The short version

Tom Patterson is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Dec 2009 and Sep 2014: Progress Financial Corp (Menlo Park, CA — other banking and financial services — 2009–2010; $27.8M reported sold to 14 investors) and Trumpet Search, LLC (Lakewood, CO — other health care — 2010–2014; $10M reported sold to 22 investors).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Tom. 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) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 4 public filings for Tom Patterson and found 4 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 Tom Patterson (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 9, 2009 – Mar 8, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — Progress Financial Corp

The Dec 9, 2009 filing says $23,000,000 offered; the Mar 8, 2010 Form D/A says $29,961,735.

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.

Sources
Note · Sep 5, 2014 – Sep 15, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Trumpet Search, LLC (latest filing Sep 15, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 15, 2014 (first sale Sep 5, 2014). It reports $10,000,154 sold of $10,519,166 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 · Nov 24, 2009 – Mar 8, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Progress Financial Corp (latest filing Mar 8, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 8, 2010 (first sale Nov 24, 2009). It reports $27,799,548 sold of $29,961,735 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 · Apr 7, 2017 – Jan 25, 2019

Same name, different state: "Tom Patterson" (E9) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Tom Patterson" with address state E9, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by DRCONSULTA LTD. (Jan 25, 2019). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Dec 9, 2009 to Sep 15, 2014; the other runs Apr 7, 2017 to Jan 25, 2019.

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.

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

0 of 3 offerings report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $4,500,000. (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).
