SEC Form D Filings – Startup Funding Leads from EDGAR

Pull new SEC Form D filings (private placements by startups and funds) straight from EDGAR and get them as clean startup funding leads: issuer, phone, executives, offering size, amount sold and a direct EDGAR link.

Tested against SEC EDGAR: in our 14 Oct 2026 audit, 25 of 25 output records matched each filing's own primary_doc.xml and the data.sec.gov submissions JSON.

Turns new Form D filings (companies and funds raising private capital) into clean lead records: issuer name, CIK, address, phone, related persons (executives, directors, promoters), total offering, amount sold, amount remaining, industry, filing date and direct EDGAR link. The data comes straight from EDGAR, refreshed daily, with no cache in between.

Use cases

1. Outbound for B2B SaaS and agencies. Each morning, get US companies that just raised $1M or more in tech.

   {"states": [], "industryGroups": ["Other Technology"], "minOfferingAmount": 1000000, "enriched": true, "maxItems": 200}
   

   Leave dateFrom empty to use the default (7 days ago). Schedule the run daily.
2. Fractional CFO, fund admin and legal services. Get a weekly list of newly funded companies in your state, e.g. {"states": ["CA", "NY"], "minOfferingAmount": 500000}.

• Module names follow Apify's docs. Confirm the exact labels in each tool.

Inputs

Date range (defaults to last 7 days), issuer states, industry groups (exact Form D names), min/max offering size, include and merge amendments, max results, User-Agent (strongly recommended: SEC fair access asks for your own company name and a monitored contact email; if empty, the run falls back to the publisher contact and logs a warning), max requests/s (default 5, hard cap 10), throttle behaviour (default: fail immediately with a clear message, or cool down ≥10 min and resume; default run timeout is 1800 s), and re-check filings (refresh specific CIK/ACCESSION filings to catch post-acceptance corrections or removals; output includes dateFiled, fileNumber, originalAccessionNumber and the full accession history). Default max results: 25.

Amendments and offerings

With amendments on, every D and D/A filing that shares an SEC file number becomes one record per offering that carries the latest values. The record lists originalAccessionNumber, amendmentAccessionNumbers, every accessionNumbers entry, amendmentCount and firstFiledDate. If a D/A falls inside your date range, the actor pulls the issuer's full filing history from the SEC submissions JSON with no date limit. That brings in the original D and every earlier amendment, even ones filed years ago, while staying under the same rate cap. Newer amendments filed after dateTo are listed in newerFilingsAfterWindow.

Output

One row per offering, newest first, with the same field names on every row. Base fields: issuerName, cik, industryGroup, issuer address and issuerPhone, contactName (first related person), investorsCount (integer), totalOfferingAmount, totalOfferingIndefinite (true when the issuer reported "Indefinite"; the amount is then null), totalAmountSold, totalRemaining, isAmendment, formType, dateFiled, firstFiledDate, fileNumber, the accession numbers, filingUrl, primaryDocUrl, recheckStatus (null in normal runs), newerFilingsAfterWindow and scrapedAt (UTC). Amounts are in USD. A value the filer left blank is null.

Enriched mode adds: relatedPersons (array of {name, relationships[], city, state, clarification}, deduped), relatedPersonsCount, entityType, jurisdictionOfInc, yearOfInc, revenueRange, dateOfFirstSale, exemptions, minimumInvestment, percentSold, offeringSizeBucket, industryCategory and amountsCurrency.

Without "Include & merge amendments", only original Form D filings are returned (D/A amendments are skipped). Dates follow EDGAR, which uses US Eastern time; the default range is the last 7 days in US Eastern time.

What we fix compared with other Form D scrapers

Common complaint	This actor
Stale or cached data	Queries live EDGAR full-text search on every run
Missing phone / related persons / amounts	Parses each filing's primary_doc.xml for all of them
Silent failures, empty runs with no reason	Clear status messages (bad User-Agent → 403 explanation, invalid dates, "0 matched, widen filters"), plus run stats saved to RUN_STATS
Duplicates	Deduped by accession number
Pagination stops at the first page	Pages through every result, and automatically splits large date ranges to get past EDGAR's 10,000-hits-per-query limit
IP bans	Declared User-Agent plus Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, 5 req/s by default (cap 10), exponential backoff on 5xx, and a ≥10-minute cool-down on 429 or throttle 403 in line with SEC policy (or fail fast if configured)
Duplicate amendment rows	D/A amendments merged per offering

Pricing (pay-per-event)

• filing-result: $0.0025 per filing for base fields per offering (issuer, CIK, address, phone, first contact, investor count, amounts, date, accession numbers, links)
• filing-enriched: $0.006 per filing when enriched: true. Adds related persons deduped with their roles merged, normalized amounts (percent sold, computed remaining, size bucket), industry group and category, entity type, exemptions, minimum investment, and revenue range.
• Actor start: Apify's default synthetic apify-actor-start event (platform default price).
• Only filings that pass your filters are billed per result, and each filing carries exactly one result event. Billing errors are logged and reported in the status message and RUN_STATS.chargeErrors. Event definitions are in .actor/pay_per_event.json.

Responsible use

Filings name executives because the law requires it. You're responsible for having a lawful basis for any contact. Don't use this for unsolicited mass messaging (Apify Acceptable Use Policy).

Source & disclaimer

Data comes from SEC EDGAR public filings (sec.gov). Source: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Requests identify themselves with a User-Agent and stay within SEC's fair-access limits.

The data is public filings from the U.S. EDGAR system. This actor follows the SEC fair-access policy: it sends a declared User-Agent naming you and a contact email (the userAgent input; please set your own), adds Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, and never goes above 10 requests/second.

No SEC seal, logos or artwork are used.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC.

Limitations

EDGAR full-text search returns at most 10,000 hits per query; the actor splits large ranges into smaller windows automatically (a single day above 10,000 filings would be logged and counted in RUN_STATS.truncatedDays, which has never happened for Form D). Large ranges with industry or amount filters read one document per offering, so expect several minutes for multi-month ranges. EDGAR is closed on US federal holidays and weekends, so those days return no filings. State and industry filters apply to the issuer's business address and the industry group the issuer declared.
