The short version

Derek Schlicker is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jun 2025 and Jun 2026: BetterComp, Inc. (Walnut Creek, CA — other technology — 2025–2026; $17.1M reported sold to 28 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 Alan Miegel (3 shared filings), Derek Watson (3 shared filings), Sandra Leon (3 shared filings), Steve Berkowitz (3 shared filings), Steven Lula (3 shared filings) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Derek. 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) — 3 court cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 Derek Schlicker and found 1 difference: Address moved from Alamo, CA to Walnut Creek, CA.

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

1 difference found between the filings for Derek Schlicker (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 18, 2025 – Jun 3, 2026

Address moved from Alamo, CA to Walnut Creek, CA — BetterComp, Inc.

The people listed on the Jun 18, 2025 filing give Alamo, CA; on the Jun 3, 2026 filing they give Walnut Creek, CA. The address now on file (2121 North California Blvd, Ste 290, Walnut Creek, CA) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 8 issuers.

What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.

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