The short version

Steve Cooper is listed as an executive officer and director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jun 2011 and Jun 2015: OpenLight Photonics, Inc. (Goleta, CA — other technology — 2011–2014; $11.5M reported sold to 11 investors), AgentBridge, LLC (Rolling Hills Estates, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2014–2015; $550K reported sold to 1 investors) and Built On Logic, Inc. (Santa Barbara, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2011; $350K reported sold to 13 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $12.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Alexander Fang (4 shared filings), Daniel P. Burnham (4 shared filings), John Bowers (4 shared filings), Greg Fish (3 shared filings), Milton Chang (3 shared filings) and 6 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Agentbridge (2 issuers, $648K reported sold, 2014–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Agentbridge has 2 companies on file and $648K 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 22 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 22 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 7 public filings for Steve Cooper and found 6 differences: Bankruptcy case: Greg A Fish and Lindsey P Fish; Steve Cooper appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target; 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

6 differences found between the filings for Steve Cooper (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 23, 2017 – Sep 14, 2020

Bankruptcy case: Greg A Fish and Lindsey P Fish — filed Mar 23, 2017

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. California docket "Greg A Fish and Lindsey P Fish" filed Mar 23, 2017, closed Sep 14, 2020. Greg Fish (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Greg A Fish and Lindsey P Fish"). Our match estimate: 70%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Steve Cooper appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Built On Logic, Inc. (last filing Dec 16, 2011; $349,754 sold of $750,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Built On Logic, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 30, 2011. The Form D was filed Dec 16, 2011 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — AgentBridge, LLC (latest filing Jun 22, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — OpenLight Photonics, Inc.

(latest filing Oct 9, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Built On Logic, Inc. (latest filing Dec 16, 2011)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Same name, different state: "Steve Cooper" (TN) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Steve Cooper" with address state TN, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Artist Growth, Inc. (Jun 26, 2023). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 10, 2011 to Jun 22, 2015; the other has one filing dated Jun 26, 2023.

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.

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.

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).

Deals 3

Every issuer that named Steve Cooper on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

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 Steve Cooper by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 3 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
