The short version

Michael Droesch is listed as a director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jun 2020 and Apr 2025: Tackle.io, Inc. (Boise, ID — other technology — 2020–2021; $100M reported sold to 30 investors), Optimal Dynamics, Inc. (New York, NY — other technology — 2022–2025; $33.3M reported sold to 9 investors) and Crash Override, Inc. (New York, NY — other technology — 2022–2024; $13.2M reported sold to 7 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $146.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brian Denker (4 shared filings), Dillon Woods (4 shared filings), John Jahnke (4 shared filings), Leo Spiegel (4 shared filings), Michael Asher (4 shared filings) and 9 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 Michael Droesch and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 1,183 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

7 differences found between the filings for Michael Droesch — 1 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 28, 2017 – Jun 23, 2020

Form D filed 1,183 days after the first sale — Tackle.io, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 28, 2017. The Form D was filed Jun 23, 2020 — 1,183 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1,168 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 · Jun 5, 2020 – Jun 23, 2020

Form D filed 18 days after the first sale — Tackle.io, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 5, 2020. The Form D was filed Jun 23, 2020 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 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.

Note · Apr 14, 2025 – Apr 28, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Optimal Dynamics, Inc. (latest filing Apr 28, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 28, 2025 (first sale Apr 14, 2025). It reports $33,260,887 sold of $42,999,993 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 · Feb 7, 2024 – Feb 21, 2024

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Crash Override, Inc. (latest filing Feb 21, 2024)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 21, 2024 (first sale Feb 7, 2024). It reports $7,549,996 sold of $7,999,995 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 · Jul 29, 2022 – Aug 11, 2022

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Crash Override, Inc. (latest filing Aug 11, 2022)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 11, 2022 (first sale Jul 29, 2022). It reports $5,749,999 sold of $5,999,998 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.

Note · Dec 16, 2024 – May 12, 2026

Same name, different state: "Michael Droesch" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Michael Droesch" with address state CA, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Vapi Inc. (May 12, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 16, 2024 to Apr 28, 2025).

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 · Jun 20, 2019

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

This page covers filings where the address state is NY. A separate record, "Michael Droesch" with address state GA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Cypress.io, Inc. (Jun 20, 2019). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 23, 2020 to Apr 28, 2025; the other has one filing dated Jun 20, 2019.

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.

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.
