The short version

Steve Herrod is listed as a director on 14 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Sep 2013 and Oct 2021. Largest by amount reported sold: Illumio, Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA — other technology — 2013–2021; $225M reported sold to 31 investors), SignalFx, Inc. (San Mateo, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2018–2019; $75M reported sold to 11 investors), Anomali Inc (Redwood City, CA — other technology — 2018; $40M reported sold to 12 investors), Arrcus Inc. (San Jose, CA — other technology — 2021; $28.4M reported sold to 14 investors), Preempt Security, Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2016–2018; $11.5M reported sold to 14 investors) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $385.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Andrew E. Rubin (6 shared filings), John M. Jack (6 shared filings), Paul J. Kirner (4 shared filings), Alan Cohen (3 shared filings), Ajit Sancheti (2 shared filings) and 26 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.

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) — 7 court cases matching the name, 15 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 14 public filings for Steve Herrod and found 6 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action naming a team member: John James Sheehan, Jr. (Jan 10, 2020); 5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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

6 differences found between the filings for Steve Herrod — 2 worth asking about (compared 14 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 10, 2020

Regulator action naming a team member: John James Sheehan, Jr. (Jan 10, 2020)

A ap release dated Jan 10, 2020 names John Sheehan (listed on the same filings). Our match estimate: 70%. The release is the source; we do not summarize its outcome here.

What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Phillip Liu" filed Mar 30, 2012, closed Jul 5, 2012. Phillip Liu (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Phillip Liu"). 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.

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Preempt Security, Inc. (latest filing Feb 21, 2018)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 21, 2018 (first sale Feb 6, 2018). It reports $11,500,001 sold of $16,000,001 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 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.

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 6

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

The team behind the deals

Same business address

5 other issuers file from the same address

Lumina Networks, Inc. San Jose, CA · 2018
Kukui Corp San Jose, CA · 2018
INTERNMATCH, INC. San Francisco, CA · 2010
ATRENTA INC San Jose, CA · 2012
Doximity, Inc. San Mateo, CA · 2011

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

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 6 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 Herrod 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 6 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.

Public profiles and social

Websites and social links of the issuers Steve Herrod is listed on: none on file. No website or social profile named in SignalFx, Inc.'s SEC filings (Form C, Reg A, Form ADV; checked Oct 24, 2026).
