The short version

Sean Kell is listed as an executive officer and director on 5 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Feb 2017 and Apr 2022: Apex Parent Holdings, Inc. (Seattle, WA — industry reported as "Other" — 2017; $46.8M reported sold to 18 investors), EMULATE THERAPEUTICS, INC. (Seattle, WA — biotechnology — 2017; $11.5M reported sold to 49 investors) and Porch Group, Inc. (Seattle, WA — industry reported as "Other" — 2022; $4M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $62.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside Bennett M Butters (3 shared filings), CHARLES MCNERNEY (3 shared filings), Chris Rivera (3 shared filings), Clark W Donnell (3 shared filings), DANIEL KISNER (3 shared filings) and 21 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Porch (2 issuers, $24.6M reported sold, 2013–2022).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Porch has 2 companies on file and $24.6M 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 5 public filings for Sean Kell and found 5 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Sean Kell is no longer listed on the Nov 19, 2018 amendment; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Sean Kell — 1 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 20, 2017 – Nov 19, 2018

Sean Kell is no longer listed on the Nov 19, 2018 amendment — EMULATE THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Sean Kell appears on the Nov 20, 2017 Form D (director) but not on the Nov 19, 2018 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 6, 2017 – Dec 15, 2017

Form D filed 39 days after the first sale — Apex Parent Holdings, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 6, 2017. The Form D was filed Dec 15, 2017 — 39 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 24 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
Note · May 5, 2017 – May 19, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — EMULATE THERAPEUTICS, INC. (latest filing May 19, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 19, 2017 (first sale May 5, 2017). It reports $210,000 sold of $5,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 14, 2015 – Feb 23, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — EMULATE THERAPEUTICS, INC. (latest filing Feb 23, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 23, 2017 (first sale Dec 14, 2015). It reports $9,618,795 sold of $50,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Apr 12, 2012 – Oct 16, 2014

Same name, different state: "Sean Kell" (MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is WA. A separate record, "Sean Kell" with address state MA, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by Nara Logics, Inc. (Oct 16, 2014). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Feb 23, 2017 to Apr 15, 2022; the other runs Apr 12, 2012 to Oct 16, 2014.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 3 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Sean Kell by design.
