SEC Form D + Funding News Tracker: Startup Raises

Get a daily feed of who just raised money, from two sources in one clean dataset:

• SEC EDGAR Form D filings (recordType: "secFormD"): every private company or fund selling securities under Regulation D must file a Form D within 15 days of the first sale. You get company, amount raised, amount sold, industry, executives and directors, address and phone.
• Funding news (recordType: "fundingNews"): fundraising stories from TechCrunch's official RSS feeds (main, Startups, Fundraising tag, Venture). You get headline, link, publish time, excerpt, and the company and USD amount when the headline states them plainly.

No API key, no login. SEC data is public-domain US government data; news comes only from official RSS (no article scraping). Competitively priced: you pay only for rows that pass your filters.

Try it in under a minute

1. Click Try for free / Start with the default input (last 7 days, both sources, skip investment funds, max 50).
2. Open the Dataset tab → Overview view for company, amount, date, source and link.
3. Export JSON, CSV or Excel, or connect Make / Zapier / n8n / the API.
4. Optional: turn on Only new since last run and schedule daily for a lead feed.

More example inputs are in the Example input section below.

Who uses it

• B2B sales & SDR teams: companies that just raised are about to hire and buy software. Reach them first.
• VCs, angels and scouts: deal flow and competitor-round tracking by industry and state, with press coverage next to the filings.
• Wealth managers & private bankers: executives of freshly funded companies are prime prospects.
• Lawyers, accountants, recruiters and fund admins: spot new clients the week they file.
• Journalists & analysts: track private capital flows by sector.

How to use

1. Sources: sec, news, or both (default both).
2. Pick a window: last N days (default 7) or exact dates. Applies to filing dates and news publish dates.
3. Optional filters: company-name / headline words, state codes, industry words (filings only), minimum / maximum amount.
4. Skip investment funds is on by default (filings), so you get startups and operating businesses.
5. Choose a sort (newest, largest amount, most sold) and a cap. Sorting happens across both types before the cap.
6. For a lead feed, turn on Only new since last run and schedule the Actor daily.

Example input

{
  "sources": ["sec", "news"],
  "lastDays": 7,
  "states": ["CA", "NY"],
  "minOfferingAmount": 1000000,
  "sortBy": "largestOffering",
  "maxResults": 100
}

How filters, sorting and the cap work across both types

• maxResults caps the total rows saved (filings + news).
• newest sorts by filing date / news publish time. largestOffering uses the filing offeringAmount and the news headline amount (newsAmount); mostSold uses the filing amountSold and newsAmount. Rows without an amount come after rows with one, ordered newest first.
• states, industries and excludePooledFunds apply to filings only. companyKeywords matches filing company names and news headlines. With a minimum amount set, news with no amount in the headline is dropped.
• News keeps fundraising stories only (raises, funding, seed, Series A/B/C, venture rounds, investments); other posts are dropped for free.

Output

All rows share the same keys in the same order. recordType comes first and scrapedAt last. Fields that don't apply to a row are null (never omitted, never ""). Amounts are JSON numbers in USD, timestamps are ISO 8601 UTC (…At), and day-only values are YYYY-MM-DD (…Date). Empty lists are null, with a …Count column next to them.

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML from the dataset tab or API. For one row per executive, use the API with unwind=executives. A run summary (counts per type, feed items, filtered out, date window) is saved to the OUTPUT record.

Why this Actor

• Official sources only: SEC EDGAR daily index + each filing's XML (declared User-Agent, under 5 requests/second), and TechCrunch's official RSS feeds.
• No duplicates: one row per accession number (filings) or URL (news). Monitor mode remembers both, so you never pay for the same item twice.
• Clean, stable columns: built for Excel, Google Sheets, Make, n8n and Zapier.
• Competitive pricing: you pay only for rows that pass your filters and are saved.

Pricing

Pay per event: one charge per saved filing (filing) and one per saved news story (news), at the same rate. Filtered, duplicate or already-seen items are free. Set "Max results" to control spend.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? SEC publishes the daily index each business evening (ET). A daily schedule catches filings the next morning.

Why is offeringAmount null sometimes? The issuer marked the offering size as "Indefinite" (isOfferingIndefinite: true). These rows are kept when you set a minimum amount.

Are emails included? Form D has no emails. Pair it with a contact finder (for example our Website Contact Finder) on the company's domain.

Is this legal? Form D filings are public records published by the SEC for public use. Use the data responsibly and follow anti-spam and privacy laws in your outreach.

Where does the news come from? TechCrunch official RSS only. The company name and amount are filled only when the headline states them plainly; otherwise they are null.
