The short version

Robert Bearden is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Aug 2010 and Jan 2012: Chain Reaction Ecommerce, Inc (Atlanta, GA — industry reported as "Other" — 2010–2012; $1.75M reported sold to 10 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 Gardiner W. Garrard III (2 shared filings), Salvatore F Iozzia (2 shared filings), Sean Banks (2 shared filings), Gregory P. McGraw (1 shared filing), Kevin R Lee (1 shared filing) and 1 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 15 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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 2 public filings for Robert Bearden and found 4 differences: Form D filed 54 days after the first sale; Industry group changed between filings; 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 Robert Bearden (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Nov 30, 2011 – Jan 23, 2012

Form D filed 54 days after the first sale — Chain Reaction Ecommerce, Inc

The filing says the first sale was Nov 30, 2011. The Form D was filed Jan 23, 2012 — 54 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 39 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 · Aug 10, 2010 – Jan 23, 2012

Industry group changed between filings — Chain Reaction Ecommerce, Inc

"Other Technology" (Aug 10, 2010); then "Other" (Jan 23, 2012).

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 · Mar 29, 2010 – Oct 20, 2011

Same name, different state: "Robert Bearden" (FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is GA. A separate record, "Robert Bearden" with address state FL, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Pentaho Corp (Oct 20, 2011). Both records have filings in the same period (Aug 10, 2010 to Oct 20, 2011).

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.

This page covers filings where the address state is GA. A separate record, "Robert Bearden" with address state MA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by EnterpriseDB Corp (Feb 4, 2011). Both records have filings in the same period (Aug 10, 2010 to Feb 4, 2011).

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

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders
