14 differences found between the filings for Mark M Spiecker (compared 13 filings on Oct 24, 2026)
United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Colorado docket "Chase Bank USA, N.A. v. Hauert" filed Feb 6, 2006, closed Apr 6, 2006. Brad Hauert (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Hauert"). Our match estimate: 70%.
What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.
The Nov 21, 2017 Form D reports $625,000 sold and $150,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate).
What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.
The Jul 7, 2009 Form D reports $1,170,000 sold and $200,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate).
What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.
The filing says the first sale was Oct 31, 2017. The Form D was filed Nov 21, 2017 — 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.
No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — STAQ Pharma, Inc. (latest filing Sep 16, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — STAQ Pharma, Inc. (latest filing Jun 21, 2023) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — STAQ Pharma, Inc. (latest filing Dec 23, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Sharklet Technologies, Inc. (latest filing Dec 18, 2012) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Sharklet Technologies, Inc. (latest filing Jul 7, 2009)
What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.
The Jul 7, 2009 filing lists Mark M Spiecker as executive officer; the Dec 18, 2012 Form D lists executive officer, director.
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.
The Feb 25, 2020 filing says $8,000,000 offered; the Apr 7, 2020 Form D/A says $9,000,000.
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.
The May 3, 2019 filing says $4,000,000 offered; the Feb 25, 2020 Form D/A says $8,000,000.
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.
The Apr 28, 2023 filing lists a minimum of $1,000,000; the Jun 21, 2023 Form D/A lists $100,000.
What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.
listed as "Mark Spiecker" on 3 filings (from Jul 7, 2009), and "Mark M Spiecker" on 10 filings (from Nov 21, 2017).
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.
"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (Nov 21, 2017); then "Decline to Disclose" (Apr 3, 2018).
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.
The people listed on the Apr 3, 2018 filing give Englewood, CO; on the May 3, 2019 filing they give Denver, CO.
What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.
The people listed on the Jul 7, 2009 filing give Alachua, FL; on the Dec 18, 2012 filing they give Aurora, CO. The address now on file (12635 E. Montview Blvd., Suite 160, Aurora, CO) is a registered-agent or shared-office address used by 20 issuers.
What this means A registered agent's address is a mailbox, not where the team works. Ask where the business actually operates.
FL on 1 filing (Jul 7, 2009); CO on 12 filings (Dec 18, 2012 to Sep 16, 2024).
What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.
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.

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl.
