Startup Funding Rounds – Crunchbase Alternative (SEC Form D)

A daily list of US startups and private companies raising money, straight from official SEC Form D filings: company, industry, state, amount raised and offered, date of first sale, number of investors and security type. Filter by industry, state and amount; schedule daily for new-round alerts. A legal, low-cost alternative to paid funding databases.

Why this one

• Official and fresh. Companies must file Form D within 15 days of the first sale in a private round – the earliest public signal of most venture rounds.
• Clean company data. Industry group, revenue range, entity type, jurisdiction, year of incorporation, business address and phone – ready for CRM import.
• Signal, not noise. Investment funds and SPVs (most Form D filings) are filtered out unless you want them; amendments are optional.
• Alerts. "Only new rounds" + a daily schedule = each round once.
• No person data. Executives, directors, promoters and signers listed in the filing are never collected.

Use it from code, n8n or AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, the Python or JavaScript client, n8n, Make or Zapier – or let an AI agent call it through the Apify MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor).

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("ram1eal/startup-funding-rounds").call(run_input={"since":"7 days","industries":["Other Technology"]})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client
  .actor('ram1eal/startup-funding-rounds')
  .call({ since: '7 days', industries: ['Other Technology'] });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

MCP: add ram1eal/startup-funding-rounds to the Apify MCP server and ask in plain English – the agent fills the input and pays per result.

Data sourcing & compliance

• SEC EDGAR daily form index and Form D XML documents – U.S. government data, public domain.
• SEC fair-access rules respected: declared User-Agent, under 10 requests per second.
• Person data in Form D (related persons, signers, sales-compensation recipients) is never read.

FAQ

• Is every startup round here? Most US venture rounds file Form D, but some companies file late or use other exemptions.
• Why is the offering amount empty? Funds often report it as "Indefinite" (offeringAmountIndefinite: true).
• Who are the investors? Form D does not name investors – only their number.
• What if something breaks? Open an issue – typical response under 12 hours.
