All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Vrgl (2 issuers, $104M reported sold, 2022–2025).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Vrgl has 2 companies on file and $104M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 2 SEC releases, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 5 public filings for Kyle Bethancourt and found 3 differences: Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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 Kyle Bethancourt (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 24, 2025 – Nov 10, 2025

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — VRGL, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 24, 2025. The Form D was filed Nov 10, 2025 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.

Form D · Nov 10, 2025 ↗ (Nov 10, 2025)
VRGL, Inc. — PartnerFacts page ↗ (Nov 10, 2025)

Note · Aug 27, 2024 – Aug 29, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VRGL, Inc. (latest filing Aug 29, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 29, 2024 (first sale Aug 27, 2024). It reports $5,999,974 sold of $6,000,000 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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 4 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
