The short version

Stephen R. Hoffenberg is listed as a director on 9 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2014 and Dec 2019: Certa Dose, Inc. (Denver, CO — other health care — 2014–2019; $8.1M reported sold to 38 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Caleb Hernandez (9 shared filings), John Blood (9 shared filings), Larry Miller (4 shared filings), Eric Eisbrenner (3 shared filings), Daniel Hoffman (2 shared filings) and 3 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Stephen. 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, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 4 court cases matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 9 public filings for Stephen R. Hoffenberg and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: None (Not Applicable); 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

9 differences found between the filings for Stephen R. Hoffenberg — 1 worth asking about (compared 9 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 15, 1994 – Mar 26, 1999

3 court cases name Stephen R. Hoffenberg — 1 as defendant

By role: plaintiff in 2, defendant in 1. Newest: "Hoffenberg v. Customer Insight Co" (District Court, D. Colorado, Mar 26, 1999); "Hoffenberg v. TRW Inc" (District Court, N.D. Illinois, Feb 5, 1996); "Shawmut Bank Conn. v. Hoffenberg" (District Court, S.D. New York, Mar 15, 1994). Some of these are name matches with a match estimate below 95% — check each docket.

What this means Several court cases name this subject. Some are routine business suits. Ask what each was about and how it ended.

Sources
Worth asking · Dec 2, 2019

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: None (Not Applicable) — Certa Dose, Inc.

None (Not Applicable) is listed as receiving sales compensation on 2 filings (Dec 2, 2019 to Dec 2, 2019) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · Nov 15, 2019 – Dec 2, 2019

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Certa Dose, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Nov 15, 2019. The Form D was filed Dec 2, 2019 — 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 · Mar 14, 2019 – Mar 20, 2019

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Certa Dose, Inc. (latest filing Mar 20, 2019)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 20, 2019 (first sale Mar 14, 2019). It reports $481,000 sold of $2,000,000 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 · May 26, 2016 – Jun 9, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Certa Dose, Inc. (latest filing Jun 9, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 9, 2016 (first sale May 26, 2016). It reports $550,001 sold of $600,001 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 · Mar 22, 2017 – Dec 29, 2017

Offering amount changed between filings — Certa Dose, Inc.

The Mar 22, 2017 filing says $2,000,000 offered; the Dec 29, 2017 Form D/A says $3,500,000.

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 · Jan 18, 2018 – Jul 17, 2018

Address moved from Spring Branch, TX to Denver, CO — Certa Dose, Inc.

The people listed on the Jan 18, 2018 filing give Spring Branch, TX; on the Jul 17, 2018 filing they give Denver, CO.

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.

Sources
Note · Dec 29, 2017 – Jan 18, 2018

Address moved from Denver, CO to Spring Branch, TX — Certa Dose, Inc.

The people listed on the Dec 29, 2017 filing give Denver, CO; on the Jan 18, 2018 filing they give Spring Branch, TX.

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.

Sources
Note · Dec 31, 2014 – Dec 2, 2019

Stephen R. Hoffenberg is listed with 2 different address states: CO, TX

CO on 8 filings (Dec 31, 2014 to Dec 2, 2019); TX on 1 filing (Jan 18, 2018).

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.

Sources
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).
