The short version

Social Standards, Inc. is a corporation organized in Delaware (formed more than five years before filing), based in Oakland, CA.

What this means A deal company is usually set up for one investment; its Form D is the notice it files after selling to investors.

It has filed 2 Form D filings (2 originals, 0 amendments) for 2 offerings between Apr 2017 and Nov 2018. The latest filing of each offering reports a combined $8.94M sold of $12.2M offered to 28 investors; industry as reported: industry reported as "Other"; latest exemption Rule 506(b).

What this means 2 separate raises over about 1 year. Amendments are routine updates (an ongoing raise must update its Form D at least once a year).

Key people as listed: Devon Bergman (executive officer and director), Jeff Pressman (director), Matthew S. Johnson (director), Odile Roujol (director), Francois Modarresse (executive officer and director) and 1 more.

What this means These are the people the company itself named as running or promoting it. Tap a name to see every other deal they are on.

No sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders are reported. No sales-compensation recipients are listed.

What this means No broker was paid — the sponsor sold it directly to investors.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; no amendment on file; latest filing Nov 29, 2018.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year — this deal company may be done raising, or simply quiet.

Adviser registration (Form ADV): not yet searched.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 2 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below. Not yet searched: SEC enforcement releases (search queued; results are added automatically).

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.

What the community is saying

Nothing found on Reddit, BiggerPockets or community forums for high-net-worth investors (searched Oct 24, 2026) — search queued; this line updates when it has run.

Community comments are quoted as written by their authors. Sources searched: BiggerPockets forums (via DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing and BiggerPockets search) and Reddit (search feed + public archive).

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts; live RECAP re-check pending. State courts: not yet searched. PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:13 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not yet searched. No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.
