The short version

MARK STEPHENS is listed as a director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2020 and Oct 2023: Layr Holdings, Inc. (Atlanta, GA — other technology — 2020–2023; $10M reported sold to 13 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 PHILLIP M. NAPLES (2 shared filings), ANDREW T. EGENES (1 shared filing), BENJAMIN MALKA (1 shared filing), BRANDON BARON (1 shared filing), CHRISTOPHER ZOCK (1 shared filing) and 2 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around MARK. 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) — 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 2 public filings for MARK STEPHENS and found 8 differences: Form D filed 25 days after the first sale; Form D filed 19 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 MARK STEPHENS (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Sep 29, 2023 – Oct 24, 2023

Form D filed 25 days after the first sale — Layr Holdings, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Sep 29, 2023. The Form D was filed Oct 24, 2023 — 25 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 10 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 19, 2020 – Jul 8, 2020

Form D filed 19 days after the first sale — Layr Holdings, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 19, 2020. The Form D was filed Jul 8, 2020 — 19 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 4 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 19, 2020 – Jul 8, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Layr Holdings, Inc. (latest filing Jul 8, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jul 8, 2020 (first sale Jun 19, 2020). It reports $4,985,395 sold of $5,135,390 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
