The short version

Ron Smith is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2026 and May 2026: Big Watt Digital LLC (Newark, DE — industry reported as "Other" — 2026; $306.6M reported sold to 26 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2026. 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 Alex Hern (4 shared filings), Daniel Najor (4 shared filings), David Schuil (4 shared filings), Frank Albo (4 shared filings), Jeremy Nichele (4 shared filings) and 3 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Ron. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Realstir (2 issuers, $31.7M reported sold, 2014–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Realstir has 2 companies on file and $31.7M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 4 court cases matching the name, 36 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 40 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 Ron Smith and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down 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.

7 differences found between the filings for Ron Smith — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 2, 2026

Amount sold went down between filings — Big Watt Digital LLC

Same name, different state: "Ron Smith" (A6) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is AR or AZ. A separate record, "Ron Smith" with address state A6, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Covalon Technologies Ltd. (Sep 27, 2019). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 2, 2026 to May 1, 2026; the other has one filing dated Sep 27, 2019.

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.

Same name, different state: "Ron Smith" (MD) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is AR or AZ. A separate record, "Ron Smith" with address state MD, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Syncurity Corp (Oct 17, 2018). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 2, 2026 to May 1, 2026; the other has one filing dated Oct 17, 2018.

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.

Ron Smith is listed with 2 different address states: AZ, AR

AZ on 2 filings (Jan 15, 2026 to Mar 2, 2026); AR on 2 filings (Mar 2, 2026 to May 1, 2026).

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.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $600,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
May 1, 2026 D/A Big Watt Digital LLC File 021-570181	$0	$0	$600,000 (est.) At least $600,000 estimated to be spent on salaries and emoluments; rest of the amount for General Corporate Purposes	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

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).

Every row is a Form D or D/A on which the issuer listed this name as a related person. Amount sold and investors are the maximum reported on any filing for this issuer. "Similar" = offerings in the same industry claiming the same exemption, filed in the last 5 years: Other / 506(b) (18,678 filings); ranges are the middle half (25th–75th percentile). Computed by PartnerFacts from SEC EDGAR Form D data as of Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET. Rows without a range: fewer than 30 comparable filings, or not a Rule 506 offering. No ranking or score.

Registrations and other filings

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.
