The short version

Thomas Burke is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2017 and Mar 2025: VAIL SCIENTIFIC, INC. (Bloomington, MN — biotechnology — 2023–2025; $7M reported sold to 13 investors) and HENNEPIN LIFE SCIENCES, LLC (Plymouth, MN — biotechnology — 2017; $1.85M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $8.85M sold in total.

Listed alongside Carter R Anderson (2 shared filings), Clayton J Anderson (2 shared filings), Curtis R Carlson (2 shared filings), Michael Nathan (2 shared filings), Douglas Wicks (1 shared filing) and 8 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Thomas. 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 3 public filings for Thomas Burke and found 11 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 81 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

11 differences found between the filings for Thomas Burke — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Dec 2, 2016 – Feb 21, 2017

Form D filed 81 days after the first sale — HENNEPIN LIFE SCIENCES, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Dec 2, 2016. The Form D was filed Feb 21, 2017 — 81 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 66 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.

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).
