The short version

Ross Goolsby is listed as an executive officer on 16 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Aug 2011 and Jun 2018: Ambiq Micro, Inc. (Austin, TX — other technology — 2015–2018; $127.3M reported sold to 64 investors) and Calxeda, Inc. (Austin, TX — other technology — 2011–2012; $55M reported sold to 16 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $182.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside Edward B. Hill (12 shared filings), Scott Hanson (12 shared filings), Wen Hsieh (12 shared filings), Clark Jernigan (11 shared filings), Fumihide Esaka (11 shared filings) and 15 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.

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 16 public filings for Ross Goolsby and found 7 differences, 5 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 64 days after the first sale; Form D filed 461 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

7 differences found between the filings for Ross Goolsby — 5 worth asking about (compared 16 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 7, 2016 – Aug 10, 2016

Form D filed 64 days after the first sale — Ambiq Micro, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 7, 2016. The Form D was filed Aug 10, 2016 — 64 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 49 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
Worth asking · May 7, 2015 – Aug 10, 2016

Form D filed 461 days after the first sale — Ambiq Micro, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 7, 2015. The Form D was filed Aug 10, 2016 — 461 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 446 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · Jun 3, 2013 – Aug 10, 2016

Form D filed 1,164 days after the first sale — Ambiq Micro, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 3, 2013. The Form D was filed Aug 10, 2016 — 1,164 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1,149 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · Jan 26, 2018 – Jan 28, 2019

Ross Goolsby is no longer listed on the Jan 28, 2019 amendment — Ambiq Micro, Inc.

Ross Goolsby appears on the Jan 26, 2018 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Jan 28, 2019 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Offering amount changed between filings — Ambiq Micro, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — Ambiq Micro, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — Ambiq Micro, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — Calxeda, Inc.

Note · Jul 29, 2011 – Jul 13, 2017

5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ambiq Micro, Inc. (latest filing Jul 13, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ambiq Micro, Inc. (latest filing Dec 22, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Ambiq Micro, Inc. (latest filing Aug 10, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Calxeda, Inc. (latest filing Jul 18, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Calxeda, Inc. (latest filing May 14, 2012)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
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.

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.
