Funding Leads Report — Scored SEC Form D Raises

One report call surfaces the newly-funded companies in your sector, geography and deal-size window — scored and ranked — for less than the price of a coffee. A VC associate or SDR building a prospecting list of freshly-raised companies otherwise reads the raw EDGAR Form D feed by hand, or pays $100–500+/month for a funding-intelligence subscription. This actor delivers the same weekly answer as a single, self-contained report: $15.00 per report (FREE tier) — run it once a week and a whole sector desk is covered for ~$60/month.

It reads the official SEC EDGAR daily indexes, parses public D / D/A Form D XML as filed, filters to your window, and returns a deterministically scored and ranked lead list plus one rendered markdown brief you can paste straight into a prospecting doc.

What you get

• funding_lead records — one per qualifying raise, each with a 0–100 lead_score, a HOT / WARM / COOL grade, the score breakdown, and the buyer-relevant filing fields (issuer, state, sector, offering amount, amount sold, first-sale date, exemptions, source URL).
• One leads_report record — the ranked digest: window, filters, lead and grade counts, score summary, the top leads, and a full rendered markdown brief (also written to the key-value store under report_kv_key).
• source_receipt records — a per-filing-date run receipt (terminal state, canary, request counters). Always emitted, never billed.

How leads are scored (transparent, no AI)

Scoring is a fixed, deterministic rubric — ngd-fundscore-v1. Identical inputs always produce identical scores. No LLM, no external model, no "AI-powered" anything.

• Size (0–40) — banded by total offering amount (bigger raise, bigger account).
• Recency (0–35) — linear decay over a 90-day horizon from the filing date.
• Closure (0–25) — traction signals: capital already sold, the sold-vs-offering ratio, and a very recent first sale (money just started moving) or a brand-new open raise.

Leads are ranked by score, with deterministic tie-breaks (larger offering, then fresher filing, then accession number).

Input (three caps keep every run bounded)

• lookbackDays — how many days back to scan (cap 1).
• states, industryGroups, sectorKeywords, minRaiseUsd, maxRaiseUsd, includeYetToSell, filingTypes — your sector / geography / deal-size window.
• maxFilingDates (cap 2), maxFilings, maxLeads (cap 3).
• secUserAgent — a descriptive User-Agent with a real contact (required by SEC fair-access).

Billing

Pay-per-event, listed price = charged price:

• apify-actor-start — reserved system event, auto-charged by the platform.
• leads_report — charged exactly once, only after the report is successfully built and pushed. An empty window over a valid search is a delivered report and is charged. A source failure (EDGAR blocked, shape drift, missing User-Agent) fails loud and charges nothing.

Honest limits

A Form D is an issuer-filed notice of an exempt offering — not proof the raise closed, of company quality, or of investor intent. Issuers sometimes omit amounts (Indefinite amounts become null and score 0 on size). The score is a prospecting heuristic, not investment advice. Public, logged-out EDGAR only; the actor self-throttles below SEC's rate ceiling and fails loud on EDGAR outages or fair-access controls — never a silent empty success.
