The short version

Michael R. Self is listed as an executive officer on 11 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Apr 2009 and Aug 2014: Lake Union Capital Fund L P (Seattle, WA — pooled investment fund — 2009–2014; $47.2M reported sold to 85 investors) and LAKE UNION CAPITAL MONTLAKE FUND, LP (Seattle, WA — pooled investment fund — 2011–2014; $13.7M reported sold to 5 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $60.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Lake Union Capital Management, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity).

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.

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Lake Union (2 issuers, $60.9M reported sold, 2009–2014).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Lake Union has 2 companies on file and $60.9M 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) — 4 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 4 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 11 public filings for Michael R. Self and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 367 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

8 differences found between the filings for Michael R. Self — 1 worth asking about (compared 11 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Oct 3, 2011 – Oct 4, 2012

Form D filed 367 days after the first sale — LAKE UNION CAPITAL MONTLAKE FUND, LP

The filing says the first sale was Oct 3, 2011. The Form D was filed Oct 4, 2012 — 367 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 352 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D · Oct 4, 2012 ↗LAKE UNION CAPITAL MONTLAKE FUND, LP — PartnerFacts page ↗

Note · Sep 1, 2003 – Aug 15, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Lake Union Capital Fund L P (latest filing Aug 15, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 15, 2014 (first sale Sep 1, 2003). It reports $47,237,254 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

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.
