Certain Affinity, LLC

The short version

Certain Affinity, LLC is a limited liability company organized in Texas (formed 2017), based in Austin, TX.

What this means A deal company is usually set up for one investment; its Form D is the notice it files after selling to investors.

It has filed 1 Form D filing (Aug 9, 2017) for 1 offering, other technology under Rule 506(b): $5M sold of $5M offered to 1 investor, first sale Jul 25, 2017.

What this means 100% of the target was sold by the filing date — about $5M per investor. Rule 506(b) means no public advertising; up to 35 non-accredited investors may take part.

Key people as listed: Max Hoberman (executive officer and director).

What this means A one-person team on paper — these are the people the company itself named as running or promoting it. Tap a name to see every other deal they are on.

No sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders are reported. No sales-compensation recipients are listed.

What this means No broker was paid — the sponsor sold it directly to investors.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; no amendment on file; latest filing Aug 9, 2017.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year — this deal company may be done raising, or simply quiet.

Searched SEC Form ADV bulk data (registered + exempt reporting advisers) (24,962 records as of Oct 2, 2026, 8:00 AM ET) — nothing matched Certain Affinity, LLC.

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), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 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.

What was searched

Sources searched: CourtListener bulk data (RECAP dockets as of 2026-09-30; recall-first rule 10-24) — federal district + bankruptcy courts State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). PACER: not searched. · Last checked Oct 24, 2026, 2:13 AM ET.

Court records show docket facts only; we never restate allegations as facts. Outcome wording comes from the docket feed; where it does not state a disposition we say so.

State courts: not covered (one-tap state court links under Look further). No state offers a lawful automated statewide source PartnerFacts can use today. Texas (re:SearchTX) terms prohibit storing results in a database open to third parties; New York (WebCivil) and Massachusetts (MassCourts) require a browser check that blocks scripted queries; California has no statewide index (58 county portals; Rule of Court 2.503 grants name-based access case by case); Florida, Utah and Illinois offer paid or partial access whose terms for automated use are unverified. Washington (dw.courts.wa.gov; bulk index reports under a JISC data-dissemination agreement), Delaware (CourtConnect; Court of Chancery not included) and Arizona (apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess, which has an official channel to request high-volume access) are the candidates; PartnerFacts will request written permission before any automated search.

4. Differences between public sources

No comparisons published

What is compared

No public statement by this issuer has been collected yet, so there is nothing to compare. Sources compared: the sponsor's own website (known from the issuer's own filings — Form C issuer website, EDGAR company profile — an approved profile claim or Form ADV Item 1.I of its matched adviser) · SEC Form D · SEC Form ADV (IAPD) · Internet Archive · No website is on file for this issuer yet.

No differences found between the public filings we have for Certain Affinity, LLC (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026).

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.

5. Money to insiders

None reported on 1 offering — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

Per-offering detail

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Aug 9, 2017 D File 021-292440	$0	$0	$0	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

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.
