The short version

Rick Ehrman is listed as a director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jan 2013 and Aug 2026: Vertical Insure, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN — other technology — 2025–2026; $21M reported sold to 14 investors) and JobDig Inc (Minneapolis, MN — industry reported as "Other" — 2013; $1M reported sold to 6 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 13 years. Across those companies the filings report $22M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brock Noland (2 shared filings), Charles Wyatt (2 shared filings), Greg Beaufait (2 shared filings), Jeffrey Hinck (2 shared filings), Craig Ibsen (1 shared filing) and 11 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Rick. Each name links to their own page.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Justin Kaufenberg (5 issuers, $72.8M reported sold, 2009–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Justin Kaufenberg has 5 companies on file and $72.8M 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 3 public filings for Rick Ehrman and found 5 differences: Form D filed 17 days after the first sale; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Rick Ehrman (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jul 31, 2026 – Aug 17, 2026

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Vertical Insure, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Jul 31, 2026. The Form D was filed Aug 17, 2026 — 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 26, 2012 – Jan 4, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — JobDig Inc (latest filing Jan 4, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 4, 2013 (first sale Dec 26, 2012). It reports $603,819 sold of $1,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 12, 2025 – Aug 17, 2026

Industry group changed between filings — Vertical Insure, Inc.

"Other Banking and Financial Services" (Jun 12, 2025); then "Other Technology" (Aug 17, 2026).

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 · May 18, 2026

Same name, different state: "Rick Ehrman" (IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MN. A separate record, "Rick Ehrman" with address state IL, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by StreamLayer Inc. (May 18, 2026). Both records have filings in the same period (May 18, 2026).

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.

Note · May 23, 2022

Same name, different state: "Rick Ehrman" (A6) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MN. A separate record, "Rick Ehrman" with address state A6, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Anthem Sports & Entertainment Inc. (May 23, 2022). Both records have filings in the same period (May 23, 2022).

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.

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.

5. Money to insiders

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 2 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.
