SEC Form D API: Newly Funded Company Data

When a US company raises private capital under Regulation D — the exemption behind most private rounds — it must file a Form D with the SEC within 15 days. This Actor turns those filings into a clean feed of companies that just got funded, with the amount raised, the business address, the phone number, and the names of every officer and director.

Roughly 35,000 Form D filings are made each year — about 140 on a typical business day. About two-thirds come from pooled investment funds — hedge funds, private equity, venture funds and SPVs. This Actor detects them on four separate signals and filters them out, so you are left with operating companies.

No API key. No login. No anti-bot. The SEC states: "All Government-created content on sec.gov and EDGAR public filing content are free to access and reuse."

Who uses newly funded company data

Sales teams selling into freshly funded startups. A company that closed $8M last week has budget and is about to spend it. Each row carries the issuer's phone number and business address, plus named executives and where they are based — enough to route a lead without an enrichment step.

Deal sourcers. Filter to your sector and cheque size and get a standing list of private raises in your thesis. A Form D lands in EDGAR days or weeks before the round is announced anywhere.

Recruiters. Companies that just raised are companies that are about to hire.

Anyone tracking a fund family or competitor set. Use the company-name filter to follow a specific issuer pattern across filings.

AI agents. Flat rows, no nesting, stable field types — callable through the Apify MCP server as a tool.

Example output: one Form D filing as a flat row

Open-ended offerings report their target as "Indefinite" rather than a number. Those come back as null — never as a guess.

Example input: a daily feed of recently funded companies

  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true, "trackerName": "daily-1m-raises", "maxItems": 0 }

A one-off historical pull of Texas technology raises:

  "industryGroups": ["Other Technology", "Computers", "Business Services"],
  "states": ["TX"], "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false, "maxItems": 0 }

Form D lookup, search and database fields

• Reads the official SEC EDGAR daily index, then parses each filing's primary_doc.xml into one flat row
• Separates operating companies from pooled investment funds — hedge funds, PE, VC and SPVs — which are about two-thirds of all filings and pure noise for most buyers. Four signals are checked, not just the industry label; a single-signal filter leaks roughly 8% of funds through
• Joins each filing to the company's own raise history — raise number, previous amount, growth multiple, serial-filer warning, and EIN
• Extracts named officers, directors and promoters with their role and the city and state they filed from. Their street addresses are left out on purpose — many are home addresses
• Filters by date, amount raised, industry, US state, and company name
• Only-new-since-last-run mode — remembers what it has given you, so a daily schedule bills you only for new companies
• Reports how old the raise actually is (daysSinceFirstSale), not just when the paperwork landed — the median filing arrives 70 days after the first sale, and a fifth of leads are already outside the buying window on the day they are delivered
• Handles the "Indefinite" offering amount correctly instead of coercing it to zero — 47% of filings report no fixed target

Raise history: the part no other Form D tool has

A Form D on its own gives you a company name you have never heard of and a dollar figure. That is why most funding tools quietly fall back on press coverage.

This Actor joins every filing to the company's own earlier filings, so each row tells you whether the company is actually going anywhere:

Row as everyone else ships it	Row with raise history
Rightway Healthcare — $155,000,000	raise #5, previously $108,749,915 — 1.43x
Lola's Fine Sauces — $600,480	raise #3, previously $96,000 — 6.25x
NOVAPHOS Inc. — $1,944,522	raise #15, previously $7,000,000 — 0.28x, a down round
VECTORMAX Corp — $7,500	raise #88 — serial filer, skip it

Those are real rows from a single day. The last one matters most: companies that file dozens of tiny offerings look identical to genuine raises until you count their history, and every other tool in this category will sell you that row as a hot lead.

Each enriched row carries raiseNumber, priorRaiseCount, previousAmountSold, cumulativePriorAmountSold, growthMultiple, daysSincePreviousRaise, isSerialFiler, firstRaiseDate — and the company's EIN, a far better CRM key than a fuzzy company name.

A Crunchbase alternative built on public Regulation D data

Form D is the primary regulatory record behind a large share of what funding databases resell. Reading it directly costs a fraction of a Crunchbase or PitchBook seat, and the data is first-party rather than aggregated.

What Form D does and does not disclose

• It does not name investors. Form D discloses the issuer, the amount, and the issuer's own officers and directors — not who put the money in. Any tool claiming otherwise is inferring.
• The industry filter uses the SEC's own labels, which are coarse and have no plain "Technology", "Health Care" or "Fintech" option — the closest are "Other Technology" and "Other Health Care", and the largest single bucket is literally "Other". Form D carries no business description, so precise sector targeting is not possible on this data. Real-estate offerings are retained by the operating-company filter; exclude them by industry if you don't want them.
• It covers Regulation D offerings only. It does not cover Reg A+ (Form 1-A), Reg CF (Form C), Reg S, public offerings, or Section 4(a)(2) placements made outside the Reg D safe harbour — those require no Form D at all.
• Structured Form D data begins around September 2008, when electronic filing started. Earlier date ranges return nothing.
• It does not enrich with emails or LinkedIn profiles. You get what the filing says, plus a link to the filing.
• Missing values are null. Nothing is inferred.

Pricing

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
Filing returned	$0.025 — $25 per 1,000 filings
Raise history added	$0.008 — charged only when a company's history actually resolves

A fully enriched row is $33 per 1,000. Turn raise history off and it is $25. The complete US operating-company feed is roughly 1,900 filings a month, so a full daily subscription runs about $63/month — against $49–99 for comparable funding-lead lists that carry no history at all, and a fraction of a Crunchbase seat.

You are not charged for retried requests, filings excluded by your filters, duplicates suppressed in only-new mode, a scheduled run that finds nothing new, or raise-history lookups that come back empty. Users on paid Apify plans pay less per filing.

Run it on a schedule or from the SEC EDGAR API

Console — open the Actor, press Start. The defaults return real filings immediately.

On a schedule — add a daily Schedule. onlyNewSinceLastRun is on by default, so you are billed only for filings you have not already received. This is the intended way to use it.

Compliance, rate limits and data quality

• Public data only. Everything comes from the SEC's public EDGAR archive. No login, no paywall, nothing bypassed.
• The SEC asks automated callers to declare a User-Agent and stay under 10 requests per second. This Actor does both.
• Form D is self-reported by the issuer. Amounts and addresses are as filed and are occasionally stale or wrong.
• Amendments (D/A) are excluded by default so each company appears once. Turn them on to track progress within a round.
• Filings name real people. This Actor returns their name, role, city and state, but not their street address. Use that data in line with your own obligations.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. None exists for EDGAR. Nothing to sign up for.

How fresh is it? EDGAR publishes the daily index the evening of each business day. Run tomorrow morning and you have today's filings.

Why does most of the result set disappear when I turn on "Real companies only"? Because about two-thirds of Form D filers are pooled investment funds — hedge funds, PE, VC and SPVs. That filter is doing exactly what you want.

Does Form D tell me who invested? No. It reports the issuer, the amount, and the issuer's own officers and directors. Investor identities are not disclosed on the form.

What is the difference between offering amount and amount sold? The offering amount is the target; amount sold is what has actually closed. totalAmountSold is the number that matters.

Can I pull years of history? Yes — set dateFrom and dateTo and maxItems: 0. Large ranges take longer because the Actor stays under the SEC's rate limit.
