The short version

Michael J. Howe is listed as an executive officer on 6 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Apr 2013 and Apr 2018: Horton Capital Partners Fund, L.P. (Philadelphia, PA — pooled investment fund — 2013–2018; $30.7M reported sold to 69 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. 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 David A. Achey (6 shared filings), Horton Capital Management, LLC (6 shared filings, management entity), Horton Capital Partners, LLC (6 shared filings, management entity) and Joseph M. Manko, Jr. (6 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.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Horton (4 issuers, $31.6M reported sold, 2013–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Horton has 4 companies on file and $31.6M 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) — 1 court case matching the name, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 12 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 6 public filings for Michael J. Howe and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Michael J. Howe is no longer listed on the Apr 18, 2019 amendment; 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

4 differences found between the filings for Michael J. Howe — 1 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Apr 20, 2018 – Apr 18, 2019

Michael J. Howe is no longer listed on the Apr 18, 2019 amendment — Horton Capital Partners Fund, L.P.

Michael J. Howe appears on the Apr 20, 2018 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Apr 18, 2019 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.

Form D/A · Apr 20, 2018 ↗Form D/A · Apr 18, 2019 ↗Michael J. Howe — PartnerFacts page ↗Horton Capital Partners Fund, L.P. — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Mar 20, 2013 – Apr 25, 2013

Form D filed 36 days after the first sale — Horton Capital Partners Fund, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 20, 2013. The Form D was filed Apr 25, 2013 — 36 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 21 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 · Oct 1, 2024

Same name, different state: "MICHAEL HOWE" (VT) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is PA. A separate record, "MICHAEL HOWE" with address state VT, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Aprexis Inc. (Oct 1, 2024). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Apr 25, 2013 to Apr 20, 2018; the other has one filing dated Oct 1, 2024.

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.

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).
