Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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](https://apify.com/nexgendata/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. ### 📦 Output — field table (from a real run) | field | example | |---|---| | `fund_name` | Blue Marlin Kinders SPV LLC | | `fund_type` | Other Investment Fund | | `total_offering_amount_usd` | 107900000 | | `amount_sold_usd` | 107900000 | | `minimum_investment_usd` | 25000 | | `related_persons` | [{"name":"Peter Kirsch","roles":["Executive Officer"]}] | | `state` | MD | | `filing_date` | 2026-06-18 | | `first_sale_date` | 2022-11-09 | | `edgar_link` | https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/... | ### 🤖 Use with AI agents - *"Run sec-new-vc-fund-tracker for the last 7 days, Venture Capital Fund only, min $10M — list new funds and their GPs."* - *"Which new California funds formed this month, and draft a placement-services intro email for each."* - *"Weekly: pull new fund filings and flag any GP that also appears in my CRM."* ### 🔗 Related NexGenData actors (the fund pipeline) - **[Startup Funding Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/startup-funding-tracker)** — operating companies raising (the #1 sibling; opposite side of the raise). - **[SEC Form ADV Investment Adviser Tracker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/sec-form-adv-investment-adviser-tracker)** — **new funds file Form ADV next**; track the manager's adviser registration after formation. - **[Sequoia Portfolio Scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/sequoia-portfolio-scraper)** and **[VC Portfolio Change Monitor](https://apify.com/nexgendata/vc-portfolio-page-monitor)** — where the deployed capital shows up. ### ⚠️ 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. # Actor input Schema ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): How many days of Form D filings to scan back from today (used if dateFrom is empty). ## `dateFrom` (type: `string`): Start of filing-date range. Overrides daysBack when set. ## `dateTo` (type: `string`): End of filing-date range. Defaults to today. ## `fundType` (type: `string`): Filter by Form D investment-fund sub-type. ## `minOfferingAmount` (type: `integer`): Only funds whose total offering amount is at least this value. ## `state` (type: `string`): Filter by issuer state, e.g. CA, NY, DE. Leave blank for all. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Cap on fund filings returned per run. ## Actor input object example ```json { "daysBack": 14, "dateFrom": "", "dateTo": "", "fundType": "All", "minOfferingAmount": 0, "state": "", "maxResults": 100 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
