The short version

Samit Varma is listed as an executive officer and director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Mar 2009 and Nov 2020: Quid Capital Fund, LLC (Santa Monica, CA — pooled investment fund — 2020; $321.9M reported sold to 23 investors), BeachMint, Inc. (Santa Monica, CA — other technology — 2011; $36.2M reported sold to 14 investors), ADVENTURELINK INC (Altadena, CA — tourism and travel services — 2009–2010; $3.97M reported sold to 19 investors) and Pizza Studio Holding Co LLC (Calabasas, CA — restaurants — 2012–2014; $2M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $364M sold in total.

Listed alongside Michael Culhane (4 shared filings), Paul Bricault (4 shared filings), Peter Bodine (4 shared filings), Richard Bangs (4 shared filings), D. Kelly Tompkins (3 shared filings) and 11 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Quid (6 issuers, $405.3M reported sold, 2020–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Quid has 6 companies on file and $405.3M 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) — 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 8 public filings for Samit Varma and found 13 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count 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.

13 differences found between the filings for Samit Varma — 3 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Amount sold went down between filings — ADVENTURELINK INC

The Jun 25, 2009 filing says $2,425,000 sold; the Mar 10, 2010 Form D says $1,294,880 sold — $1,130,120 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Investor count went down between filings — ADVENTURELINK INC

The Mar 25, 2009 filing reports 19 investors; the Jun 25, 2009 Form D/A reports 11 investors.

Sources
Note · Nov 23, 2010 – Jan 5, 2011

Form D filed 43 days after the first sale — BeachMint, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 23, 2010. The Form D was filed Jan 5, 2011 — 43 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 28 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.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 22, 2010. The Form D was filed Mar 10, 2010 — 47 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 32 days past that.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 6, 2009. The Form D was filed Mar 25, 2009 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 days past that.

Offering amount lowered between filings — ADVENTURELINK INC

The Jun 25, 2009 filing says $3,175,000 offered; the Mar 10, 2010 Form D says $1,295,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Dec 6, 2012 – Dec 17, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Pizza Studio Holding Co LLC (latest filing Dec 17, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 17, 2012 (first sale Dec 6, 2012). It reports $200,000 sold of $3,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Note · Dec 10, 2010 – Jan 10, 2013

Same name, different state: "Samit Varma" (OR) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Samit Varma" with address state OR, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Janrain, Inc. (Jan 10, 2013). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 10, 2010 to Jan 10, 2013).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Dec 17, 2012 – Feb 26, 2014

Address moved from Los Angeles, CA to Calabasas, CA — Pizza Studio Holding Co LLC

The people listed on the Dec 17, 2012 filing give Los Angeles, CA; on the Feb 26, 2014 filing they give Calabasas, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

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.

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).
