One sponsor team, 8 deal companies · Morrisville, NC
Grouped because: 15 shared people, same business address (8 issuers), similar issuer names (8) · 3 issuers also list a director who sits on many unrelated issuers (not used to group) (automatic match from the filings) · not the same sponsor?
Data last updated Oct 23, 2026, 5:45 PM ET · Latest filing in this group Sep 9, 2022 · Courts (RECAP) last checked: Oct 24, 2026, 2:16 AM ET · SEC enforcement last checked: covered by the index scan as of Oct 24, 2026, 2:50 AM ET
Smartsky is a sponsor group of 8 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 23 Form D filings between Aug 2012 and Sep 2022.
What this means One team, 8 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: $53.8M to 92 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Telecommunications (8). Issuers are based in NC (8).
What this means $53.8M raised across the group, about $585K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.
Principal people: Haynes G. Griffin (8 issuers, executive officer and director), Richard C. Rowlenson (8 issuers, executive officer), Carter Griffin (7 issuers, executive officer), Ryan M. Stone (7 issuers, executive officer and director), Emil W. Henry, Jr. (5 issuers, director) and 23 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 Sep 9, 2022.
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) — 3 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.
What this means 4 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 23 public filings for Smartsky and found 19 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Regulator action naming a team member: Ranieri Partners LLC and Donald W. Phillips (Mar 8, 2013); Smartsky includes 3 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target; 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.

19 differences found between the filings for Smartsky — 3 worth asking about (compared 23 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
A ap release dated Mar 8, 2013 names Donald W. Phillips (listed on the same filings). The release is the source; we do not summarize its outcome here.
What this means A regulator filed or announced an action naming this person or company (or someone on the same filings). Read the release; ask the sponsor what it was and how it ended.
United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. North Carolina docket "SmartSky Networks, LLC v. Gross" filed Jun 13, 2022, closed Aug 5, 2024. SmartSky Networks, LLC (member issuer) is listed as Plaintiff ("SmartSky Networks, LLC"). Our match estimate: 80%.
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.
Series B SmartSky II, LLC (last filing Jun 15, 2022; $1,726,400 sold of $7,074,000); Series B SmartSky I, LLC (last filing Jun 15, 2022; $907,700 sold of $7,074,000); SmartSky Investco, LLC (last filing Jun 24, 2021; $41,383,938 sold of $115,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its 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.
The filing says the first sale was Jul 15, 2012. The Form D was filed Aug 2, 2012 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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.
No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Series B SmartSky II, LLC (latest filing Jun 15, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Series B SmartSky I, LLC (latest filing Jun 15, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SmartSky New HoldCo, LLC (latest filing Jun 15, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SmartSky New HoldCo, LLC (latest filing Dec 20, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Legacy SmartSky, LLC (latest filing Aug 31, 2021) · and 6 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.
Antony Barker appears on the Feb 14, 2017 Form D (director) but not on the Apr 10, 2017 Form D/A for the same offering.
What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.
Haynes G. Griffin's role changed at SmartSky New HoldCo, LLC: director → executive officer, director · E. S. Eskridge, Jr.'s role changed at SmartSky Networks, LLC: executive officer, director → executive officer · Paul Sameit's role changed at SmartSky Networks, LLC: executive officer, director → executive officer · Eric L. Legvold's role changed at SmartSky Networks, LLC: executive officer, director → executive officer · Reed E. Hundt's role changed at SmartSky Networks, LLC: executive officer, director → director

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.
The Feb 14, 2017 filing says an indefinite amount offered; the Apr 10, 2017 Form D/A says $175,640,468.

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.

NYC and Cook County are also looked up per issuer when its page is viewed; the most recent such lookup on this site finished Oct 24, 2026, 3:30 AM ET. Parties are named as the recorder's index names them (role suffixes as recorded); no address, account number or trust date is shown for an individual, and individual owners of record (home ownership) are not matched or shown. Items still in human review are not shown.
Why each issuer is here is stated in the "Linked by" column. Low-confidence links are never shown — they wait for human review.

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