Group linked by Kevin Chernikoff is a sponsor group of 9 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 10 Form D filings between Oct 2011 and Oct 2019.
What this means One team, 9 deal companies, about 8 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.
Combined reported sold: $12.6M to 41 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Retailing (6), Commercial (2), "Other" (1). Issuers are based in OH (8), CO (1).
What this means $12.6M raised across the group, about $307K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.
Principal people: Kevin Chernikoff (8 issuers, executive officer), Seth Severin (6 issuers, executive officer), Stephen Shane (4 issuers, executive officer), Vernon Ticknor (4 issuers, executive officer), Sheldon Fromson (3 issuers, executive officer and director) and 14 more.
What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.
Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Oct 15, 2019.
What this means No new raise filed in the past year.
Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 4 court cases matching the name, 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.
What this means 8 records came back, including 3 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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.
