The short version

Michael Coan is listed as an executive officer on 2 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jan 2010 and Mar 2010: GOTV NETWORKS INC (Sherman Oaks, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2010; $1.5M reported sold to 2 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Mar 2010. 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 Carmi Zlotnick (2 shared filings), Daniel Tibbets (2 shared filings), Richard Harrison (2 shared filings) and Thomas Ellsworth (2 shared filings).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Michael. 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 court case matching the name, 10 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 11 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 Michael Coan and found 2 differences: No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; Same name, different state: "Michael Coan" (NC) is a separate record.

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

2 differences found between the filings for Michael Coan (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jan 12, 2010 – Mar 25, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — GOTV NETWORKS INC (latest filing Mar 25, 2010)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 25, 2010 (first sale Jan 12, 2010). It reports $1,500,000 sold of $3,000,000 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.

Form D/A · Mar 25, 2010 ↗GOTV NETWORKS INC — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Jul 10, 2020

Same name, different state: "Michael Coan" (NC) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Michael Coan" with address state NC, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Service Write, Inc. (Jul 10, 2020). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jan 25, 2010 to Mar 25, 2010; the other has one filing dated Jul 10, 2020.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

"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.
