The short version

Ryan Jacobs is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2016 and Jun 2018: CloudSpotter Technologies Inc. (Highland Park, IL — other technology — 2016–2018; $360K reported sold to 14 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.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 7 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 7 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.

What the community is saying

Nothing found on Reddit, BiggerPockets or community forums for high-net-worth investors (searched Oct 24, 2026) — search queued; this line updates when it has run.

Community comments are quoted as written by their authors. Sources searched: BiggerPockets forums (via DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing and BiggerPockets search) and Reddit (search feed + public archive).

"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.
