The short version

Ross Brown is listed as an executive officer and director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 10 issuers between Sep 2014 and Oct 2026. Largest by amount reported sold: Align Debt Fund V, LP (Austin, TX — pooled investment fund — 2017; $16.7M reported sold to 44 investors), Align Seawolf Vehicle, LP (Austin, TX — pooled investment fund — 2018; $11.2M reported sold to 26 investors), Cielo Gravitant Investors, L.P.

(Austin, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2014; $1.89M reported sold to 12 investors) and 5 more (all listed below).

What this means That is a lot of deals — 10 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 12 years. Across those companies the filings report $46.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside Lisa Harris (8 shared filings), William G. Hall (6 shared filings), Daniel E. Urbina (2 shared filings), ELIAS F URBINA (2 shared filings), Patrick J. Starley (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 Ross. Each name links to their own page.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Align Enterprise (9 issuers, $37.6M reported sold, 2017–2024) and Cielo (26 issuers, $179.4M reported sold, 2009–2020).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 23 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

What this means 23 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.

"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.
