The short version

Soyoung Lee is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2022 and Jun 2024: Twelve Labs, Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2022–2024; $50M reported sold to 17 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.

Listed alongside Dong Shin Kim (3 shared filings), Jae Sung Lee (3 shared filings), Jin Woo Chung (3 shared filings), Rob Toews (3 shared filings), Seung Joon Lee (3 shared filings) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Soyoung. 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 3 public filings for Soyoung Lee and found 5 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 144 days after the first sale; Form D filed 111 days after the first sale; 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 Soyoung Lee — 2 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 20, 2023 – Dec 11, 2023

Form D filed 144 days after the first sale — Twelve Labs, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 20, 2023. The Form D was filed Dec 11, 2023 — 144 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 129 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.

Note · Apr 29, 2024 – Jun 12, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Twelve Labs, Inc. (latest filing Jun 12, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 12, 2024 (first sale Apr 29, 2024). It reports $49,999,678 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.

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.
