Synergy is a sponsor group of 3 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address, similar issuer names; automatic match from the filings), filing 3 Form D filings between Feb 2019 and Sep 2020.
What this means One team, 3 deal companies, about 1 year 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: $542K to 12 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Oil and Gas (2), "Other" (1). Issuers are based in TX (3).
What this means $542K raised across the group, about $45K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.
Principal people: Kristi Alfaro (3 issuers, executive officer).
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 15, 2020.
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) — 7 court cases matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.
What this means 14 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 3 public filings for Synergy and found 15 differences, 7 worth asking the sponsor about: 375% of the money raised went to insiders; 607% of the money raised went to insiders; 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.

ARCA Wildlife Development & Conservation LLC (last filing Sep 15, 2020; $199,860 sold of $3,197,760); Synergy Capital Group LLC (last filing Oct 25, 2019; $49,444 sold of $1,484,985). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

Kristi Alfaro is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Feb 5, 2019) with no FINRA CRD number given.
What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.
The filing says the first sale was Jun 10, 2020. The Form D was filed Sep 15, 2020 — 97 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 82 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.

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.
