Funded Startup Lead Pipeline: Form D Plus Contacts

Find companies that just raised money and turn them into ready B2B leads, complete with the named decision makers and, where available, a website, phone, and contact emails.

When a private company raises capital it files a Form D with the SEC. That filing is public, dated, and names the executives. This pipeline reads those filings, drops the investment funds and SPVs, and hands you the operating companies that just got fresh budget.

For each run it:

1. Pulls recent Form D raises from EDGAR. Full-text search for Form D filings in your date window, then parses each filing for the company name, amount offered and sold, industry, named executives and directors, and the issuer city and state. Pooled investment funds are filtered out so you get real operating companies.
2. Enriches the top leads with contacts. It looks up each company on Google Maps for a website and phone, then scrapes contact emails from the site. This stage is optional and capped so runs stay fast.
3. Scores and tiers each lead. A 0 to 100 score from the raise size, recency, named decision makers, and contactability, then a tier.

The funding side is plain EDGAR HTTP and JSON. No browser, no API keys.

Who buys this

• Sales teams selling tools and services to newly funded companies that now have budget.
• Recruiters and staffing targeting companies that just raised and are about to hire.
• VCs and competitive intel tracking who is raising in a sector, and how much.

Tiers and pricing

Pay per lead. The first hot_lead per run is free so you can validate output.

Tier	Meaning	Price
lead	An operating company that recently filed a Form D raise	$0.03
qualified_lead	A raise of 250k+ sold, or one with named decision makers and a matched website or phone	$0.07
hot_lead	A recent 1M+ raise with a named decision maker or matched contact info	$0.12

Combined cost note. When includeContacts is on, this pipeline calls google-maps-scraper, which bills its own per-place charges to you in the same run. The Maps child runs with website enrichment off (emails are scraped cheaply in the parent), so total compute stays small. Turn includeContacts off for funding data only.
