The short version

Steven Schwartz is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 12 SEC Form D filings by 8 issuers between Mar 2015 and Dec 2025. Largest by amount reported sold: Torchlight Debt Opportunity Fund V, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2015–2016; $1.32B reported sold to 35 investors), Posh Group Inc. (New York, NY — other technology — 2024–2025; $35.8M reported sold to 13 investors), VA Pro 7 SNF Operations Holdings LLC (Woodmere, NY — other health care — 2023; $32M reported sold to 18 investors), Hekla Partners, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2022–2025; $1.63M reported sold to 27 investors), H.I.G. REALTY CREDIT REIT, LLC (New York, NY — reits and finance — 2024; $125K reported sold to 125 investors) and 3 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 8 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 10 years. Across those companies the filings report $1.39B sold in total.

Listed alongside Alec Prostok (4 shared filings), Hekla Management, LLC (4 shared filings, management entity), Hekla GP (3 shared filings, management entity), Avante Price (2 shared filings), Daniel Heflin (2 shared filings) and 14 others.

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

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Hekla (2 issuers, $1.63M reported sold, 2022–2025) and Torchlight (12 issuers, $5.26B reported sold, 2012–2024).

What this means This person is listed across more than one sponsor team; each group page shows that team's full track record.

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 SEC releases, 9 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 15 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 12 public filings for Steven Schwartz and found 11 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 157 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

11 differences found between the filings for Steven Schwartz — 1 worth asking about (compared 12 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 26, 1998 – Aug 8, 2000

Bankruptcy case: Richard C. Breeden, Esq. v. Mestel — filed Mar 26, 1998

United States Bankruptcy Court, N.D. New York docket "Richard C. Breeden, Esq. v. Mestel" filed Mar 26, 1998, closed Aug 8, 2000. Michael Mestel (listed on the same filings) is listed as Defendant ("Mestel"). 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
Note · Oct 21, 2019

Steven Schwartz appears on 1 deal that stopped filing before reaching its target

Varfaj Ventures LLC (last filing Oct 21, 2019; $0 sold of $1,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Sources
Worth asking · Feb 18, 2022 – Jul 25, 2022

Form D filed 157 days after the first sale — Hekla Partners, LP

The filing says the first sale was Feb 18, 2022. The Form D was filed Jul 25, 2022 — 157 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 142 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 · Feb 18, 2022 – Jan 31, 2025

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hekla Partners, LP (latest filing Jan 31, 2025)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jan 31, 2025 (first sale Feb 18, 2022). It reports $1,628,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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 12, 2015 – Mar 24, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Torchlight Debt Opportunity Fund V, LP (latest filing Mar 24, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 24, 2016 (first sale Mar 12, 2015). It reports $1,324,000,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

Note · Jan 10, 2024 – Jan 31, 2025

Address moved from Brooklyn, NY to New York, NY — Hekla Partners, LP

The people listed on the Jan 10, 2024 filing give Brooklyn, NY; on the Jan 31, 2025 filing they give New York, NY.

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
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).

Deals 8

Every issuer that named Steven Schwartz on a Form D, newest first. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment.

Same business address

51 other issuers file from the same address (first 50 shown)

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

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 8 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 Steven Schwartz 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 8 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
