The short version

Michael Schnaus is listed as an executive officer and director on 9 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Oct 2017 and Feb 2024: DCA ESG SOLUTIONS II, LLC (Carefree, AZ — investing — 2022; $5.2M reported sold to 3 investors), DCA ESG SOLUTIONS I, LLC (Carefree, AZ — investing — 2022; $4.83M reported sold to 16 investors) and DCA Asset Management, Inc. (Carefree, AZ — investing — 2017–2024; $2.5M reported sold to 9 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 7 years. Across those companies the filings report $12.5M sold in total.

Listed alongside Anthony J Iarocci (9 shared filings), Molly Iarocci (8 shared filings), David Ford (3 shared filings), MIT Associates LLC J. MIT Associates LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), John Patrick Moran (2 shared filings) and 1 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.

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Dca Esg (4 issuers, $10.1M reported sold, 2017–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Dca Esg has 4 companies on file and $10.1M 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) — 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 9 public filings for Michael Schnaus and found 7 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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

7 differences found between the filings for Michael Schnaus — 1 worth asking about (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 1, 2017 – Mar 15, 2022

5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 89 days after the first sale — DCA ESG SOLUTIONS I, LLC · Form D filed 81 days after the first sale — DCA Asset Management, Inc. · Form D filed 78 days after the first sale — DCA Asset Management, Inc. · Form D filed 36 days after the first sale — DCA ESG SOLUTIONS II, LLC · Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — DCA Asset Management, Inc.

What this means Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves. A pattern of late paperwork is worth asking the sponsor about.

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DCA Asset Management, Inc. (latest filing Feb 9, 2024) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DCA ESG SOLUTIONS I, LLC (latest filing Apr 20, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DCA ESG SOLUTIONS II, LLC (latest filing Feb 3, 2022) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DCA Asset Management, Inc. (latest filing Oct 7, 2021) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — DCA Asset Management, Inc. (latest filing Mar 12, 2020) · and 2 more

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Michael Schnaus is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Michael Schnaus" on 7 filings (from Oct 18, 2017), and "Michael J. Schnaus" on 2 filings (from Mar 15, 2022).

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.

Michael Schnaus is listed with 2 different address states: MN, AZ

MN on 3 filings (Oct 18, 2017 to Mar 12, 2020); AZ on 6 filings (Oct 7, 2021 to Feb 9, 2024).

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.

Reported revenue range changed between filings — DCA Asset Management, Inc.

"Decline to Disclose" (Oct 18, 2017); then "$1 - $1,000,000" (Jun 6, 2018); then "Decline to Disclose" (Oct 7, 2021).

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.

Minimum investment changed between filings — DCA ESG SOLUTIONS II, LLC

The Jan 31, 2022 filing lists a minimum of $0; the Feb 3, 2022 Form D/A lists $1,000,000.

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

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).
