The short version

Laika Universe Inc. is a corporation organized in Delaware (formed 2019), based in Folsom, 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 Jul 2021 and Jan 2022. The latest filing of each offering reports a combined $57.8M sold of $57.8M offered to 26 investors; industry as reported: retailing; 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: Camilo Sanchez (executive officer and director), Felipe Samper (director), Gregorio Marquez (executive officer and director), Juan Carlos Franck (director), Justin Mateen (director) and 2 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 Jan 21, 2022.

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

Searched SEC Form ADV bulk data (registered + exempt reporting advisers) (24,962 records as of Oct 2, 2026, 8:00 AM ET) — nothing matched Laika Universe Inc..

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) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (4 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 2 public filings for Laika Universe Inc. and found 1 difference, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 74 days after the first sale.

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.

Key records

Five things investors ask first. Items still in human review are counted, not shown.

1. Lawsuits

None found in sources searched — federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), checked Oct 24, 2026

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:14 AM ET.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). 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. Federal courts are searched through CourtListener / RECAP.

4. Differences between public sources

No comparisons published

What is compared

No public statement by this issuer 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 issuer yet.

1 difference found between the filings for Laika Universe Inc. — 1 worth asking about (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 6, 2021 – Jul 19, 2021

Form D filed 74 days after the first sale — Laika Universe Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 6, 2021. The Form D was filed Jul 19, 2021 — 74 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 59 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.

Form D · Jul 19, 2021 ↗ (Jul 19, 2021)

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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

Per-offering detail

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Jan 21, 2022 D File 021-430410	$0	$0	$0	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗
Jul 19, 2021 D File 021-406698	$0	$0	$0	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

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.

Spellings of the same name (same first and last name, or the same full name that EDGAR split differently into middle and last name) with no conflicting middle initial are shown on one row (none on this issuer); dates and counts come from the filings that list each name. Licensed persons: FINRA BrokerCheck ↗ · SEC IAPD ↗. Middle names: the SEC Form D data set (RELATEDPERSONS.tsv) repeats the previous person's middle name into later rows of the same filing; where that happened PartnerFacts shows the name without the repeated middle name and keeps the data-set spelling on record (GREGORIO EDUARDO MARQUEZ; JUAN CARLOS EDUARDO FRANCK; JUSTIN EDUARDO MATEEN) — the filing on EDGAR is the source.
