The short version

Michael Hermsen is listed as an executive officer on 5 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Apr 2011 and Feb 2014: Tower Square Capital Partners IV, L.P. (Springfield, MA — pooled investment fund — 2014; $282.3M reported sold to 36 investors), Tower Square Capital Partners IV-A, L.P. (Springfield, MA — pooled investment fund — 2014; $137.3M reported sold to 8 investors) and Gateway Mezzanine Partners I, L.P. (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (as filed: C3) — pooled investment fund — 2011–2013; $72.4M reported sold to 8 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $491.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Babson Capital Australia Pty Limited (3 shared filings, management entity), Ben Silver (3 shared filings), Mezzco Australia LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), Shane Forster (3 shared filings), Adam Wheeler (2 shared filings) and 8 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.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Babson (36 issuers, $62.54B reported sold, 2009–2026) and Gateway Mezzanine (2 issuers, $130.7M reported sold, 2011–2015).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 3 court cases matching the name, 3 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 6 records came back, including 2 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 5 public filings for Michael Hermsen and found 17 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Bankruptcy case: Michael J. Hermsen and Patricia F. Hermsen; Amount sold 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

17 differences found between the filings for Michael Hermsen — 4 worth asking about (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 7, 1995 – Jul 25, 1995

Bankruptcy case: Michael J. Hermsen and Patricia F. Hermsen — filed Apr 7, 1995

United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Nebraska docket "Michael J. Hermsen and Patricia F. Hermsen" filed Apr 7, 1995, closed Jul 25, 1995. Michael Hermsen is listed as Debtor ("Michael J. Hermsen and Patricia F. Hermsen"). Our match estimate: 50%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Worth asking · Apr 18, 2011 – Apr 11, 2012

Amount sold went down between filings — Gateway Mezzanine Partners I, L.P.

The Apr 18, 2011 filing says $48,138,500 sold; the Apr 11, 2012 Form D/A says $44,903,238 sold — $3,235,262 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.

Michael Hermsen appears on 2 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

Tower Square Capital Partners IV-A, L.P. (last filing Feb 4, 2015; $137,270,000 sold of $500,000,000); Gateway Mezzanine Partners I, L.P. (last filing Apr 11, 2013; $72,384,689 sold of $414,784,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Note · Mar 29, 2011 – Apr 11, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Gateway Mezzanine Partners I, L.P. (latest filing Apr 11, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 11, 2013 (first sale Mar 29, 2011). It reports $72,384,689 sold of $414,031,201 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.

Michael Hermsen appears on the Feb 4, 2014 Form D (executive officer) but not on the Feb 4, 2015 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

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 3

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