The prior citation (builtinaustin.com) is refused and dropped. The Form D's yearOfInc carries only <overFiveYears>true</overFiveYears> (incorporated before ~2020), not a year. apptronik.com publishes no /about or /company page (both 404) and no founding year on its home page.

Public listing

Regulatory filing · 22 Sep 2026

Apptronik, Inc. (CIK 1918029) files only Form D private-placement notices (2022, 2023, 2025); no Section 12 registration. The prior EDGAR-search note was itself imprecise -- a filer DOES exist, just not a public-securities one.
