The short version

Michael Dering is listed as an executive officer and director on 22 SEC Form D filings by 7 issuers between May 2010 and Mar 2016. Largest by amount reported sold: 3Pillar Global, Inc (Fairfax, VA — other technology — 2011–2013; $12M reported sold to 5 investors), HelloWallet Holdings, Inc.

(Alexandria, VA — other technology — 2015; $4M reported sold to 2 investors) and 2 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 7 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $53.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside John Cowan (12 shared filings), Lawson DeVries (12 shared filings), Mitch Mumma (12 shared filings), Adam Wray (8 shared filings), James Pastoriza (3 shared filings) and 54 others.

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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Hellowallet (2 issuers, $6.83M reported sold, 2010–2013).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Hellowallet has 2 companies on file and $6.83M 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) — 10 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 19 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 22 public filings for Michael Dering and found 7 differences, 3 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Investor count went down between filings; 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

7 differences found between the filings for Michael Dering — 3 worth asking about (compared 22 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 11, 2010 – May 26, 2011

Amount sold went down between filings — SOUTH49 SOLUTIONS, INC

The Aug 11, 2010 filing says $1,625,000 sold; the May 26, 2011 Form D/A says $1,244,129 sold — $380,871 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.

Worth asking · Jan 7, 2015 – Mar 26, 2015

Investor count went down between filings — 6fusion USA, Inc.

The Jan 7, 2015 filing reports 2 investors; the Mar 26, 2015 Form D/A reports 1 investor.

What this means Investor counts normally only grow. A smaller number can mean investors left or were refunded, or a count was corrected. Ask the sponsor what happened.

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Fishbowl, Inc. (latest filing Oct 15, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — 6fusion USA, Inc.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Same name, different state: "Michael Dering" (GA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NC or VA or DC. A separate record, "Michael Dering" with address state GA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by DecisionLink Corp (Nov 7, 2013). Both records have filings in the same period (Nov 7, 2013).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Note · May 26, 2010 – Mar 24, 2016

Michael Dering is listed with 3 different address states: NC, VA, DC

NC on 16 filings (May 26, 2010 to Mar 24, 2016); VA on 5 filings (May 26, 2011 to Oct 15, 2015); DC on 1 filing (Sep 30, 2013).

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

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).

Deals 7

Every issuer that named Michael Dering on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 7 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.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Michael Dering by design.
