The short version

Benjamin Kramer is listed as an executive officer on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Aug 2023: Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (Brunswick, ME — industry reported as "Other" — 2023; $11.2M reported sold to 160 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2023. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Adler Prioly (1 shared filing), Angela Butler (1 shared filing), Beth Mattingly (1 shared filing), Betsy Biemann (1 shared filing), Catherine Godschalk (1 shared filing) and 20 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Benjamin. Each name links to their own page.

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) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 1 public filing for Benjamin Kramer and found 4 differences: 6 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members; Benjamin Kramer appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its 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.

4 differences found between the filings for Benjamin Kramer (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 6, 2006 – Oct 2, 2020

6 bankruptcy cases name the subject or team members

Bankruptcy case: Coastal Enterprises, Inc. v. Hunt — filed Aug 14, 2020 · Bankruptcy case: Coastal Enterprises, Inc. v. Ruesswick — filed Jul 8, 2016 · Bankruptcy case: Coastal Enterprises, Inc. v.

Benjamin Kramer appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (last filing Aug 30, 2023; $11,186,430 sold of $40,000,000). 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.

Coastal Enterprises, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Nov 1, 2016 – Aug 30, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Coastal Enterprises, Inc. (latest filing Aug 30, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 30, 2023 (first sale Nov 1, 2016). It reports $11,186,430 sold of $40,000,000 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.

Form D/A · Aug 30, 2023 ↗Coastal Enterprises, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Oct 21, 2022

Same name, different state: "Benjamin Kramer" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is ME. A separate record, "Benjamin Kramer" with address state CA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Insomnia Labs, Inc. (Oct 21, 2022). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Aug 30, 2023; the other has one filing dated Oct 21, 2022.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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
