The short version

Paula Schmitz is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Oct 2009 and Apr 2020: Octavo Systems LLC (Sugar Land, TX — computers — 2020; $7.7M reported sold to 9 investors) and ADDITECH INC (Houston, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2009–2014; $5.43M reported sold to 13 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $13.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Christopher Kirchen (5 shared filings), Mitch Telson (5 shared filings), Ralph W. Koehrer (5 shared filings), Andrew J. Austin (3 shared filings), Martin Neath (3 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 Paula. 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, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, 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 6 public filings for Paula Schmitz and found 15 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: 27% of the money raised went to insiders; Form D filed 218 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

15 differences found between the filings for Paula Schmitz — 2 worth asking about (compared 6 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 23, 2013 – Mar 26, 2014

Bankruptcy case: Neath-Turpin v. USAA Federal Savings Bank — filed Jul 23, 2013

United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. North Carolina docket "Neath-Turpin v. USAA Federal Savings Bank" filed Jul 23, 2013, closed Mar 26, 2014. Martin Neath (listed on the same filings) is listed as Plaintiff ("Neath-Turpin"). Our match estimate: 70%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Apr 13, 2020

27% of the money raised went to insiders — Octavo Systems LLC

The Apr 13, 2020 Form D/A reports $7,700,000 sold and $2,100,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters (marked as an estimate). Issuer's note: "Estimate of salaries to be paid to executive officers and repayment of corporate overhead allocation".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Worth asking · Mar 11, 2009 – Oct 15, 2009

Form D filed 218 days after the first sale — ADDITECH INC

The filing says the first sale was Mar 11, 2009. The Form D was filed Oct 15, 2009 — 218 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 203 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.

Note · Jan 19, 2018 – Apr 13, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Octavo Systems LLC (latest filing Apr 13, 2020)

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 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 · Aug 8, 2011 – Dec 18, 2014

Paula Schmitz's role changed at ADDITECH INC: executive officer → executive officer, director

The Aug 8, 2011 filing lists Paula Schmitz as executive officer; the Dec 18, 2014 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Note · Feb 19, 2019 – Apr 13, 2020

Offering amount changed between filings — Octavo Systems LLC

The Feb 19, 2019 filing says $7,500,000 offered; the Apr 13, 2020 Form D/A says $9,500,000.

Offering amount changed between filings — ADDITECH INC

The Aug 11, 2010 filing says $5,000,000 offered; the Aug 8, 2011 Form D/A says $5,952,804.

"$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (Oct 15, 2009); then "Decline to Disclose" (Dec 18, 2014).

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.

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.
