The short version

Mark Watson is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between May 2015 and Jul 2024: Infinitum Electric Inc. (Round Rock, TX — other technology — 2022–2024; $221M reported sold to 39 investors), WSQ Strategies, LP (Houston, TX — pooled investment fund — 2015–2017; $4.2M reported sold to 11 investors) and Canary Energy Partners LP (Houston, TX — pooled investment fund — 2023–2024; $3.27M reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $228.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Bernhard Schuler (3 shared filings), David Blivin (3 shared filings), Jaime Aguirre (3 shared filings), John Staudinger (3 shared filings), Milo Werner (3 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 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) — 1 SEC release, 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 8 public filings for Mark Watson and found 10 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Form D filed 112 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

10 differences found between the filings for Mark Watson — 3 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jan 18, 2023 – Apr 4, 2024

Amount sold went down between filings — Canary Energy Partners LP

The Jan 18, 2023 filing says $3,273,750 sold; the Apr 4, 2024 Form D/A says $3,193,000 sold — $80,750 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Jul 31, 2023 – Nov 20, 2023

Form D filed 112 days after the first sale — Infinitum Electric Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 31, 2023. The Form D was filed Nov 20, 2023 — 112 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 97 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
Worth asking · Oct 26, 2022 – Jan 18, 2023

Form D filed 84 days after the first sale — Canary Energy Partners LP

The filing says the first sale was Oct 26, 2022. The Form D was filed Jan 18, 2023 — 84 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 69 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.

The Nov 20, 2023 filing says $202,047,379 offered; the Jul 22, 2024 Form D/A says $250,000,004.

Offering amount changed between filings — Infinitum Electric Inc.

The May 20, 2022 filing says $79,999,965 offered; the Dec 1, 2022 Form D/A says $114,532,485.

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.

How this is counted

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).

None of the 3 issuers 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.
