Startup Funding Rounds from SEC Form D (No API Key)

SEC Form D Scraper (Startup Funding Rounds, No API Key)

Get the companies that just raised money, from the Form D filings US companies send the SEC after selling shares, SAFEs or notes: amount raised, target, industry, location, founding year and investor count, one row per funding round. Companies only, no login, no API key.

• Find buyers with fresh budget: a company that just closed a round is often hiring and buying. Add this week's rounds in your industry and state to your CRM.
• Watch your market as an investor: see who raised in your sector and region, how much, and from how many investors.
• Find companies to recruit for or sell services to: newly funded startups tend to hire, rent offices and take on agencies.
• Research private capital: track raising by industry, state, security type or exemption over time.
• Run a daily funding feed: schedule it with onlyNew and get only the rounds filed since the last run.

Quick start

Paste this into the JSON tab of the input and click Start:

{"lastDays": 3, "industries": ["technology", "health-care"], "excludeFunds": true, "maxResults": 10}

You get 10 technology and health care rounds filed in the last 3 days, usually in about 15 seconds. Remove maxResults to get every matching round: a full week with funds excluded is a few hundred rounds in about a minute.

}

The dataset has two views (Funding rounds and All fields) and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. The run's SUMMARY record shows how many filings were listed and read, what was skipped and why.

Companies only. Form D also lists the company's executives, directors and promoters, and anyone paid to sell the securities. This Actor never returns any of them: those parts of the filing are dropped as it is read. A filing whose issuer is really an individual (the issuer's name is one of the people on the filing, or a personal trust, estate or IRA) is skipped.

How much does it cost?

You pay per funding round returned. There is no charge for Apify platform usage on top.

Row	Free and Starter	Scale	Business
Funding round	$5 per 1,000	$3.75 per 1,000	$2.75 per 1,000

Plus $0.00005 per run start. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 1,000 funding rounds. Free-plan runs stop at 100 rounds each; any paid Apify plan removes the cap.

What's free: runs that find nothing, input mistakes, funds and filings your filters leave out, individuals' filings, filings already returned to you (onlyNew), and the older filings of an offering when a newer amendment of it is in the same run (one row and one charge per offering). To cap a run's spend, set Maximum cost per run in the run options, or use maxResults.

Limits

• Form D is filed after the first sale, up to 15 days later, so a round can show up a couple of weeks after it closed. Some companies never file one.
• Amounts are what the company reported. totalAmountSold is the amount raised in that offering when the form was filed, not the company's total funding. A later amendment usually shows a higher number.
• No investor names. Form D doesn't list who invested, and the people it does list (executives, promoters) are left out on purpose.
• Industry is the company's own pick from the SEC's list. Most software startups choose "Other Technology".
• excludeFunds removes filings marked as funds: the "Pooled Investment Fund" industry group or an Investment Company Act 3(c) exemption. Property companies that file as an ordinary company (many real estate LLCs) still appear. Use the industries filter to keep to technology, health care or another sector.
• US offerings only. Companies outside the US appear only when they sell securities in the US under Regulation D.
• Dates: up to 366 days per run, back to March 2009 (when Form D became electronic XML). EDGAR has no filings on weekends and US federal holidays; a "last N days" window with none yet reaches back to the last filing day.
• Speed: a week with funds excluded (a few hundred rounds) takes about a minute; a month (about 1,700 rounds) takes about 5 minutes. firstTimeFilersOnly adds one EDGAR lookup per matching filing. If the run's time limit is reached, it stops cleanly and keeps what it found.

Only new since last run, and schedules

Save your input as a task, turn on onlyNew and schedule it every morning under Schedules in Apify Console. Each run skips filings an earlier run with the same filters already returned, and skipped filings cost nothing. The memory is kept per set of filters, so a technology task and a health care task each keep their own. Filings are listed through EDGAR full-text search, which shows a Form D on the day it is filed; if that service is down, the EDGAR daily index is used instead.

Integrations: API, n8n, Make and AI agents

API. Run it and get the rows back in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/locaihost~funding-rounds/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lastDays": 7, "industries": ["technology"], "minAmountSold": 1000000}'

Apify's API clients for Python and JavaScript work the same way.

n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks. Apify's built-in integrations send each run's dataset wherever you need it, for example a new Google Sheets row or Slack message per round.

AI agents (MCP). Add this Actor to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client with https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/funding-rounds, then ask something like "Which biotech companies in Massachusetts raised more than $5 million this month?"

FAQ

How much does it cost to track startup funding rounds?

$5 per 1,000 funding rounds on the Free and Starter plans, $3.75 on Scale and $2.75 on Business. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 1,000 rounds, and a run that finds nothing costs nothing.

Can I use it through the API or from Python?

Yes. Use the run-sync-get-dataset-items call above, or Apify's Python and JavaScript clients. Every run's data is also available as JSON, CSV or Excel from its dataset.

Can I use it from an AI agent?

Yes. Through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/funding-rounds) any MCP client can call it with dates and filters and read the rows back.

Is it legal to scrape SEC Form D filings?

Form D filings are public records published by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which states that information on sec.gov may be copied and further distributed, and asks that the SEC be cited as the source. The Actor reads only the public EDGAR archive, stays under the SEC's 10 requests per second limit with a declared contact, and never returns the people named on a filing. You are responsible for how you use the data, including direct marketing and phone outreach rules (for example the US TCPA and do-not-call rules) when you contact companies.

Does it show who invested?

No. Form D gives the number of investors (investorCount), not their names.

What does "one row per round" mean for amendments?

When an offering's original filing and its amendments (Form D/A) are all in your date range, you get one row with the latest numbers, marked isAmendment, charged once. Turn includeAmendments off to get only brand-new offerings.

Why are some fields empty?

Companies may leave items blank or "Decline to Disclose" (revenue is often withheld), an offering with no set target has offeringAmountIndefinite: true and no totalOfferingAmount, and fund fields are mostly empty unless you include funds.
