SEC Form D Startup Raises: Operating Companies Only

Get a clean list of companies that just raised private capital, straight from the SEC's EDGAR Form D filings, with the noise removed.

About 6 in 10 new Form D filings are investment funds (hedge funds, PE/VC funds, real estate funds, SPVs). If you're looking for sales leads or deal flow, they're clutter. This Actor drops them by default, so every row is an operating company: a startup, a biotech, a manufacturer, a local business. You get who raised, how much, where, and who runs it.

Why this one

• Funds removed. Filings marked "Pooled Investment Fund" are dropped, and so are lookalike SPVs and feeder funds (names like "... Fund LP", "Co-Invest", "Partners V, LLC", "a Series of ...", LLC/LP issuers in the "Investing" industry, or securities sold as fund interests). Both switches can be turned off.
• New raises only. Amendments (D/A) are skipped unless you ask for them, so you're not re-contacting last year's round.
• Lead filters. State, industry include/exclude, minimum amount offered, minimum amount sold, and "incorporated in the last 5 years".
• Monitor mode. Schedule it daily and get only filings you haven't seen before.
• Official source. Data comes directly from SEC EDGAR (public domain). No login, no proxies, no third-party database.

Use cases

• Sales prospecting: companies with fresh cash are buying software, hiring, leasing space and hiring agencies. Reach them in the weeks after the raise.
• Recruiting: find funded startups in your region before they post jobs.
• Banking, legal, accounting and insurance: spot new clients that need treasury, D&O cover, audits or cap-table help.
• Investors and analysts: track private raises by industry and state.
• Journalists and researchers: monitor local funding activity.

How to use it

1. Pick a date range: Days back (default 7) or a start and end date (filing date, up to 92 days per run).
2. Optionally add filters, e.g. States CA, Industries Technology, Minimum amount sold 1000000.
3. Run it and export the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON or via API.

For an ongoing feed, turn on Monitor mode, set Days back to 3, and schedule the Actor daily.

Each run also saves a RUN_STATS record in its key-value store: filings scanned, funds dropped, SPVs dropped, rows kept.

Pricing

You pay per operating-company result returned. Funds and filtered-out filings are never charged. See the Pricing tab for the current rate.

Notes and limits

• Timing: EDGAR publishes each business day's index in the evening (US Eastern), so today's filings usually appear the next morning.
• Self-reported data: amounts, industry and dates are what the issuer filed. "Indefinite" offering amounts show as offeringAmountIndefinite: true.
• The SPV filter is a heuristic. It catches most investment vehicles that didn't tick "Pooled Investment Fund", but check likelyInvestmentVehicleReason if you turn it off. Real estate project LLCs are kept by default; exclude them with Industries (exclude) Real Estate.
• Contact data: Form D gives a company phone number and the names of executives and directors. It doesn't include emails.
• Fair access: the Actor identifies itself to the SEC and stays well under its 10 requests/second limit.

FAQ

Is scraping Form D legal? Form D filings are public records published by the SEC for anyone to read. This Actor reads EDGAR's public archive the way the SEC's fair-access policy describes.

How many results will I get? It varies by week. On a typical business day there are roughly 120–150 new Form D filings, and about 35–50 of them are operating companies.

Do co-issuer filings show up twice? No. When several entities file one Form D together, you get one row per filing.

Can I get older filings? Yes. Set a start and end date. Each run covers up to 92 days.
