The short version

Mark Spidell is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jun 2024 and Sep 2026: Defiance Capital Fund, LLC (Glenwood Springs, CO — other real estate — 2024–2026; $12.5M reported sold to 47 investors) and Defiance Capital SubREIT, LLC (Glenwood Springs, CO — reits and finance — 2024; $63K reported sold to 125 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 2 years. Across those companies the filings report $12.6M sold in total.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Defiance (2 issuers, $12.6M reported sold, 2024–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Defiance has 2 companies on file and $12.6M 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, 4 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 4 public filings for Mark Spidell and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 346 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 Spidell — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 21, 2024 – Jun 2, 2025

Form D filed 346 days after the first sale — Defiance Capital Fund, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jun 21, 2024. The Form D was filed Jun 2, 2025 — 346 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 331 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Nov 21, 2024 – Dec 12, 2024

Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — Defiance Capital SubREIT, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Nov 21, 2024. The Form D was filed Dec 12, 2024 — 21 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 6 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 2, 2025 – Sep 29, 2026

Mark Spidell's role changed at Defiance Capital Fund, LLC: executive officer → executive officer, director, promoter

The Jun 2, 2025 filing lists Mark Spidell as executive officer; the Sep 29, 2026 Form D/A lists executive officer, director, promoter.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Note · Jun 20, 2024 – Jun 2, 2025

Mark Spidell's role changed at Defiance Capital Fund, LLC: executive officer, director, promoter → executive officer

The Jun 20, 2024 filing lists Mark Spidell as executive officer, director, promoter; the Jun 2, 2025 Form D lists executive officer.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Jun 21, 2024 – Jun 2, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Defiance Capital Fund, LLC (latest filing Jun 2, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 2, 2025 (first sale Jun 21, 2024). It reports $7,000,000 sold of $100,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 20, 2024 – Jun 2, 2025

Mark Spidell is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Mark Spidell" on 3 filings (from Jun 20, 2024), and "Mark William Spidell" on the Jun 2, 2025 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Jun 20, 2024 – Sep 29, 2026

Industry group changed between filings — Defiance Capital Fund, LLC

"Other Real Estate" (Jun 20, 2024); then "REITS and Finance" (Jun 2, 2025); then "Other Real Estate" (Sep 29, 2026).

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 · Jun 20, 2024 – Sep 29, 2026

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Defiance Capital Fund, LLC

"Decline to Disclose" (Jun 20, 2024); then "$1 - $1,000,000" (Jun 2, 2025); then "Decline to Disclose" (Sep 29, 2026).

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
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.

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).
