The short version

Vu Lam is listed as an executive officer and director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jan 2015 and Jun 2021: Katalon, Inc. (Atlanta, GA — industry reported as "Other" — 2020–2021; $27.6M reported sold to 18 investors), Kobiton, Inc. (Atlanta, GA — other technology — 2019–2020; $14M reported sold to 13 investors) and QASymphony, Inc. (Atlanta, GA — other technology — 2015–2016; $5.04M reported sold to 16 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $46.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Josh Lieberman (5 shared filings), Brian Cohen (3 shared filings), David Keil (3 shared filings), Jordan Rackie (3 shared filings), Ken Walters (3 shared filings) and 10 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 8 public filings for Vu Lam and found 2 differences: 5 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open; Same name, different state: "Vu Lam" (CA) is a separate record.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Vu Lam (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 30, 2014 – Jun 30, 2021

5 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 — Katalon, Inc. (latest filing Jun 30, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Kobiton, Inc. (latest filing Nov 6, 2020) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — QASymphony, Inc. (latest filing Jul 15, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — QASymphony, Inc. (latest filing Jan 22, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — QASymphony, Inc. (latest filing Jan 13, 2015)

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

Note · Sep 24, 2018

Same name, different state: "Vu Lam" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is GA. A separate record, "Vu Lam" with address state CA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Kobiton, Inc. (Sep 24, 2018). Both records have filings in the same period (Sep 24, 2018).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. 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.

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.
