SEC Form D Startup Funding Leads

Find newly fundraising U.S. private companies from official SEC Form D filings. This Actor turns raw EDGAR Form D and D/A notices into a clean B2B lead dataset with issuer details, offering size, location, industry, filing URL, and a lead score.

Use it for startup sales prospecting, recruiting, agency outreach, market intelligence, venture research, and private-company monitoring.

What it does

• Monitors the SEC EDGAR current Form D feed.
• Opens each filing's official primary_doc.xml source.
• Extracts issuer, CIK, entity type, industry, city, state, phone, offering amount, amount sold, minimum investment, and filing URL.
• Filters out funds, SPVs, and pooled investment vehicles by default so the output is more useful for operating-company lead generation.
• Scores each lead from 0 to 100 using offering size, industry, company type, and startup geography.
• Produces a clean Apify dataset ready for CSV, JSON, API, Google Sheets, n8n, Zapier, HubSpot, Salesforce, or your own CRM pipeline.

Best use cases

• B2B sales teams: discover companies that recently started raising capital.
• Recruiting agencies: find private companies likely to hire after funding activity.
• Founder-service agencies: monitor startup financing signals for outreach.
• Market intelligence teams: track private offering activity by state, industry, or keyword.
• Data vendors: enrich official Form D data into lead products and alerts.

Why this is better than raw EDGAR search

EDGAR gives you filings. This Actor gives you a lead workflow:

• filters noisy fund/SPV filings,
• extracts structured fields,
• adds sales prioritization,
• produces export-ready data,
• works well on schedules and webhooks,
• uses official SEC XML instead of fragile browser scraping.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

• Actor start: small fixed fee per run.
• Qualified lead: charged only when a qualified lead is written to the dataset.

This keeps small tests inexpensive while aligning cost with the number of useful leads returned.

Scheduling ideas

Run it daily with:

{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "daysBack": 2,
  "includeFunds": false
}

Then connect the dataset or webhook to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, or a lead enrichment pipeline.

Data source and compliance

• Source: official public SEC EDGAR Form D filings.
• This Actor sends a descriptive User-Agent and uses lightweight HTTP requests.
• No login, cookies, proxies, browser automation, or CAPTCHA solving are required.
• SEC filings may contain incomplete, amended, or issuer-submitted information. Verify important leads before outreach or investment decisions.

Limitations

• Form D filings do not always include a website, founder names, or emails.
• Some filings are funds, SPVs, or investment vehicles. The default filter removes obvious cases but cannot perfectly classify every issuer.
• Offering amount and amount sold can be missing, zero, or marked as indefinite depending on the filing.

Roadmap

• Stateful daily monitoring with duplicate suppression.
• Optional domain/company enrichment.
• CRM-ready output presets.
• Webhook templates for Slack and Discord alerts.
• Stronger operating-company versus fund classification.
