The short version

Stuart Paterson is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2012 and Aug 2021: PICOCHIP INC (Bath, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — computers — 2012; $27M reported sold to 24 investors), SEP V LP (Glasgow, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — pooled investment fund — 2016; $7.27M reported sold to 1 investors) and SEP VI LP (Glasgow, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — pooled investment fund — 2021).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $34.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Christopher Spray (6 shared filings), Dr. Douglas Pulley (6 shared filings), Iain Silvester (6 shared filings), James Urquhart (6 shared filings), Laurence Garrett (6 shared filings) and 12 others.

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

2 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Sep (2 issuers, $7.27M reported sold, 2016–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Sep has 2 companies on file and $7.27M 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 (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 8 public filings for Stuart Paterson and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 6 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

4 differences found between the filings for Stuart Paterson — 1 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 15, 2006 – Jan 26, 2012

6 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 184 days after the first sale — PICOCHIP INC · Form D filed 301 days after the first sale — PICOCHIP INC · Form D filed 447 days after the first sale — PICOCHIP INC · Form D filed 590 days after the first sale — PICOCHIP INC · Form D filed 1,868 days after the first sale — PICOCHIP INC · and 1 more

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

Sources
Note · Jun 7, 2016 – Jun 16, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SEP V LP (latest filing Jun 16, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 16, 2016 (first sale Jun 7, 2016). It reports $7,270,000 sold of $93,201,400 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.

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).
