The short version

Lyfe Kitchen is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (same person name on both filings, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 4 Form D filings between May 2013 and Jan 2016.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 3 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: $15M to 236 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Restaurants (2). Issuers are based in IL (1), TN (1).

What this means $15M raised across the group, about $64K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Court Coursey (2 issuers, director), Michael J Roberts (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Chancellor Carlisle (1 issuer, executive officer and director), Charles K. Stewart (1 issuer, director), Chuck Stewart (1 issuer, director) and 5 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 Jan 14, 2016.

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, 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 4 public filings for Lyfe Kitchen and found 12 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 869 days after the first sale; 2 separate companies in this group use the same name: "Lyfe Kitchen, Inc."; 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.

12 differences found between the filings for Lyfe Kitchen — 2 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 28, 2013

57 other issuers file from the same address — Lyfe Kitchen, Inc.

The address on file, 980 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1640, Chicago, IL, is used by 58 issuers in our index across 9 sponsor groups; 57 are outside this group. It is on our registered-agent / shared-office list (61 issuers in 20 unrelated clusters).

What this means Many unrelated companies file from this address. Often a registered agent or a fund administrator; sometimes a shared office. Ask where the team actually works.

Sources
Worth asking · Jan 10, 2011 – May 28, 2013

Form D filed 869 days after the first sale — Lyfe Kitchen, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jan 10, 2011. The Form D was filed May 28, 2013 — 869 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 854 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
Note · Apr 2, 2013 – May 28, 2013

Form D filed 56 days after the first sale — Lyfe Kitchen, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 2, 2013. The Form D was filed May 28, 2013 — 56 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 41 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 · May 5, 2015 – May 20, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Lyfe Kitchen, LLC (latest filing May 20, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 20, 2015 (first sale May 5, 2015). It reports $12,360,000 sold of $24,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Sources
Note · May 20, 2015 – Jan 14, 2016

Kevin W. Fienup is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Kevin W. Fienup" on the May 20, 2015 filing, and "Kevin Fienup" on the Jan 14, 2016 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · May 28, 2013 – May 20, 2015

Michael J Roberts is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Michael J. Roberts" on 2 filings (from May 28, 2013), and "Michael Roberts" on 2 filings (from May 20, 2015).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · May 28, 2013

David Michael Bryant is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "David Bryant" on the May 28, 2013 filing, and "David Michael Bryant" on the May 28, 2013 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Worth asking · May 28, 2013 – May 20, 2015

2 separate companies in this group use the same name: "Lyfe Kitchen, Inc."

CIK 1577939 (first filed May 28, 2013, Chicago, IL); CIK 1642948 (first filed May 20, 2015, Memphis, TN).

What this means Two legal entities with one name can make it unclear which one you invested in. Match the CIK and the SEC file number on your documents, not just the name.

Sources
Note · May 28, 2013

Address on file is a registered agent / shared office — Lyfe Kitchen, Inc.

The latest filing lists 980 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1640, Chicago, IL. That address is used by 61 issuers in our index (61 issuers in 20 unrelated clusters).

What this means Many small companies use a registered agent's address — it is legal and common. It means the Form D address is not where the team works. Ask where the business operates and who runs it day to day.

Sources
Note · May 28, 2013 – Jan 14, 2016

Member companies were formed in 2 different states

Georgia (1), Delaware (1) — out of 2 member issuers. The odd ones out: Lyfe Kitchen, LLC (Delaware).

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
Note · May 28, 2013 – Jan 14, 2016

Member companies list addresses in 2 different states

IL (1), TN (1). 1 member uses a registered-agent or shared-office address: Lyfe Kitchen, Inc. (980 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1640, Chicago, IL).

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. The other address is more likely the real office — ask which one is.

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).
