The short version

Steven P. Denbaars is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 17 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between Jul 2009 and May 2026: SORAA INC (Fremont, CA — other technology — 2011; $88.6M reported sold to 7 investors), Palomino Laboratories Inc. (Goleta, CA — other technology — 2025–2026; $17M reported sold to 116 investors), Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (Huntersville, NC — other technology — 2015–2018; $15M reported sold to 92 investors), Aeluma, Inc. (Goleta, CA — other technology — 2022–2024; $8M reported sold to 77 investors) and KAAI INC (Goleta, CA — other technology — 2009; $3.5M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 17 years. Across those companies the filings report $132.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Jeffrey B. Shealy (12 shared filings), Arthur E. Geiss (10 shared filings), Jeffrey K. McMahon (10 shared filings), Jerry D. Neal (10 shared filings), David M. Aichele (9 shared filings) and 24 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Steven. 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) — 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 17 public filings for Steven P. Denbaars and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 572 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

10 differences found between the filings for Steven P. Denbaars — 1 worth asking about (compared 17 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 5, 2010 – Nov 28, 2011

Form D filed 572 days after the first sale — SORAA INC

The filing says the first sale was May 5, 2010. The Form D was filed Nov 28, 2011 — 572 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 557 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jun 26, 2009 – Jul 13, 2009

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — KAAI INC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 26, 2009. The Form D was filed Jul 13, 2009 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.

Sources
Note · Oct 14, 2025 – May 1, 2026

Steven P. Denbaars's role changed at Palomino Laboratories Inc.: executive officer, director, promoter → director, promoter

The Oct 14, 2025 filing lists Steven P. Denbaars as executive officer, director, promoter; the May 1, 2026 Form D lists director, promoter.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Nov 29, 2017 – Dec 15, 2017

Offering amount lowered between filings — Akoustis Technologies, Inc.

The Nov 29, 2017 filing says $15,000,000 offered; the Dec 15, 2017 Form D/A says $14,524,504.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · May 5, 2010 – Oct 14, 2025

8 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 — Palomino Laboratories Inc. (latest filing Oct 14, 2025) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Aeluma, Inc. (latest filing Aug 30, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Aeluma, Inc. (latest filing Dec 27, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (latest filing May 17, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (latest filing Jan 26, 2017) · and 3 more

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

Sources
Note · Jul 13, 2009 – Jun 5, 2015

Steven P. Denbaars is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Steven DenBaars" on 5 filings (from Jul 13, 2009), and "Steven P. Denbaars" on 12 filings (from Jun 5, 2015).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Jul 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2024

Same name, different state: "Steven DenBaars" (X0) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or NC. A separate record, "Steven DenBaars" with address state X0, is listed on 6 filings — most recently by SmartKem, Inc. (Dec 31, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 5, 2015 to May 25, 2018; the other runs Jul 1, 2022 to Dec 31, 2024.

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.

Sources
Note · Oct 14, 2025 – May 1, 2026

Address moved from Palo Alto, CA to Goleta, CA — Palomino Laboratories Inc.

The people listed on the Oct 14, 2025 filing give Palo Alto, CA; on the May 1, 2026 filing they give Goleta, CA.

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.

Sources
Note · Jul 13, 2009 – May 1, 2026

Steven P. Denbaars is listed with 2 different address states: CA, NC

CA on 7 filings (Jul 13, 2009 to May 1, 2026); NC on 10 filings (Jun 5, 2015 to May 25, 2018).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

Sources
Note · Jun 5, 2015 – Mar 25, 2016

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Akoustis Technologies, Inc.

"No Revenues" (Jun 5, 2015); then "Decline to Disclose" (Mar 25, 2016).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
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.

8 of 13 offerings report sales commissions totalling $7,999,066; 0 report finder's fees; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

How this is counted

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 5

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