The short version

Penpal is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same person name on both filings, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 4 Form D filings between Jun 2015 and Jan 2019.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 4 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: $550K to 14 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Other Technology (2). Issuers are based in TX (2).

What this means $550K raised across the group, about $39K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: Azita Ardakani (2 issuers, director), Miguel Vazquez (2 issuers, executive officer and director), Joseph Troven-Schwartz (1 issuer, executive officer and director) and Joseph Troyen-Schwartz (1 issuer, executive officer and director).

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 29, 2019.

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) — 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 Penpal and found 10 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 253 days after the first sale; Form D filed 252 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.

10 differences found between the filings for Penpal — 3 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 29, 2019

18% of the money raised went to insiders — PenPal News, Inc.

The Jan 29, 2019 Form D reports $275,000 sold and $50,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters. Issuer's note: "Payment of executive officers' salaries".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Form D filed 253 days after the first sale — PenPal News, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 21, 2018. The Form D was filed Jan 29, 2019 — 253 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 238 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.

Note · Jan 18, 2017 – Feb 2, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — PenPal News, Inc. (latest filing Feb 2, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 2, 2017 (first sale Jan 18, 2017). It reports $550,008 sold of $599,998 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.

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)

1 of 2 issuers have a matched state registry record — records by status: active 1.

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.
