SEC Form D Private Raises Feed

A daily feed of private capital raises taken from SEC Form D filings. It returns one clean JSON record per filing: who is raising, how much, how much is already sold, the industry, the state, the executives and promoters named on the form, and the issuer's phone number as filed.

The feed does the filtering that makes raw Form D data usable:

• Funds are removed by default. About two-thirds of Form D filings come from private funds and SPVs, and excludeFunds is on unless you turn it off.
• Real estate can go too. Real estate syndications are about a third of what is left. excludeIndustries: ["Real Estate", "Investing"] leaves operating companies only.
• New raises are split from amendments. Form D is a new raise and Form D/A is an amendment, and each record says which.
• First-time issuers are flagged. A company filing its first Form D ever gets first_time_issuer: true, checked against its full EDGAR filing history.
• Amounts are normalized. Dollar amounts come back as numbers, with a flag when the offering size is "Indefinite".

Data comes straight from the SEC's public EDGAR systems. There is no login, no API key and no scraping of other sites.

Who uses it: VC and angel scouts, startup-lending and SaaS sales teams (new raises are fresh budget), fund administrators and law firms watching competitors, journalists covering local funding, and AI agents that need "who raised money this week in Texas biotech".

What you get

One record per Form D filing that matches your filters. The main fields:

Field	Example	Notes
record_type	raise	raise for filings. A notice row is a free explanation, e.g. when nothing matched
accession_number	0002153849-26-000001	SEC accession number, the unique filing ID
form	D	D = new notice, D/A = amendment
filing_type	new	new or amendment
amends_accession	null	for D/A, the filing it amends
filed_date	2026-09-18	EDGAR filing date
first_time_issuer	true	no earlier Form D or D/A by this issuer on EDGAR (false for every D/A, null if the history lookup failed)

issuer_name	SovAI, Inc.
entity_type, jurisdiction_of_inc, year_of_inc, incorporation_age	Corporation, DELAWARE, 2026, within 5 years
issuer_street, issuer_city, issuer_state, issuer_zip	Dana Point, CA	principal place of business as filed (issuer_state is a US state or EDGAR country code)
issuer_location	CALIFORNIA	state or country name as filed (early 2009-era filings leave it out, so it is filled from the EDGAR code, e.g. E9 = CAYMAN ISLANDS)
issuer_phone	949-836-3389	issuer phone number exactly as filed
industry_group / industry_sector	Other Technology / Technology	Form D industry group and its sector
is_fund, fund_type	false, null	true when the industry is "Pooled Investment Fund", the filing claims the 3(c)(1) / 3(c)(7) private-fund exclusion, or the securities offered include "Pooled investment fund interests"; fund_type e.g. Venture Capital Fund, Hedge Fund
offering_amount_usd	6000000	total offering size (null when Indefinite)
offering_amount_indefinite	false	true when the issuer filed "Indefinite"
amount_sold_usd / amount_remaining_usd	1500000 / 4500000	cumulative for the whole offering so far. On a D/A this is the lifetime total, not new money since the last filing
percent_sold	25.0	sold ÷ offering × 100 (also cumulative)
minimum_investment_usd, investors_count	50000, 1
has_non_accredited_investors, non_accredited_investors_count	false, null
date_of_first_sale, first_sale_yet_to_occur, more_than_one_year	2026-08-21, false, false

related_persons	list	executives, directors and promoters as filed: name, relationships, clarification, city, state
related_persons_text	Joe David Doyle (Executive Officer, Director, Promoter); ...	the same list flattened for CSV/Sheets
co_issuers	[]	other issuers on the same filing
signer_name, signer_title, signature_date	Mark Waldron, President
filing_url	link	the human-readable form on sec.gov
filing_index_url, xml_url	links	filing index page and raw XML
source	efts	efts (EDGAR full-text search) or daily-index (fallback)

Every row, including notice rows, has the same columns, so CSV and Excel exports stay aligned. Street addresses of individuals are left out. Only their city and state are kept, and the full filing is one click away via filing_url.

Input

Every field is optional. Empty input {} returns up to 20 non-fund raises from the last 2 business days (at most $0.405).

