The short version

Syed Ali is listed as an executive officer and director on 14 SEC Form D filings by 10 issuers between Dec 2009 and May 2023. Largest by amount reported sold: Alif Semiconductor, Inc. (Pleasanton, CA — other technology — 2019–2022; $113.4M reported sold to 24 investors), Retym, Inc. (Cupertino, CA — other technology — 2023; $40.4M reported sold to 19 investors), CAVIUM NETWORKS, INC. (Mountain View, CA — other technology — 2009–2011; $35M reported sold to 32 investors), Series 2, a Series of Alif Capital, LLC (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2021; $13.7M reported sold to 11 investors), Fund A, a Series of Alif Capital, LLC (San Francisco, CA — pooled investment fund — 2021; $4.34M reported sold to 11 investors) and 5 more (all listed below).

What this means That is a lot of deals — 10 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 14 years. Across those companies the filings report $212.8M sold in total.

Listed alongside Assure Fund Management II LLC (8 shared filings, management entity), Richard Thoms (8 shared filings), Mamoon Hamid (3 shared filings), Anil Jain (2 shared filings), Anthony Pantuso (2 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 Syed. Each name links to their own page.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Assure (7 issuers, $24M reported sold, 2020–2022) and Cavium (4 issuers, $39.1M reported sold, 2009–2023).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

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) — 1 court case matching the name, 12 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 Syed Ali and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action naming a team member: Kris Chellam (Jan 10, 2013); 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 Syed Ali — 1 worth asking about (compared 14 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 10, 2013

Regulator action naming a team member: Kris Chellam (Jan 10, 2013)

A ap release dated Jan 10, 2013 names Kris Chellam (listed on the same filings). Our match estimate: 80%. 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.

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.

Form D filed 50 days after the first sale — Alif Semiconductor, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 28, 2019. The Form D was filed Apr 19, 2019 — 50 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 35 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.

(latest filing Dec 4, 2019) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CAVIUM NETWORKS, INC. (latest filing Dec 22, 2009)

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

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

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).

Deals 10

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

Same business address

8 other issuers file from the same address

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 10 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 Syed Ali 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 10 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.

Public profiles and social

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