Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals
8 differences found between the filings for Devin Whatley — 1 worth asking about (compared 29 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "The Andelman Group Inc" filed May 22, 1998, closed Jan 8, 1999. Jim Andelman (listed on the same filings) is listed as Debtor ("The Andelman Group Inc"). Our match estimate: 70%.
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.
The Mar 13, 2015 Form D reports $1,000,000 sold and $159,670 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "Unpaid wages to executives and reimbursement of expenses.".
What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.
Form D filed 100 days after the first sale — Bluon, Inc. · Form D filed 56 days after the first sale — Bluon, Inc. · Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — ThinkIQ, Inc. · Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — EV Connect, Inc. · Form D filed 45 days after the first sale — Progressive Brands, Inc.
What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.
No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Bluon, Inc. (latest filing Jul 14, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Bluon, Inc. (latest filing Apr 5, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ThinkIQ, Inc. (latest filing Sep 15, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Progressive Brands, Inc. (latest filing Dec 20, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — OneEnergy, Inc. (latest filing Jul 3, 2017) · and 5 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.
Offering amount changed between filings — ThinkIQ, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — OneEnergy, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — OneEnergy, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — OneEnergy, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — OneEnergy, Inc. · and 7 more
What this means Targets change as deals grow or shrink. Ask whether later money has the same terms.
The Apr 20, 2015 filing lists a minimum of $1,000; the Apr 26, 2017 Form D/A lists $0.
What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.
Address moved from Silverado, CA to Aliso Viejo, CA — ThinkIQ, Inc. · Address moved from Aliso Viejo, CA to Silverado, CA — ThinkIQ, Inc. · Address moved from San Mateo, CA to San Ramon, CA — Complete Solar, Inc. · Address moved from Scottsdale, AZ to Ojai, CA — Progressive Brands, Inc. · Address moved from Gresham, OR to Scottsdale, AZ — Progressive Brands, Inc.
What this means Businesses move. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.
CA on 23 filings (Oct 23, 2014 to Jul 14, 2023); OR on 2 filings (Mar 13, 2015 to Mar 13, 2015); AZ on 4 filings (Aug 31, 2015 to May 10, 2017).
What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.
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.
3 of 17 offerings report sales commissions totalling $2,358,381; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $159,670. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)
