The short version

Frederic De Mevius is listed as a director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Oct 2009 and Jul 2014: Vita Coco Company, Inc. (New York, NY — manufacturing — 2010–2014; $165.9M reported sold to 57 investors), SAMBAZON INC (San Clemente, CA — manufacturing — 2012; $65.1M reported sold to 32 investors) and Hint Inc (San Francisco, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2012; $17.5M reported sold to 61 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $248.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside Kenneth R. Sadowsky (8 shared filings), Ira Liran (4 shared filings), Julio Pekarovic (4 shared filings), Kara Goldin (4 shared filings), Michael Kirban (4 shared filings) and 11 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Frederic. 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 10 public filings for Frederic De Mevius and found 11 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Form D filed 67 days after the first sale; 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

11 differences found between the filings for Frederic De Mevius — 2 worth asking about (compared 10 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 21, 2009 – Feb 19, 2010

Amount sold went down between filings — Hint Inc

The Oct 21, 2009 filing says $800,000 sold; the Feb 19, 2010 Form D says $250,000 sold — $550,000 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Dec 13, 2010 – Feb 18, 2011

Form D filed 67 days after the first sale — Vita Coco Company, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 13, 2010. The Form D was filed Feb 18, 2011 — 67 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 52 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 · Mar 22, 2010 – May 14, 2010

Form D filed 53 days after the first sale — Vita Coco Company, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 22, 2010. The Form D was filed May 14, 2010 — 53 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 38 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 · Jan 4, 2012 – Feb 23, 2012

Offering amount lowered between filings — SAMBAZON INC

The Jan 4, 2012 filing says $6,000,000 offered; the Feb 23, 2012 Form D/A says $3,500,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Oct 13, 2009 – Jul 9, 2012

6 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hint Inc (latest filing Jul 9, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vita Coco Company, Inc. (latest filing May 24, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SAMBAZON INC (latest filing Feb 23, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vita Coco Company, Inc. (latest filing Feb 18, 2011) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vita Coco Company, Inc. (latest filing May 14, 2010) · and 1 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.

Sources
Note · May 14, 2010 – Jul 23, 2014

Industry group changed between filings — Vita Coco Company, Inc.

"Retailing" (May 14, 2010 to May 24, 2012); then "Other" (Jul 23, 2014).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Oct 21, 2009 – Mar 8, 2011

Industry group changed between filings — Hint Inc

"Other" (Oct 21, 2009 to Feb 19, 2010); then "Retailing" (Mar 8, 2011 to Jul 9, 2012).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Oct 21, 2009 – Jul 23, 2014

Frederic De Mevius is listed with 3 different address states: C9, NY, CA

Belgium (as filed: C9) on 2 filings (Oct 21, 2009 to Feb 19, 2010); NY on 4 filings (May 14, 2010 to Jul 23, 2014); CA on 4 filings (Mar 8, 2011 to Jul 9, 2012).

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.

Sources
Note · May 14, 2010 – May 24, 2012

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Vita Coco Company, Inc.

"$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (May 14, 2010); then "Decline to Disclose" (May 24, 2012).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
Note · Oct 21, 2009 – Mar 8, 2011

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Hint Inc

"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Oct 21, 2009); then "$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (Mar 8, 2011).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
Note · Jan 4, 2012 – Feb 23, 2012

Minimum investment changed between filings — SAMBAZON INC

The Jan 4, 2012 filing lists a minimum of $1,000,000; the Feb 23, 2012 Form D/A lists $541.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.

0 of 8 offerings report sales commissions; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $2,334,389; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $500,000. (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).