Field	Type	Default	What it does
dateFrom	date	2 business days ago	First filing date, YYYY-MM-DD. Also accepts 7 days (= 7 days ago) or yesterday
dateTo	date	today	Last filing date. Range is capped at 366 days
filingType	all / new / amendments	all	new = Form D only (new raises), amendments = Form D/A only
excludeFunds	boolean	true	Drop pooled investment funds and SPVs: industry "Pooled Investment Fund", a 3(c)(1) / 3(c)(7) private-fund exclusion, or securities offered marked "Pooled investment fund interests". Other 3(c) items alone (3(c)(5) real estate lenders, 3(c)(6), 3(c)(9) oil and gas programs) do not make a filing a fund
firstTimeOnly	boolean	false	Only issuers filing their first-ever Form D (implies new)
minAmount	integer (USD)	none	Minimum total offering size. For "Indefinite" offerings the amount already sold is used
states	list	all	CA, New York, US, foreign, an EDGAR country code (E9), or a country or province such as Canada, Israel, Cayman Islands, Ontario. Unknown entries are skipped with a warning; if none is known, the run explains and charges nothing
industries	list	all	Sectors (Technology, Health Care, Real Estate, Energy, ...) or Form D groups (Biotechnology, Oil and Gas, ...). tech works too, and biotech means Biotechnology + Pharmaceuticals. Form D has no fintech group, so fintech means Other Banking and Financial Services + Other Technology
excludeIndustries	list	none	Sectors or groups to drop, same names as industries. ["Real Estate", "Investing"] leaves operating companies only. If it removes everything industries asked for, the run explains and charges nothing
maxRecords	integer	20	Stop after this many matches. Filing days are read newest first, but within one day the order is EDGAR's search order, not time of day. Use 0 (no limit) to get complete days
contactEmail	string	none	Optional. Added to the User-Agent sent to SEC (SEC asks automated clients to declare a contact), and used for nothing else

Examples:

{ "dateFrom": "2026-09-14", "dateTo": "2026-09-18", "states": ["CA"], "industries": ["Technology"], "maxRecords": 0 }

{ "firstTimeOnly": true, "minAmount": 5000000, "dateFrom": "2026-09-01" }

{ "dateFrom": "1 day", "dateTo": "1 day", "excludeIndustries": ["Real Estate", "Investing"], "maxRecords": 0 }

Daily feed: schedule the actor Tuesday to Saturday at about 7:00 US Eastern (cron 0 7 * * 2-6) with {"dateFrom": "1 day", "dateTo": "1 day", "maxRecords": 0}. Each run reads exactly the previous weekday, so consecutive runs never overlap and no filing is paid for twice. Don't use the default window for this: it covers yesterday and today, so consecutive runs overlap and you would pay for the overlap twice.

One gap to know about: EDGAR occasionally gives a filing an earlier filing date than the day it was accepted. For example, 0001294202-26-000004 was accepted on 2026-09-21 but carries filing date 2026-09-18; it was the only such case among the roughly 700 Form D filings we checked for 2026-09-21..23. The daily run for 09-18 happened before that filing existed, and later daily runs don't cover 09-18, so the feed misses it. Search lists it under its filing date, so any later run whose range includes 2026-09-18 does return it.

Pricing

Pay per event. There is no subscription and no compute charge on top of the events below.

Event	Price	When
actor-start	$0.005	once per run, only after SEC has answered
raise-record	$0.02	per matching filing returned

Filtered-out filings (funds, excluded industries, other states, amounts below your minimum) and notice rows are never charged.

Worked examples (volumes measured on September 2026 data):

Run	Records	Cost
Empty input (default: 2 business days, max 20)	20	$0.005 + 20 × $0.02 = $0.405
One week, California tech companies, no limit	17	$0.005 + 17 × $0.02 = $0.345
Three weeks, first-time issuers raising $5M+, max 40	40	$0.005 + 40 × $0.02 = $0.805
Daily feed of all non-fund raises, one business day	72–77	$0.005 + 72 × $0.02 = $1.445 on 2026-09-23; about $32 per month (21 weekdays)
Same, operating companies only (excludeIndustries: ["Real Estate", "Investing"])	46	$0.005 + 46 × $0.02 = $0.925 on 2026-09-23
Same, funds included (excludeFunds: false)	~230–275	about $4.60–5.50 per day (694 records for 2026-09-21..23 = $13.885)

Set a maximum charge per run in Apify and the actor stops cleanly at that budget, keeping what it already delivered.

How it works

1. For each business day in your range (newest first), the actor lists Form D and D/A filings from EDGAR full-text search (efts.sec.gov). If that fails, it falls back to the EDGAR daily form index.
2. Most funds are identified up front by their Investment Company Act 3(c)(1)/3(c)(7) exemptions and skipped without downloading the filing.
3. Each remaining filing's primary_doc.xml is parsed. That file is the structured Form D exactly as the issuer submitted it. The remaining fund checks (industry "Pooled Investment Fund", "Pooled investment fund interests") and the state, industry and amount filters run on this filed data. The search index's own location field disagrees with the filed address on a dozen or more filings a day, so it is not used to skip filings.
4. For new filings, the issuer's EDGAR filing history (data.sec.gov/submissions) decides first_time_issuer.

