The short version

Michael Kratzer is listed as an executive officer and director on 2 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Nov 2014 and Mar 2015: City Twig, Inc. (Boca Raton, FL — other technology — 2015; $512K reported sold to 1 investors) and City Twig, Inc. (Encino, CA — other technology — 2014).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director. Across those companies the filings report $512K sold in total.

No other person or management entity is listed on the same filings.

What this means The filings name this person alone — no co-officers, directors or promoters were listed.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group City Twig (2 issuers, $512K reported sold, 2014–2015).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. City Twig has 2 companies on file and $512K 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) — 15 court cases matching the name, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 24 records came back, including 1 court case 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 2 public filings for Michael Kratzer and found 1 difference: Michael Kratzer is listed with 2 different address states: CA, FL.

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

1 difference found between the filings for Michael Kratzer (compared 2 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

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.

5. Money to insiders
