The short version

Dela is a sponsor group of 5 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 5 Form D filings between Oct 2014 and May 2026.

What this means One team, 5 deal companies, about 12 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: $9.29M to 65 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Restaurants (4), "Other" (1). Issuers are based in CA (5).

What this means $9.29M raised across the group, about $143K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Adriano Paganini (5 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter).

What this means 5 deals for a one-person team on paper. The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 1 new offering in the last 12 months; latest filing May 12, 2026.

What this means still raising money this year.

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), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 8 court cases matching the name, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 10 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 5 public filings for Dela and found 5 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 421 days after the first sale; Form D filed 173 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

No comparisons published

What is compared

No public statement by this sponsor group has been collected yet, so there is nothing to compare. Sources compared: the sponsor's own website (known from the issuer's own filings — Form C issuer website, EDGAR company profile — an approved profile claim or Form ADV Item 1.I of its matched adviser) · SEC Form D · SEC Form ADV (IAPD) · Internet Archive · No website is on file for this sponsor group yet.

5 differences found between the filings for Dela — 3 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Apr 30, 2012 – Mar 11, 2013

Bankruptcy case: Paganini Electric Corporation v. Schikore — filed Apr 30, 2012

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. California docket "Paganini Electric Corporation v. Schikore" filed Apr 30, 2012, closed Mar 11, 2013. Adriano Paganini (listed on the same filings) is listed as Plaintiff ("Paganini Electric Corporation"). Our match estimate: 68%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Mar 17, 2025 – May 12, 2026

Form D filed 421 days after the first sale — Dela Stanford, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Mar 17, 2025. The Form D was filed May 12, 2026 — 421 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 406 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · Aug 7, 2020 – Jan 27, 2021

Form D filed 173 days after the first sale — 2049 Fillmore Street LLC

The filing says the first sale was Aug 7, 2020. The Form D was filed Jan 27, 2021 — 173 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 158 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.

Sources
Worth asking · Jul 15, 2017 – Dec 19, 2017

Form D filed 157 days after the first sale — 450 Hayes Valley, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 15, 2017. The Form D was filed Dec 19, 2017 — 157 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 142 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.

Sources
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.

"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.
