The short version

Seth Farbman is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in May 2019: Dashlane, Inc. (New York, NY — industry reported as "Other" — 2019; $85M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed May 2019. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside ALEX R. FERRARA (1 shared filing), Bernard Liautaud (1 shared filing), David Lapter (1 shared filing), Davison Paull (1 shared filing), Emmanuel Schalit (1 shared filing) and 4 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 13 court cases matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

No differences found between the public filings we have for Seth Farbman (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026).

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.
