The short version

Robert Switz is listed as a director on 8 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Dec 2013 and Mar 2018: RECOMBINETICS, INC (St. Paul, MN — biotechnology — 2016–2018; $33.5M reported sold to 125 investors) and Z&H Hospitality L.L.C. (Minneapolis, MN — restaurants — 2013; $4.05M reported sold to 31 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 5 years. Across those companies the filings report $37.6M sold in total.

Listed alongside John F. Cameron (7 shared filings), Justin Zenanko (7 shared filings), Mark Kroll, Ph.D. (7 shared filings), Wendell King (7 shared filings), Scott C. Fahrenkrug, Ph.D. (6 shared filings) and 18 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Recombinetics (2 issuers, $7.69M reported sold, 2013–2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Recombinetics has 2 companies on file and $7.69M 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 8 public filings for Robert Switz and found 8 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 72 days after the first sale; Robert Switz is no longer listed on the Feb 1, 2019 amendment; 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

8 differences found between the filings for Robert Switz — 2 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 14, 2017 – Apr 27, 2017

Form D filed 72 days after the first sale — RECOMBINETICS, INC

The filing says the first sale was Feb 14, 2017. The Form D was filed Apr 27, 2017 — 72 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 57 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
Worth asking · Jan 11, 2018 – Feb 1, 2019

Robert Switz is no longer listed on the Feb 1, 2019 amendment — RECOMBINETICS, INC

Robert Switz appears on the Jan 11, 2018 Form D/A (director) but not on the Feb 1, 2019 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Sources
Note · Jul 27, 2016 – Aug 23, 2016

Form D filed 27 days after the first sale — RECOMBINETICS, INC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 27, 2016. The Form D was filed Aug 23, 2016 — 27 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 12 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 · Apr 27, 2017 – Jan 11, 2018

Offering amount changed between filings — RECOMBINETICS, INC

The Apr 27, 2017 filing says $8,268,750 offered; the Jan 11, 2018 Form D/A says $27,604,001.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Nov 23, 2013 – Mar 8, 2018

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — RECOMBINETICS, INC (latest filing Mar 8, 2018) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — RECOMBINETICS, INC (latest filing Aug 23, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — RECOMBINETICS, INC (latest filing Jul 8, 2016) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Z&H Hospitality L.L.C. (latest filing Dec 6, 2013)

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

Sources
Note · Nov 6, 2017 – Nov 30, 2020

Same name, different state: "Robert E. Switz" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MN. A separate record, "Robert E. Switz" with address state CA, is listed on 4 filings — most recently by FireEye, Inc. (Nov 30, 2020). Both records have filings in the same period (Nov 6, 2017 to Mar 8, 2018).

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 19, 2011 – Apr 27, 2015

Same name, different state: "Robert Switz" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MN. A separate record, "Robert Switz" with address state CA, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by PULSE ELECTRONICS CORP (Apr 27, 2015). Both records have filings in the same period (Dec 6, 2013 to Apr 27, 2015).

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 29, 2013

Same name, different state: "ROBERT SWITZ" (NH) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MN. A separate record, "ROBERT SWITZ" with address state NH, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (May 29, 2013). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Dec 6, 2013 to Mar 8, 2018; the other has one filing dated May 29, 2013.

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.

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

3 of 5 offerings report sales commissions totalling $1,591,941; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $1,100,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).

Issuers are grouped when their Form D filings share related persons, a management entity or a business address (automatic match from the filings). "Listed" marks the issuers that name Robert Switz.

Same business address

1 other issuer file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

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.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Robert Switz by design.
