The short version

Maria Forero is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2017 and Dec 2019: VISIONGATE INC (Phoenix, AZ — biotechnology — 2017–2019; $36.6M reported sold to 83 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 Alan C. Nelson (4 shared filings), Walter L. Robb (4 shared filings), James S. Burns (3 shared filings), Tanisha June-Nichole Villanueva (3 shared filings), Randy L. Buness (2 shared filings) and 6 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Maria. 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) — 8 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 4 public filings for Maria Forero and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Investor count went down between filings; Form D filed 77 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

8 differences found between the filings for Maria Forero — 2 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 26, 2017 – Dec 20, 2017

Investor count went down between filings — VISIONGATE INC

The Jun 26, 2017 filing reports 79 investors; the Dec 20, 2017 Form D/A reports 62 investors.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

Sources
Worth asking · Jun 6, 2019 – Aug 22, 2019

Form D filed 77 days after the first sale — VISIONGATE INC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 6, 2019. The Form D was filed Aug 22, 2019 — 77 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 62 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 · Dec 20, 2017 – Dec 19, 2018

Offering amount changed between filings — VISIONGATE INC

The Dec 20, 2017 filing says $35,000,000 offered; the Dec 19, 2018 Form D/A says $43,000,001.

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 · Jun 26, 2017 – Dec 20, 2017

Offering amount changed between filings — VISIONGATE INC

The Jun 26, 2017 filing says $27,000,000 offered; the Dec 20, 2017 Form D/A says $35,000,000.

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 · Jun 6, 2013 – Dec 17, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — VISIONGATE INC (latest filing Dec 17, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 17, 2019 (first sale Jun 6, 2013). It reports $36,563,440 sold of $43,000,001 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.

None of the 1 issuer this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
