — 2019–2020; $2.7M reported sold to 105 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 Sanjay Shrivastava (4 shared filings), Francis Duhay (3 shared filings), Marc H. Glickman, M.D. (3 shared filings), Robert Rankin (3 shared filings), Matthew M. Jenusaitis (2 shared filings) and 5 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Robert. 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 Robert A. Berman and found 7 differences: Robert A. Berman appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; CRD number for NETWORK 1 FINANCIAL SECURITIES, INC. appears on one filing and not another; 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

7 differences found between the filings for Robert A. Berman (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 4, 2020

Robert A. Berman appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. (last filing Aug 4, 2020; $2,704,000 sold of $7,500,000). 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.

Sources
Note · Apr 16, 2019 – May 3, 2019

CRD number for NETWORK 1 FINANCIAL SECURITIES, INC. appears on one filing and not another — Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc.

The May 3, 2019 filing lists NETWORK 1 FINANCIAL SECURITIES, INC. with CRD 13577; the Apr 16, 2019 Form D lists the same name with no CRD number.

What this means A CRD number is how you look a seller up on FINRA BrokerCheck. Missing it on a later form is usually a paperwork slip — use the number from the earlier form to check them.

Sources
Note · Mar 12, 2019 – Apr 16, 2019

Form D filed 35 days after the first sale — Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 12, 2019. The Form D was filed Apr 16, 2019 — 35 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 20 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.

Sources
Note · Feb 25, 2020 – Mar 10, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. (latest filing Mar 10, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 10, 2020 (first sale Feb 25, 2020). It reports $650,000 sold of $890,000 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.

Sources
Note · Apr 16, 2019 – Aug 4, 2020

Robert A. Berman is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Robert A. Berman" on 3 filings (from Apr 16, 2019), and "Robert Andrew Berman" on the Aug 4, 2020 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Feb 4, 2013 – Mar 31, 2026

Same name, different state: "Robert Berman" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Robert Berman" with address state NY, is listed on 10 filings — most recently by Gilgamesh Pharma Inc. (Mar 31, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Apr 16, 2019 to Aug 4, 2020).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Feb 28, 2022

Same name, different state: "Robert Berman" (CT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Robert Berman" with address state CT, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Osmol Therapeutics, Inc. (Feb 28, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Apr 16, 2019 to Aug 4, 2020; the other has one filing dated Feb 28, 2022.

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.

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).
