## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Startup Funding Rounds & Founder Leads API (Real-Time SEC Form D Live)

Reach **newly funded US Tech, AI, SaaS, Biotech & Commercial startups days or weeks before Crunchbase or TechCrunch** — directly from live **SEC EDGAR Regulation D (`Form D`) XML filings**.

When a US startup wires its first venture, seed, or Series A/B check, federal law requires filing **Form D** within 15 days — disclosing the **exact USD raised, CEO/Founder full names, headquarters street address, and direct company phone number**.

***

### Why Outbound Teams & VCs Use This Actor

1. **Automatically Filters Out Hedge Funds & SPVs**: Over 60% of raw SEC Form D filings are pooled Private Equity or Hedge Funds. Unlike raw EDGAR scrapers, this API parses the official XML `<industryGroupType>` and `<isPooledInvestmentFundType>` tags to deliver **100% real operating Tech, Healthcare, and Commercial startups**.
2. **Verified Capital Wired (`minAmountRaisedUsd`)**: Filters out zero-dollar placeholder filings so your SDRs only contact companies with verified cash in the bank (`$250K`, `$1M`, `$5M`, `$20M+`).
3. **Direct Founder, CEO & Board Roster + Phone Number**: Extracts every executive officer and director from `<relatedPersonsList>` plus the signer's exact title (`CEO`, `President`, `CTO`, `CFO`) and the company's direct phone number (`companyPhone`).
4. **Zero Browser Overhead**: Pure async HTTP/2 + XML streaming in `256 MB RAM` for Clay.com, n8n, Make, and **MCP AI Agents**.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call ramirez911/startup-funding-sec-form-d-leads-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ramirez911/startup-funding-sec-form-d-leads-api"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
