The short version

Timothy Root is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Jul 2009 and May 2011: Vgo Communications, Inc. (Nashua, NH — other technology — 2009–2011; $4.26M reported sold to 11 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 Nina Saberi (4 shared filings), Thomas Ryden (4 shared filings), Brad Kayton (3 shared filings), Grinnell More (3 shared filings) and Bruce Ryan (1 shared filing).

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

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Vgo (2 issuers, $4.59M reported sold, 2009–2013).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Vgo has 2 companies on file and $4.59M 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) — 13 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 13 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 4 public filings for Timothy Root and found 5 differences: Timothy Root's role changed at Vgo Communications, Inc.: executive officer, director → executive officer; Offering amount changed between filings; 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

5 differences found between the filings for Timothy Root (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Oct 8, 2010 – May 17, 2011

Timothy Root's role changed at Vgo Communications, Inc.: executive officer, director → executive officer

The Oct 8, 2010 filing lists Timothy Root as executive officer, director; the May 17, 2011 Form D lists executive officer.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Jul 24, 2009 – Feb 18, 2010

Offering amount changed between filings — Vgo Communications, Inc.

The Jul 24, 2009 filing says $1,200,000 offered; the Feb 18, 2010 Form D says $4,326,565.

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 · May 9, 2011 – May 17, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vgo Communications, Inc. (latest filing May 17, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 17, 2011 (first sale May 9, 2011). It reports $4,255,949 sold of $6,000,000 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 · Sep 27, 2010 – Oct 8, 2010

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vgo Communications, Inc. (latest filing Oct 8, 2010)

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.
