The short version

MICHAEL S. PERLIS is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 8 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Oct 2010 and Jun 2016: Spanfeller Media Group, Inc. (New York, NY — other technology — 2010–2016; $5.91M reported sold to 19 investors) and Tango Publishing Corp (New York, NY — other technology — 2011–2013; $1.47M reported sold to 14 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $7.38M sold in total.

Listed alongside JAMES J. SPANFELLER, JR. (6 shared filings), Brian Hirsch (5 shared filings), Jordan Levy (5 shared filings), Richard Harroch (3 shared filings), Andrea Miller (2 shared filings) and 8 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.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 8 public filings for MICHAEL S. PERLIS and found 11 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 316 days after the first sale; Form D filed 92 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

11 differences found between the filings for MICHAEL S. PERLIS — 2 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 29, 2012 – Jul 11, 2013

Form D filed 316 days after the first sale — Tango Publishing Corp

The filing says the first sale was Aug 29, 2012. The Form D was filed Jul 11, 2013 — 316 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 301 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.

Sources
Worth asking · Jul 14, 2010 – Oct 14, 2010

Form D filed 92 days after the first sale — Spanfeller Media Group, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 14, 2010. The Form D was filed Oct 14, 2010 — 92 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 77 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.

MICHAEL S. PERLIS is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Michael S. Perlis" on 4 filings (from Oct 14, 2010), and "Michael Perlis" on 4 filings (from Aug 17, 2011).

Sources
Note · Oct 14, 2010 – Mar 5, 2015

Industry group changed between filings — Spanfeller Media Group, Inc.

"Other" (Oct 14, 2010 to Oct 18, 2012); then "Other Technology" (Mar 5, 2015 to Jun 14, 2016).

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 · Oct 14, 2010 – Oct 18, 2012

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Spanfeller Media Group, Inc.

"No Revenues" (Oct 14, 2010); then "Decline to Disclose" (Aug 4, 2011); then "No Revenues" (Aug 4, 2011); then "Decline to Disclose" (Oct 18, 2012).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Same name, different state: "Michael Perlis" (TX) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY or CT. A separate record, "Michael Perlis" with address state TX, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Hart Energy Publishing LLC (May 2, 2023). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 14, 2010 to Oct 18, 2012; the other runs Apr 13, 2017 to May 2, 2023.

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.

Same name, different state: "Michael Perlis" (MA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NY or CT. A separate record, "Michael Perlis" with address state MA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by ASSOCIATED CONTENT INC (Apr 21, 2009). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Oct 14, 2010 to Oct 18, 2012; the other has one filing dated Apr 21, 2009.

MICHAEL S. PERLIS is listed with 2 different address states: NY, CT

NY on 7 filings (Oct 14, 2010 to Jun 14, 2016); CT on 1 filing (Jul 11, 2013).

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. 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).

Deals 2
