The short version

Stephen Smith is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 12 SEC Form D filings by 5 issuers between May 2011 and May 2022: MicroPower Technologies, Inc. (San Diego, CA — other technology — 2013–2015; $7.5M reported sold to 35 investors), ALLDIGITAL HOLDINGS, INC. (Irvine, CA — other technology — 2013; $4.5M reported sold to 58 investors), StoryFile, LLC (Los Angeles, CA — industry reported as "Other" — 2020; $3.45M reported sold to 9 investors), PACKET DESIGN INC (Santa Clara, CA — telecommunications — 2011–2012; $2M reported sold to 20 investors) and SimplyPut Corp (San Francisco, CA — other technology — 2022; $1.94M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 5 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 11 years. Across those companies the filings report $19.4M sold in total.

Listed alongside Jack Bradley (6 shared filings), Judith Estrin (6 shared filings), Robert Hower (6 shared filings), Yogen Dalal (6 shared filings), Hossein Eslambolchi (5 shared filings) and 13 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.

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Storyfile (2 issuers, $2.65M reported sold, 2020–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Storyfile has 2 companies on file and $2.65M 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 (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) — 6 court cases matching the name, 17 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 23 records came back, including 5 court cases still open — open cases can take years and cost money. 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 12 public filings for Stephen Smith and found 7 differences: Form D filed 45 days after the first sale; 10 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and 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

7 differences found between the filings for Stephen Smith (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Aug 14, 2020 – Sep 28, 2020

Form D filed 45 days after the first sale — StoryFile, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Aug 14, 2020. The Form D was filed Sep 28, 2020 — 45 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 30 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.

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Stephen K Smith" with address state ME, is listed on 5 filings — most recently by SB Acquisition Company, Inc. (Nov 18, 2013). Both records have filings in the same period (May 25, 2011 to Nov 18, 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: "Stephen M. Smith" (PA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "Stephen M. Smith" with address state PA, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Hozzle Rocket, LLC (Feb 1, 2012). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs May 25, 2011 to May 25, 2022; the other runs Aug 18, 2010 to Aug 30, 2010.

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.

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).

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); KY (Kentucky Secretary of State — Business Entity Search (sosbes.sos.ky.gov), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 5 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)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Stephen Smith by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 5 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
