The short version

Michael Sekits is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 7 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Jun 2009 and Feb 2020: STRANDVIEW GROWTH FUND, LP (El Segundo, CA — pooled investment fund — 2017; $10.1M reported sold to 30 investors), American Advisors Group (Orange, CA — other banking and financial services — 2009–2013; $4M reported sold to 7 investors), Strandview Coverance SPV, LP (El Segundo, CA — pooled investment fund — 2020; $755K reported sold to 3 investors) and Strandview Annex Fund LP (El Segundo, CA — pooled investment fund — 2019).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $14.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Christopher Mullins (4 shared filings), Reza Jahangiri (4 shared filings), Strandview Capital, LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), Strandview Partners, LLC (3 shared filings, management entity), Joseph Wakem (1 shared filing) and 2 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.

3 of the issuers belong to the sponsor group Strandview (5 issuers, $12.3M reported sold, 2017–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Strandview has 5 companies on file and $12.3M 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 7 public filings for Michael Sekits and found 8 differences: Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; Form D filed 31 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.

8 differences found between the filings for Michael Sekits (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 13, 2017 – Mar 30, 2017

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — STRANDVIEW GROWTH FUND, LP

The filing says the first sale was Mar 13, 2017. The Form D was filed Mar 30, 2017 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 30, 2011 – Jan 30, 2012

Form D filed 31 days after the first sale — American Advisors Group

The filing says the first sale was Dec 30, 2011. The Form D was filed Jan 30, 2012 — 31 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 16 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 latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 11, 2020 (first sale Feb 6, 2020). It reports $755,000 sold of $3,000,000 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.

Note · Mar 20, 2009 – May 6, 2013

Same name, different state: "Michael Sekits" (NY or FL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Michael Sekits" with address state NY or FL, is listed on 6 filings — most recently by BlockGen Corp. (Mar 7, 2024). Both records have filings in the same period (Jun 25, 2009 to May 6, 2013).

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.

Same name, different state: "Michael J. Sekits" (TX) is a separate record

Address moved from Irvine, CA to Orange, CA — American Advisors Group

The people listed on the Jan 20, 2010 filing give Irvine, CA; on the Jan 30, 2012 filing they give Orange, 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.

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).
