The short version

Michael Gurau is listed as a director on 15 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jun 2009 and Nov 2013: Nanocomp Technologies, Inc. (Merrimack, NH — other technology — 2010–2013; $15M reported sold to 38 investors) and Rustic Crust Inc (Pittsfield, NH — manufacturing — 2009–2012; $1.8M reported sold to 8 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 4 years. Across those companies the filings report $16.8M sold in total.

Listed alongside Bradford S. Sterl, Jr. (8 shared filings), David Griest (8 shared filings), Doug Troy (8 shared filings), David Gruber (7 shared filings), Matthew Pierson (7 shared filings) and 12 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 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 15 public filings for Michael Gurau and found 12 differences, 2 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

12 differences found between the filings for Michael Gurau — 2 worth asking about (compared 15 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 17, 2009 – Aug 14, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — Rustic Crust Inc

The Jul 17, 2009 filing says $664,975 sold; the Aug 14, 2009 Form D says $250,000 sold — $414,975 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 17, 2009 – Aug 14, 2009

Investor count went down between filings — Rustic Crust Inc

The Jul 17, 2009 filing reports 6 investors; the Aug 14, 2009 Form D 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.

7 offerings changed their target amount between filings

Offering amount changed between filings — Rustic Crust Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — Nanocomp Technologies, Inc. · Offering amount changed between filings — Rustic Crust Inc · Offering amount lowered between filings — Rustic Crust Inc · Offering amount changed between filings — Rustic Crust Inc · and 2 more

6 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Nanocomp Technologies, 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 12, 2009 – Nov 29, 2011

Industry group changed between filings — Rustic Crust Inc

"Other" (Jun 12, 2009 to Feb 2, 2010); then "Manufacturing" (Nov 29, 2011 to Jul 18, 2012).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Jan 5, 2012 – Mar 12, 2013

Address moved from Concord, NH to Merrimack, NH — Nanocomp Technologies, Inc.

The people listed on the Jan 5, 2012 filing give Concord, NH; on the Mar 12, 2013 filing they give Merrimack, NH.

Note · Jul 17, 2009 – Aug 14, 2009

Address moved from Portland, ME to Pittsfield, NH — Rustic Crust Inc

The people listed on the Jul 17, 2009 filing give Portland, ME; on the Aug 14, 2009 filing they give Pittsfield, NH.

Address moved from Pittsfield, NH to Portland, ME — Rustic Crust Inc

The people listed on the Jun 12, 2009 filing give Pittsfield, NH; on the Jul 17, 2009 filing they give Portland, ME.

Sources
Note · Jun 12, 2009 – Nov 8, 2013

ME on 6 filings (Jun 12, 2009 to Jan 5, 2012); NH on 9 filings (Nov 9, 2009 to Nov 8, 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 9, 2009 – Feb 2, 2010

Minimum investment changed between filings — Rustic Crust Inc

The Nov 9, 2009 filing lists a minimum of $500,000; the Feb 2, 2010 Form D/A lists $0.

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 2

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

None of the 2 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.
