The short version

Chris Steinbaugh is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Oct 2023: PERCH ENERGY, INC. (Boston, MA — other energy — 2023; $25M reported sold to 4 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Oct 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 Bruce Stewart (1 shared filing), Eric Graber-Lopez (1 shared filing), Joseph E. Liipscomb (1 shared filing), Maria Thomas (1 shared filing) and Radhika Shroff (1 shared filing).

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 1 public filing for Chris Steinbaugh and found 4 differences: Form D filed 18 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

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

Note · Oct 6, 2023 – Oct 24, 2023

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — PERCH ENERGY, INC.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 6, 2023. The Form D was filed Oct 24, 2023 — 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.

Form D · Oct 24, 2023 ↗PERCH ENERGY, INC. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Oct 6, 2023 – Oct 24, 2023

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — PERCH ENERGY, INC. (latest filing Oct 24, 2023)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 24, 2023 (first sale Oct 6, 2023). It reports $24,999,995 sold of $34,999,953 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.

Same name, different state: "Chris Steinbaugh" (MI) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA. A separate record, "Chris Steinbaugh" with address state MI, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Advanced Battery Concepts, LLC (Oct 26, 2020). The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Oct 24, 2023; the other has one filing dated Oct 26, 2020.

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

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $1,250,000; 0 report proceeds to related persons. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
