The short version

James Schroer is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Apr 2010 and Jan 2018: Networked Insights, Inc. (Chicago, IL — other technology — 2010–2011; $30M reported sold to 18 investors) and Spot Stuff, Inc. (Excelsior, MN — retailing — 2018; $200K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $30.2M sold in total.

Listed alongside Daniel J. Neely (3 shared filings), Gerald R. Komlofske (3 shared filings), Michael Mitchell (2 shared filings), Sharon Chamberlain (2 shared filings), Daniel Nelson (1 shared filing) and 6 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 4 public filings for James Schroer and found 11 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: James A Schroer and Patricia C Schroer; Bankruptcy case: James Schroer and Toni Schroer; 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.

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 15, 2011 (first sale Jul 8, 2011). It reports $16,226,971 sold of $20,000,000 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.

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).
