The short version

Robert Collins is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Sep 2021 and Apr 2024: Zing America, Inc. (Mclean, VA — other banking and financial services — 2021–2024; $17.4M reported sold to 40 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 Christian Bermann (1 shared filing).

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) — 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 3 public filings for Robert Collins and found 12 differences: Form D filed 19 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that 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

12 differences found between the filings for Robert Collins (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 3, 2021 – Sep 22, 2021

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — Zing America, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 3, 2021. The Form D was filed Sep 22, 2021 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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.

Note · Apr 4, 2024 – Apr 16, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Zing America, Inc. (latest filing Apr 16, 2024)

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.

Robert Collins is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Robert W. Collins" on the Sep 22, 2021 filing, and "Robert Collins" on 2 filings (from Dec 13, 2022).

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.

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.

Address moved from Washington, DC to Mclean, VA — Zing America, Inc.

The people listed on the Sep 22, 2021 filing give Washington, DC; on the Dec 13, 2022 filing they give Mclean, VA.

Robert Collins is listed with 2 different address states: DC, VA

DC on 1 filing (Sep 22, 2021); VA on 2 filings (Dec 13, 2022 to Apr 16, 2024).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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.
