The short version

Eric Liedtke is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2017 and Apr 2019: Carbon, Inc. (Redwood City, CA — other technology — 2017–2019; $200M reported sold to 17 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 Adam Grosser (3 shared filings), Alan S. Mulally (3 shared filings), Elisa de Martel (3 shared filings), Ellen Kullman (3 shared filings), James J. Goetz (3 shared filings) and 7 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 3 court cases matching the name, 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 Eric Liedtke and found 3 differences: Bankruptcy case: Liedtke v. Credits Inc; 3 court cases name Eric Liedtke; 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

3 differences found between the filings for Eric Liedtke (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 28, 2000 – Oct 11, 2000

Bankruptcy case: Liedtke v. Credits Inc — filed Aug 28, 2000

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Oregon docket "Liedtke v. Credits Inc" filed Aug 28, 2000, closed Oct 11, 2000. Eric Liedtke is listed as Plaintiff ("Liedtke"). Our match estimate: 40%.

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.

Sources
Note · Dec 15, 1999 – Jul 7, 2006

3 court cases name Eric Liedtke

By role: plaintiff in 3. Newest: "Liedtke v. Spectra Inc" (District Court, D. South Carolina, Jul 7, 2006); "Liedtke v. Cendant Corporation" (District Court, E.D. Wisconsin, Jan 13, 2000); "Liedtke v. Eaton Corporation" (District Court, N.D. Ohio, Dec 15, 1999). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

What this means Several court cases name this subject. Some are routine business suits. Ask what each was about and how it ended.

Sources
Note · Mar 22, 2019 – Apr 5, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Carbon, Inc. (latest filing Apr 5, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 5, 2019 (first sale Mar 22, 2019). It reports $119,999,899 sold of $300,000,000 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.

Sources
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

1 of 2 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $3,000,000; 0 report finder's fees; 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).
