The short version

Robert Pollan is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Aug 2009 and Jun 2024: CAPITAL GROWTH SYSTEMS INC /FL/ (Chicago, IL — other technology — 2009; $5.41M reported sold to 26 investors), CAPITAL GROWTH SYSTEMS INC (Chicago, IL — other technology — 2009; $5.41M reported sold to 26 investors) and AFFLUENCE Corp (Oak Brook, IL — industry reported as "Other" — 2024).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 15 years. Across those companies the filings report $10.8M sold in total.

Listed alongside Patrick C. Shutt (3 shared filings), Charles Wright (2 shared filings), Christopher Hoyle (2 shared filings), George A. King (2 shared filings), Jeremy Cooke (2 shared filings) and 9 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) — 9 court cases matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 3 public filings for Robert Pollan and found 4 differences: Robert Pollan appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; Form D filed 17 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

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

Note · Jun 3, 2024

Robert Pollan appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

AFFLUENCE Corp (last filing Jun 3, 2024; $0 sold of $22,000,000). 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 · Jul 31, 2009 – Aug 17, 2009

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — CAPITAL GROWTH SYSTEMS INC /FL/

The filing says the first sale was Jul 31, 2009. The Form D was filed Aug 17, 2009 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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 · Jul 31, 2009 – Aug 17, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CAPITAL GROWTH SYSTEMS INC /FL/ (latest filing Aug 17, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 17, 2009 (first sale Jul 31, 2009). It reports $5,407,248 sold of $8,500,000 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.

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

1 of 3 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $1,320,000; 2 report finder's fees totalling $210,070; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
