📈 SEC Form D Private Placement Tracker — VC/PE funding intel from EDGAR — entity, CIK, raise, exemptions, officers

Scrape every Form D private placement filing from SEC EDGAR — the canonical record of every private securities offering under Regulation D in the U.S. Get issuer name, CIK, total amount raised, fund type (VC/PE/hedge fund/real estate), Rule 506(b)/506(c) exemption claimed, officers and directors, broker-dealers, and exact filing date.

One actor. One token. Real-time regulator-direct data delivered in structured JSON.

Why This Actor Beats PitchBook, Crunchbase, Bloomberg Terminal

• Source-of-truth EDGAR data: PitchBook and Crunchbase enrich and lag — sometimes by weeks. Form D filings appear on EDGAR within hours of submission. You get the raw filing, not a reseller's interpretation.
• Pay-per-result vs. $25K+ seats: PitchBook seats start at $25,000/year. Capital IQ runs $30K+. This actor charges $0.15 per filing. A whole-year backfill of every Form D ever filed costs less than one PitchBook user-month.
• Officer/director names: We extract the full executive table from Form D — names, titles, and addresses. Most paid VC databases don't surface this at all.
• Webhook-ready JSON: Pipe results into Snowflake, BigQuery, your CRM, or a Slack alert in five lines of code. No SFTP, no Excel exports, no licence contracts.

What You Get

Every record returned by this actor is structured JSON with the following fields populated wherever the source filing provides them:

• Issuer name, CIK, EIN, jurisdiction of incorporation
• Filing date, period of report, accession number, EDGAR URL
• Total offering amount, total sold, total remaining
• Fund type — VC, PE, hedge fund, real estate, other investment fund
• Exemption claimed — Rule 506(b), 506(c), 504, Section 4(a)(5)
• Investor count and minimum investment accepted
• Officers and directors — names, titles, and signing addresses
• Broker-dealer / finder names and CRD numbers
• Sales commissions and finders' fees

The full output schema is stable across runs — safe to load into Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, or your data warehouse without re-mapping each refresh.

Use Cases

• M&A bankers — Identify which PE shops just closed a fund — they're the ones with fresh dry powder buying your client's company.
• LP advisors and FoF managers — Cross-reference manager-claimed AUM vs. actual Form D totals.
• Journalists and researchers — Investigate offshoots of major fund families and spot serial issuers.
• Compliance teams — Monitor 506(c) general-solicitation offerings for suitability and disclosure review.
• Founders raising capital — Benchmark your round size and structure against current Form D filings in your sector.

FAQ

Q: Is scraping EDGAR legal?

A: Yes. SEC EDGAR is public-record data published by the U.S. federal government. SEC's fair-access policy permits programmatic retrieval at reasonable rates.

Q: How fresh is the data?

A: Form D filings appear on EDGAR typically within minutes of acceptance. Our actor reads new filings on demand — schedule it every 15 minutes for near-real-time coverage.

Q: Can I backfill historical filings?

A: Yes. EDGAR's Form D archive goes back to 2009. Pass a date range to backfill years of filings in a single run.

Q: Does this give me investor names?

A: Form D does not require disclosure of individual investor names. You get the issuer, officers, directors, and broker-dealers. Investor identity is intentionally not public.

Q: What's the schema stability?

A: Stable. The Form D EDGAR XML schema has been unchanged since 2008. Field names and types are guaranteed across runs.

Q: Can I filter by sector or state?

A: Yes — pass jurisdiction (state of incorporation), fund_type, or issuer_search to narrow your dataset before running.
