The short version

Steve Lefar is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2020 and Sep 2023: Third Eye Health, Inc. (Chicago, IL — other health care — 2023; $7.25M reported sold to 30 investors) and Emerging Therapy Solutions, Inc. (Bloomington, MN — other health care — 2020–2021; $6M reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $13.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside David McLean (3 shared filings), J. Matthew Mackowski (3 shared filings), Jeanette Welsh (3 shared filings), Kevin Roche (3 shared filings), Ravi Nalliah (3 shared filings) and 7 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, 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) — 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 4 public filings for Steve Lefar and found 2 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Steve Lefar" (MD) is a separate record.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Steve Lefar (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 1, 2021 – Jun 7, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Emerging Therapy Solutions, Inc. (latest filing Jun 7, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 7, 2021 (first sale Jun 1, 2021). It reports $6,004,725 sold of an indefinite amount 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 · Feb 10, 2021

Same name, different state: "Steve Lefar" (MD) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is IL. A separate record, "Steve Lefar" with address state MD, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Insightin Health Inc (Feb 10, 2021). Both records have filings in the same period (Feb 10, 2021).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. 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.

5. Money to insiders

"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.
