Startup Funding Feed — SEC Form D Rounds as Clean JSON

Every US private funding round, from the primary source — days before the press. Companies raising private capital in the US must file SEC Form D. This Actor turns those filings into a structured feed: who raised, how much, in which industry and state, with how many investors.

Funding databases charge hundreds per seat and still lag the filings. This is the raw regulatory source, structured, for the price of an API call.

Real volume: ~1,300+ new Form D filings per week — filter by state, industry and minimum amount to get exactly your slice.

Why the primary source beats funding news

• Days earlier: Form D is often filed before (or without) any press release — most rounds never make the news at all.
• Exact amounts: totalSoldUsd is what was actually raised so far, not a journalist's estimate.
• Complete: every exempt offering, not just the VC-backed ones TechCrunch covers — including real estate, funds and SMB raises.
• New rounds only by default: amendments (Form D/A) are excluded unless you want them.
• Slow-fill detection: slowFill flags definite offerings that have sold <50% of the target 90+ days after the first sale — a struggling-raise signal you won't get from press coverage. Most visible on amendments (includeAmendments: true), where issuers refresh their sold totals.

Use cases

• Sales / lead-gen: companies that just raised have budget — filter by industry and state, feed your CRM weekly.
• VCs / corp-dev: track who is raising in your thesis area before it's public knowledge.
• Recruiters: funded startups hire — a fresh-capital feed is a hiring-signal feed.
• Market research: capital formation by industry and geography, from the regulator's own data.
• AI agents: "which fintechs in NY raised over $5M this month?" — one tool call.

FAQ

Does it include investor names? Form D lists related persons (officers/directors/promoters) in the filing itself — open the url for the full document. The structured feed focuses on the offering economics.

Why is totalOfferingUsd sometimes null? The company declared an indefinite offering size (offeringIsIndefinite: true). totalSoldUsd still shows what they actually raised.

How is slowFill computed? true when daysSinceFirstSale >= 90 and totalSoldUsd / totalOfferingUsd < 0.5. It is null (not evaluable) for indefinite offerings, filings where the first sale is yet to occur, or missing amounts — so open-ended raises never muddy the signal. daysSinceFirstSale counts from dateOfFirstSale to filedAt, because totalSoldUsd is a snapshot as of the filing date; if you prefer your own threshold, compute it from those raw fields.

Is this only tech startups? No — every Regulation D exempt offering: startups, funds, real estate syndications, SMBs. Use industries to slice.
