The short version

Michael Yang is listed as an executive officer and director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Sep 2009 and Apr 2021. Largest by amount reported sold: ViaCyte Inc. (San Diego, CA — biotechnology — 2021; $53.9M reported sold to 55 investors), ND Phoenix, Inc. (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2014–2018; $9.17M reported sold to 29 investors), SABH's Big Adventure Inc. (Los Angeles, CA — other technology — 2016; $6.5M reported sold to 12 investors), Padopolis, Inc. (Los Altos, CA — computers — 2011; $6.1M reported sold to 5 investors), Kiwi Crate Inc. (Mountain View, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2014–2015; $5M reported sold to 40 investors) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 12 years. Across those companies the filings report $80.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside CHRIS ALBINSON (4 shared filings), DAVID STAAS (4 shared filings), John Moragne (4 shared filings), KEVIN MCKENZIE (4 shared filings), MICHAEL FORDYCE (4 shared filings) and 34 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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Greg Capitolo (2 issuers, $1.62M reported sold, 2010–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Greg Capitolo has 2 companies on file and $1.62M 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, 19 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 20 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 10 public filings for Michael Yang and found 10 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 112 days after the first sale; 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

10 differences found between the filings for Michael Yang — 1 worth asking about (compared 10 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jun 25, 2014 – Oct 15, 2014

Form D filed 112 days after the first sale — ND Phoenix, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 25, 2014. The Form D was filed Oct 15, 2014 — 112 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 97 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.

The Dec 26, 2014 filing says $3,000,000 offered; the Feb 13, 2015 Form D/A says $3,500,001.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Same name, different state: "Michael Yang" (A6 or IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Michael Yang" with address state A6 or IL, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by Clearcover, Inc. (Jan 29, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Sep 25, 2009 to Apr 22, 2021; the other runs Nov 25, 2022 to Jan 29, 2025.

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.

"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).
