New VC Fund Tracker — SEC Form D Fund Formation API

Know about new VC funds before they're announced. Every new venture, private-equity, and hedge fund in the US files a Form D with the SEC when it starts raising — usually weeks before any press release or LinkedIn post. This actor pulls those filings the moment they hit EDGAR and returns clean fund-formation records: fund name, type, offering size, amount sold, minimum investment, the GPs behind it, and the EDGAR link.

Built for founders timing a raise to fresh dry powder, LPs and fund-of-funds tracking new manager formation, placement agents, and fund-services sales — admin, legal, audit, and banking teams (every new fund buys all four).

⏱ Made to run on a schedule

Natural usage is a weekly monitor: "what funds formed this week." Put it on an Apify schedule and each run is a clean feed of the newest pooled-investment-fund filings in your date range, filterable by fund type, size, and state.

🔎 Sibling relationship (read this)

This is the fund-formation counterpart to Startup Funding Tracker — the fleet's #1 actor. That one tracks operating companies raising (the startups). This one tracks the funds raising — the GPs assembling capital. Same free SEC source, opposite side of the table: watch the money form here, watch it deployed there.

💵 Pricing

• New fund filing — $0.15 (one pooled-investment-fund Form D record).
• Actor start — $0.01.
• $1 ≈ 6–7 fund filings. SEC EDGAR is free and near-zero compute, so runs are cheap.

⚠️ Honest caps

This is a filings / records tool over public SEC data — not investment signals, alpha, or recommendations, and records are not predictions. Form D timing varies: some funds file late, some claim exemptions and never file, and dateOfFirstSale can predate the filing. Coverage is whatever issuers file on EDGAR.
