The short version

Ted Serbinski is listed as an executive officer and director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Feb 2013 and Jul 2014: Detroit Venture Partners, L.P. (Detroit, MI — pooled investment fund — 2013–2014; $55.3M reported sold to 41 investors), Choremonster Inc. (Cincinnati, OH — computers — 2014; $2.69M reported sold to 17 investors), Are You a Human, LLC (Detroit, MI — computers — 2014; $1.81M reported sold to 10 investors) and UpTo, Inc. (Detroit, MI — other technology — 2013–2014; $550K reported sold to 3 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director. Across those companies the filings report $60.3M sold in total.

Listed alongside Josh Linkner (5 shared filings), Jacob Cohen (3 shared filings), BRIAN HERMELIN (2 shared filings), Chris Bergman (2 shared filings), DVP General Partners Fund I, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity) and 10 others.

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

1 of the issuers belongs to the sponsor group Group linked by Brian Hermelin (9 issuers, $772M reported sold, 2013–2024).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by Brian Hermelin has 9 companies on file and $772M 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) — 1 court case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 1 record 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 7 public filings for Ted Serbinski and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Ted Serbinski is no longer listed on the Mar 18, 2015 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 Ted Serbinski — 1 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Jul 9, 2014 – Mar 18, 2015

Ted Serbinski is no longer listed on the Mar 18, 2015 amendment — Choremonster Inc.

Ted Serbinski appears on the Jul 9, 2014 Form D (director) but not on the Mar 18, 2015 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 · Jun 3, 2013 – Jul 10, 2013

Form D filed 37 days after the first sale — Detroit Venture Partners, L.P.

The filing says the first sale was Jun 3, 2013. The Form D was filed Jul 10, 2013 — 37 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 22 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 · Jul 9, 2014 – Mar 18, 2015

Offering amount changed between filings — Choremonster Inc.

The Jul 9, 2014 filing says $1,000,000 offered; the Mar 18, 2015 Form D/A says $1,630,036.

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 · Jul 10, 2013 – Jun 17, 2014

Offering amount changed between filings — Detroit Venture Partners, L.P.

The Jul 10, 2013 filing says $50,000,000 offered; the Jun 17, 2014 Form D/A says $70,000,000.

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 · Jun 3, 2013 – Jun 17, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Detroit Venture Partners, L.P. (latest filing Jun 17, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 17, 2014 (first sale Jun 3, 2013). It reports $55,260,521 sold of $70,000,000 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 2, 2014 – May 13, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Are You a Human, LLC (latest filing May 13, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 13, 2014 (first sale May 2, 2014). It reports $1,808,333 sold of $3,208,333 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 · Feb 20, 2013 – Feb 28, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — UpTo, Inc. (latest filing Feb 28, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 28, 2013 (first sale Feb 20, 2013). It reports $475,000 sold of $1,500,000 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 · Aug 2, 2013 – May 7, 2014

Minimum investment changed between filings — Choremonster Inc.

The Aug 2, 2013 filing lists a minimum of $25,000; the May 7, 2014 Form D/A lists $10,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

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.