Requests are paced to 5 per second, half of SEC's published fair-access limit. They use a declared User-Agent. Failures (429/5xx, timeouts, connection errors, corrupt response bodies) get bounded retries that honor Retry-After (seconds or an HTTP date) and stop when the run is close to its timeout. A filing that still cannot be read is skipped with a warning and never charged; a day whose search listing fails is read from the EDGAR daily index instead. Measured locally, including about 10 seconds of startup:

• the empty-input run takes about 20 seconds;
• one full day of non-fund raises takes about 40 seconds;
• one week filtered to California tech takes about 2 minutes, because every non-fund filing in the week is read;
• a full unfiltered week (about 1,370 filings, funds included) takes about 8 minutes.

FAQ

What is a Form D?

Companies raising money privately under Regulation D (or Section 4(a)(5)) must file a short notice with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale. It lists the offering size, amount sold, industry, executives and exemptions. Startups raising seed or Series A rounds, real estate syndications, oil and gas programs and private funds all file one.

Why are funds excluded by default?

Roughly two-thirds of Form D filings are pooled investment funds: VC funds, hedge funds and single-deal SPVs, which often appear as "X, a Series of Y LLC". They are rarely what people mean by "who raised money". A filing counts as a fund when its industry is "Pooled Investment Fund", it claims the 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) private-fund exclusion, or the issuer marks the securities offered as "Pooled investment fund interests". That last check catches bond funds, SPV series, real estate fund feeders and some Delaware statutory trusts filed under other industries: 8 of 157 otherwise non-fund filings on 2026-09-22..23. A 3(c)(5), 3(c)(6) or 3(c)(9) claim alone (real estate lenders, oil and gas programs) does not make a filing a fund. Set excludeFunds: false, or ask for industries: ["Pooled Investment Fund"], to get funds too.

The rule follows what the issuer filed, so a few pooled vehicles still get through. An example is a bank collective trust filed under "Investing" whose securities are "Other: Units of Participation". Add excludeIndustries: ["Investing"] if you want those out as well.

How do I get operating companies only?

Use excludeIndustries: ["Real Estate", "Investing"]. Even with funds removed, real estate syndications (property LLCs, DSTs, opportunity-zone vehicles) and investment holding LLCs are about a third of what is left: 26 of 72 records on 2026-09-23. Excluded filings are never charged. Form D has no "startup" flag. firstTimeOnly: true and industries: ["Technology", "Health Care"] narrow it further.

Can I add up amounts across records?

Not across amendments. amount_sold_usd and percent_sold are cumulative totals for the offering. A Form D/A repeats the lifetime total sold so far, so adding a D/A to the original D (or to earlier D/As) counts the same money twice. To measure new money, compare a D/A with the filing named in amends_accession, or sum only filing_type: "new" records.

In what order do records come?

Filing days come newest first. Within one day, records follow EDGAR full-text search order, which is not the time of acceptance. If maxRecords stops partway through a day, you get part of that day, not its latest filings. Set maxRecords: 0 to get whole days.

What counts as a first-time issuer?

An issuer with no earlier Form D or D/A under its SEC CIK. The check reads the issuer's complete EDGAR filing history and orders same-day filings by acceptance time. Amendments are never first-time. If the history lookup fails, the flag is null, and firstTimeOnly leaves that filing out.

Is "Indefinite" an amount?

No. Funds and some continuous offerings file "Indefinite". In that case offering_amount_usd is null, offering_amount_indefinite is true, and amount_sold_usd is still reported.

How fresh is the data?

EDGAR full-text search lists filings within minutes of acceptance. The actor includes today's filings (US Eastern date) by default.

Can it return data from years ago?

Yes. Any range from 2001 onward works, up to 366 days per run. Electronic Form D XML exists from 2009.

Is the phone number / person data allowed?

All fields are public records the issuer filed with the SEC, reproduced as filed. Street addresses of individuals are omitted. Follow applicable law (e.g. TCPA / telemarketing rules) if you contact anyone.

Is this affiliated with the SEC?

Unofficial — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It reads the SEC's public EDGAR data. Always check important decisions against the filing itself (filing_url).

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Connect your agent to the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) with this actor as a tool (bigdavidson/sec-form-d-raises). Then ask things like "which Texas health care companies filed a new Form D this week?" or "first-time issuers raising over $10M since Monday". The agent fills the input itself.

The input is forgiving for agents:

• Aliases work: limit, type: "D/A", industry: "biotech", exclude_sectors: "real estate", state: "Texas, FL", days: 7, min_amount: "1M".
• Case and extra spaces don't matter, and unknown fields are ignored with a warning.
• Output is flat and stable: filter on record_type == "raise", and read any notice row for an explanation.
• Filters that cannot match anything (only unknown industries or places, a date range before 2001 or with no business days) get a free explanation, and nothing is charged.
• Costs: $0.005 per run + $0.02 per record. maxRecords caps spend; the default of 20 costs at most $0.405.
