The short version

Free is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address; automatic match from the filings), filing 8 Form D filings between May 2014 and Jun 2024.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 10 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: $1.35M to 19 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Manufacturing (1), "Other" (1). Issuers are based in CO (2).

What this means $1.35M raised across the group, about $71K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Jeffrey Schmidgall (2 issuers, executive officer, director, and promoter), Cybele Pascal (1 issuer, executive officer and director), Jared Menzel (1 issuer, executive officer, director, and promoter), Jason Starr (1 issuer, executive officer and director), John Rubini (1 issuer, director) and 4 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 Jun 7, 2024.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 2 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 8 public filings for Free and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Form D filed 90 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.

8 differences found between the filings for Free — 2 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 21, 2001 – Sep 6, 2001

Bankruptcy case: Steven W. Seward — filed May 21, 2001

United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. California docket "Steven W. Seward" filed May 21, 2001, closed Sep 6, 2001. STEVEN SEWARD (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("Steven W. Seward"). Our match estimate: 70%.

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 · Jun 7, 2024

Amount sold went down between filings — FREE TO EAT, INC.

The Jun 7, 2024 filing says $904,962 sold; the Jun 7, 2024 Form D/A says $700,000 sold — $204,962 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Note · Aug 3, 2018

Last filing Aug 3, 2018 with 26% of the target sold — Bubba's Foods LLC

Bubba's Foods LLC (last filing Aug 3, 2018; $653,238 sold of $2,500,000). There is no filing in more than two years and the last one reported under half the target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Worth asking · Apr 7, 2016 – Jul 6, 2016

Form D filed 90 days after the first sale — FREE TO EAT, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 7, 2016. The Form D was filed Jul 6, 2016 — 90 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 75 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
Note · Jul 28, 2017 – Aug 16, 2017

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — Bubba's Foods LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 28, 2017. The Form D was filed Aug 16, 2017 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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.

Note · May 13, 2014 – Jun 7, 2024

7 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 — FREE TO EAT, INC. (latest filing Jun 7, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FREE TO EAT, INC. (latest filing Jan 13, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Bubba's Foods LLC (latest filing Aug 3, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Bubba's Foods LLC (latest filing Aug 16, 2017) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — FREE TO EAT, INC. (latest filing Jul 6, 2016) · and 2 more

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

Sources
Note · Jan 13, 2023 – Jun 7, 2024

Address moved from Los Angeles, CA to Loveland, CO — FREE TO EAT, INC.

The people listed on the Jan 13, 2023 filing give Los Angeles, CA; on the Jun 7, 2024 filing they give Loveland, CO.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Sources
Note · Aug 3, 2018 – Jun 7, 2024

Member companies were formed in 2 different states

Delaware (1), Colorado (1) — out of 2 member issuers. The odd ones out: Bubba's Foods LLC (Colorado).

What this means Sponsors often form each deal company in Delaware or Wyoming no matter where the property is. A mix is common; it just tells you which state's rules each company lives under.

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.

How this is counted

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.

Counted across all 2 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

None of the 2 issuers has a record in the registries searched.

Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file). A registry listing is the state's own record of the entity; it says nothing about the offering itself.
