The short version

Michael Lee Lerch is listed as an executive officer and director on 58 SEC Form D filings by 28 issuers between Aug 2009 and Aug 2021. Largest by amount reported sold: EVOLUTION FUND LTD SPC Segregated Portfolio M (Santa Monica, CA — pooled investment fund — 2009; $1.51B reported sold to 65 investors), Evo Absolute Return Fund (Crystal Bay, NV — pooled investment fund — 2021; $210.1M reported sold to 38 investors), Japan Opportunities Ltd.

What this means That is a lot of deals — 28 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 12 years. Across those companies the filings report $2.63B sold in total.

Listed alongside Richard George Chisholm (46 shared filings), Adrian John Brindle (6 shared filings), Gavin Hauge Fabian (4 shared filings), Albert Park (3 shared filings), Bradley Heiges (2 shared filings) and 7 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.

27 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Evolution (27 issuers, $2.6B reported sold, 2009–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Evolution has 27 companies on file and $2.6B 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 (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 20 court cases matching the name, 11 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 31 records came back, including 3 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 the newest 50 of 58 public filings for Michael Lee Lerch and found 13 differences, 4 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.

Amount sold went down between filings — Evolution Special Opportunities Ltd. II SPC, Segregated Portfolio C

The Feb 10, 2015 filing says $50,000,000 sold; the Feb 17, 2015 Form D/A says $35,000,000 sold — $15,000,000 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.

Investor count went down between filings — Evolution Special Opportunities Ltd. II SPC, Segregated Portfolio C

The Feb 10, 2015 filing reports 19 investors; the Feb 17, 2015 Form D/A reports 18 investors.

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.

Minimum investment changed between filings — Evo Fund

The Mar 17, 2021 filing lists a minimum of $500,000; the Mar 25, 2021 Form D/A lists $100,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Michael Lee Lerch is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Michael Lee Lerch" on 51 filings (from Oct 15, 2009), and "Michael Lerch" on 3 filings (from Mar 17, 2021).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Note · Mar 17, 2021 – Mar 25, 2021

Industry group changed between filings — Evo Fund

"Investing" (Mar 17, 2021); then "Pooled Investment Fund" (Mar 25, 2021).

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 13, 2016

Same name, different state: "Michael L Lerch" (OH) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or NV. A separate record, "Michael L Lerch" with address state OH, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by MSB Capital Corp (Jan 13, 2016). Both records have filings in the same period (Jan 13, 2016).

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.

The people listed on the Jun 28, 2018 filing give Santa Monica, CA; on the Feb 12, 2019 filing they give Los Angeles, CA.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.

Michael Lee Lerch is listed with 2 different address states: CA, NV

CA on 45 filings (Oct 15, 2009 to Jun 6, 2017); NV on 9 filings (Jan 18, 2018 to Aug 16, 2021).

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
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. We compared the newest 50 of 58 filings (work cap); older filings are not covered here. 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.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Deals 28

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

The team behind the deals

Sponsor group

Evolution

27 issuers · 54 filings · $2.6B reported sold · 2009–2021

One team, 27 deal companies. Michael Lee Lerch is listed on 27 of them.

Sources

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Michael Lee Lerch.

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 28 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.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Michael Lee Lerch by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 28 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
