The short version

Eric Michelman is listed as a director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2010 and Dec 2022: Valant Medical Solutions, Inc. (Seattle, WA — other technology — 2010–2013; $11.2M reported sold to 61 investors) and ActX, Inc. (Seattle, WA — other health care — 2022; $5.99M reported sold to 43 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 12 years. Across those companies the filings report $17.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Ben Lischner (5 shared filings), David Lischner (5 shared filings), Stacy Shaw Welch (5 shared filings), Heather Grube (4 shared filings), Donald Schoen (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 Eric. 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) — 6 court cases matching the name, 6 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 records came back, including 1 court case still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 6 public filings for Eric Michelman and found 6 differences: Form D filed 16 days after the first sale; Offering amount changed between filings; 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

6 differences found between the filings for Eric Michelman (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 3, 2022 – Dec 19, 2022

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — ActX, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 3, 2022. The Form D was filed Dec 19, 2022 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 28, 2012 – Oct 25, 2012

Offering amount changed between filings — Valant Medical Solutions, Inc.

The Jun 28, 2012 filing says $1,828,324 offered; the Oct 25, 2012 Form D/A says $2,300,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Dec 12, 2011 – Jun 28, 2012

Offering amount changed between filings — Valant Medical Solutions, Inc.

The Dec 12, 2011 filing says $937,116 offered; the Jun 28, 2012 Form D/A says $1,828,324.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Dec 3, 2022 – Dec 19, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ActX, Inc. (latest filing Dec 19, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 19, 2022 (first sale Dec 3, 2022). It reports $5,993,148 sold of $6,100,000 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
Note · May 9, 2013 – May 22, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Valant Medical Solutions, Inc. (latest filing May 22, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 22, 2013 (first sale May 9, 2013). It reports $783,869 sold of $2,000,000 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
Note · Oct 22, 2010 – Nov 5, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Valant Medical Solutions, Inc. (latest filing Nov 5, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 5, 2010 (first sale Oct 22, 2010). It reports $285,000 sold of $1,000,003 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.

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.
