Welcome back to The Startup File. For those who missed the first installment, let me explain the framework of this new column. Every day, GeekWire combs the SEC filings to find out what’s new in Seattle’s burgeoning startup scene.

Oftentimes, these filings, form Ds as they’re known, lead to compelling stories that we cover frequently in the pages of GeekWire. But there are just too many to track, so we decided to launch the Startup File to share what we’re seeing.
