SEC Form D Scraper: startup funding rounds feed from EDGAR

Get a daily list of US companies that just raised money, straight from SEC Form D filings on EDGAR. One clean row per filing: company, industry, city and state, amount offered and already sold, investors, year of incorporation and links. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel. No API key, no login, no Crunchbase subscription.

What is the SEC Form D Scraper?

Every private placement under Regulation D (seed rounds, Series A/B, SAFEs, convertible notes, real-estate and energy raises) must be reported to the SEC on Form D within 15 days of the first sale. This Actor turns those filings into a flat, typed table. More than half of all filings come from funds and SPVs; by default these are removed, leaving operating companies raising money for themselves.

Who uses it and why:

• VC investors and scouts see new seed and Series A rounds in their sector and region, often before the press does.
• B2B sales teams load freshly funded companies, which are buying and hiring, into their CRM each morning.
• Lawyers, accountants, recruiters, banks and insurers find newly funded clients.
• Analysts measure private capital formation by industry, state and round size, or track new funds.
• AI agents and data pipelines get a typed JSON feed of US private placements.

How to use the SEC Form D scraper

1. Click Try for free (free Apify account).
2. Keep the default window (last 3 days, funds and SPVs excluded) or set your own.
3. Optionally pick Industries, US states, a round size or Young companies only.
4. Set Max results (the prefill is 20, about 6 seconds) and click Start.
5. Open the Output tab and download CSV, Excel or JSON, or send the data to Google Sheets.
6. For a daily feed, turn on Only new filings and add a daily Schedule (see below).

Input guide

Filed within the last N days (filedWithinDays). Calendar days back from today, US Eastern time. 0 = today only. The default 3 always covers the last business day.

Filed from / Filed to (filedFrom, filedTo). A fixed range (YYYY-MM-DD) for research; it replaces the N-days setting. Electronic Form D filings start in 2009.

• Good: 2026-09-01 to 2026-09-30. Or only filedFrom: "from that date until today".
• Bad: only filedTo. The range then starts at the beginning of EDGAR, which makes a very long run.

Investment funds and SPVs (fundsAndSpvs). exclude (default) keeps operating companies only, include returns everything, only tracks new fund formations. Funds are detected by industry, security type, a 3(c) exclusion or a vehicle-style name ("a Series of", "SPV", "Feeder"...); fundOrSpvReason says why.

Industries / Exclude industries (industries, excludeIndustries). Form D industry groups; "All ..." selects a whole sector.

• Good: ["All Technology", "Biotechnology", "Pharmaceuticals"].
• Tip: single-property real-estate and oil-and-gas partnerships count as operating companies on Form D. Exclude All Real Estate to remove them.
• Note: there is no "fintech", "AI" or "SaaS" group. Software, AI and internet companies fall under Other Technology.

US states (states). The issuer's principal place of business, not its state of incorporation (often Delaware). Leave empty for all states and foreign issuers. Foreign issuers get EDGAR codes (e.g. P7) in state.

Min / max total offering amount (minOfferingAmount, maxOfferingAmount). Round size in USD, for example max 3000000 for seed raises.

• Warning: "Indefinite" offerings (common for SAFEs) pass the minimum but are dropped when you set a maximum.

Min amount already sold (minAmountSold). Money already raised, e.g. 500000.

Young companies only (youngCompaniesOnly). Issuers incorporated within the last five years or not yet formed: a good proxy for startups.

Include amendments (includeAmendments). Off = only new offerings. On = also Form D/A updates (new amount sold, more investors, annual renewal), linked by previousAccessionNumber.

Regulation D exemptions (exemptions). rule506b, rule506c (may advertise publicly), rule504, section4a5.

Issuer name contains (issuerKeywords). Case-insensitive match on the company name only.

• Good: ["Therapeutics", "Robotics"].
• Bad: ["AI"]. It matches any part of a name, such as "Main Street" or "Retail". Use industries instead.

Max results (maxResults). Stop after N filings; 0 = no limit. Also your cost cap: 1,000 filings cost $1.80.

Include related persons (includeRelatedPersons). Off by default. Adds names and roles of executives, directors and promoters, never addresses. Needs a lawful basis for personal data.

Only new filings / Monitor name (onlyNewFilings, monitorName). Outputs and charges only filings not delivered in earlier runs. Changing a filter (not the dates or Max results) starts a new "already seen" list; use one monitor name per saved search.

User-Agent contact (userAgent). SEC asks automated tools to identify themselves, for example Acme Corp research@acme.com. Sent only to SEC.gov, never stored or logged. Empty = the Actor's generic identifier.

Input example: young tech and biotech startups in California and New York raising $1M to $30M

FAQ

How does it work, and where does the data come from? All data comes from SEC EDGAR, the SEC's public filing system. The Actor lists Form D filings with EDGAR full-text search and reads each matching filing's official XML document. Form D notices are public by law, and works of the US federal government are in the public domain. The Actor respects sec.gov's robots.txt. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC.

Does it respect SEC's rate limits? Yes. SEC's fair-access policy allows at most 10 requests per second and asks tools to declare a User-Agent. The Actor never sends more than 5 per second, declares itself in the User-Agent header and backs off when SEC is busy. If SEC still refuses (HTTP 403), the run stops with a clear message instead of retrying.

Are there limits? EDGAR search lists at most 10,000 hits per query, so long ranges are split into one query per day automatically. Use Max results to cap size and cost.

How fast is it? The prefilled run takes about 6 seconds; 500 filings took about 2.5 minutes, because the Actor stays below SEC's rate limit. Industry, amount and company-age filters need each document, so they are slower over long ranges than the other filters.

How fresh is the data? Form D is due within 15 days of the first sale, so compare dateOfFirstSale with filedDate. New filings usually appear in EDGAR search on the day they are accepted (US business days, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern; after 5:30 p.m. they get the next business day's date). A daily schedule with Only new filings catches everything.

Why are my results different from EDGAR full-text search? Funds, SPVs and amendments are excluded by default; states mean the place of business, not incorporation; Issuer name contains searches names only; and monitoring mode skips filings you already received. RUN_SUMMARY shows the filings in range and why each group was skipped.

Why is the offering amount sometimes empty? The issuer reported it as "Indefinite" (offeringAmountIndefinite: true), common for SAFEs and funds. totalAmountSold is still filled in.

Is it legal? What about personal data (GDPR, CCPA)? Form D notices are public filings. They also list executives, directors and promoters with their addresses. By default the Actor outputs company-level data only. With includeRelatedPersons you get names and roles, never addresses, and e-mails and phone numbers are stripped from the role text. Signers, the issuer's phone and street address, and individual sales agents are never output (only broker-dealer firm names). If you collect names, you need a lawful basis (e.g. GDPR legitimate interest) and must honor CCPA opt-outs.

Can I use it from Python, Google Sheets or my CRM? Yes. See Use it via API and Integrations and scheduling.

How does "Only new filings" work? Accession numbers of delivered filings are kept in a named key-value store in your account. The next run with the same filters and monitor name skips them before downloading. Only delivered filings are remembered, so filings cut off by Max results arrive next time. A new monitor name starts a fresh list.

What if a run fails? Invalid input fails at once with a message saying what to fix. If SEC blocks or stays down after retries, the Actor keeps what it saved and explains the problem in the status message and RUN_SUMMARY; the run fails only if nothing was saved. Please open an issue on the Issues tab with the run link. Fixes usually land within 24 to 48 hours.
