The short version

Sam Wu is listed as a director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2011 and Sep 2015: APPLIED GENETIC TECHNOLOGIES CORP (Alachua, FL — biotechnology — 2012; $33.5M reported sold to 11 investors) and VAXINNATE CORP (Cranbury, NJ — biotechnology — 2011–2015; $24.8M reported sold to 14 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $58.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Augustine Lawlor (5 shared filings), David Williams (5 shared filings), Philippe Chambon (4 shared filings), Seth Rudnick (4 shared filings), Alan R. Shaw (3 shared filings) and 14 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Sam. 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) — 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 6 public filings for Sam Wu and found 8 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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.

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.
