SEC EDGAR Form D Scraper — Startup Funding Lead Generator

Find recently funded startups before anyone else. This actor scrapes SEC EDGAR Form D (Regulation D) filings to extract company names, funding amounts, executive contacts, industry data, and more — giving you a powerful B2B sales prospecting and investor research tool.

Every U.S. company that raises capital through a private placement (Reg D exemption) is required by law to file Form D with the SEC. This actor turns those public filings into structured, actionable lead data.

What is SEC Form D?

When startups and private companies raise money from investors (seed rounds, Series A/B/C, venture capital, private equity), they must file Form D with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This filing is public and contains:

• Company name & address — who raised money
• Offering amount — how much they're raising
• Amount sold — how much they've already raised
• Executive/director names — CEO, CFO, directors involved
• Industry classification — technology, healthcare, real estate, etc.
• Date of first sale — when the fundraising started
• Type of securities — equity, debt, convertible notes, etc.
• Number of investors — how many investors participated
• Federal exemptions — Rule 506(b), 506(c), etc.

How It Works

1. Searches SEC EDGAR EFTS API for Form D filings matching your date range and keyword filters
2. Fetches the Form D XML for each filing from SEC archives
3. Parses all structured data — company info, offering amounts, executives, industry, securities type
4. Filters by minimum amount if specified
5. Outputs clean, structured JSON ready for CRM import, spreadsheet analysis, or API integration

The actor uses the official SEC EDGAR public API — no browser or proxy needed. It respects SEC rate limits (max 10 requests/second) and follows SEC's fair access policy.

---

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing:

• Per run: $0.05
• Per filing result: $0.002 ($2 per 1,000 filings)

Example: Scraping 500 filings costs approximately $0.05 + $1.00 = $1.05

Data Compliance

All data is sourced from publicly available SEC EDGAR filings. Form D is a public disclosure document required by U.S. securities law. No private or restricted data is accessed. The actor follows SEC's fair access guidelines and rate limits.

FAQ

Q: How often are new Form D filings published? A: The SEC publishes new filings continuously throughout business days. Most filings appear within 24 hours of submission.

Q: Can I use this data for cold outreach? A: Form D data is public information. However, always comply with applicable laws (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, etc.) when using contact information for outreach.

Q: Does this work for non-U.S. companies? A: It covers any company filing Form D with the SEC, which includes foreign private issuers raising capital in the U.S.

Q: What's the difference between Form D and Form D/A? A: Form D is the original filing. Form D/A is an amendment that updates previously filed information. Enable includeAmendments to capture both.

Q: How far back can I search? A: SEC EDGAR EFTS index typically covers filings from 1993 onwards, though XML-formatted Form D filings are most reliable from ~2008 onwards.
