The short version

William S Mitchell is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 5 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Jul 2017 and Mar 2023: Vetro, Inc. (Portland, ME — other technology — 2020–2023; $8.25M reported sold to 22 investors) and NBT Solutions, LLC (Portland, ME — industry reported as "Other" — 2017; $773K reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 6 years. Across those companies the filings report $9.02M sold in total.

Listed alongside G Corson Ellis (4 shared filings), Joshua Broder (4 shared filings), Sean Myers (4 shared filings), Frank Governali (3 shared filings), Michaela Goodwin (3 shared filings) and 1 others.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Nbt (2 issuers, $7.77M reported sold, 2017–2023).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Nbt has 2 companies on file and $7.77M 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 SEC release, 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 5 public filings for William S Mitchell and found 11 differences: Form D filed 25 days after the first sale; Form D filed 38 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 William S Mitchell (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Mar 3, 2023 – Mar 28, 2023

Form D filed 25 days after the first sale — Vetro, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 3, 2023. The Form D was filed Mar 28, 2023 — 25 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 10 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 · May 21, 2021 – Jun 28, 2021

Form D filed 38 days after the first sale — Vetro, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was May 21, 2021. The Form D was filed Jun 28, 2021 — 38 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 23 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 · Jun 12, 2020 – Jun 28, 2021

William S Mitchell's role changed at Vetro, Inc.: executive officer, director, promoter → executive officer, director

The Jun 12, 2020 filing lists William S Mitchell as executive officer, director, promoter; the Jun 28, 2021 Form D lists executive officer, director.

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 · May 5, 2020 – Jun 12, 2020

Offering amount changed between filings — Vetro, Inc.

The May 5, 2020 filing says $2,700,000 offered; the Jun 12, 2020 Form D/A says $3,675,000.

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 · Apr 24, 2020 – Jun 12, 2020

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Vetro, Inc. (latest filing Jun 12, 2020)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 12, 2020 (first sale Apr 24, 2020). It reports $2,110,990 sold of $3,675,000 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 · Jun 27, 2017 – Jul 6, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — NBT Solutions, LLC (latest filing Jul 6, 2017)

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.
