Recently Funded Companies API: SEC Form D funding feed (startup funding leads)

Get a daily list of US companies that just raised money, straight from official SEC Form D filings: amount raised, round size, date of first sale, industry, city and state, executives, directors and promoters, website and a link to the filing.

Every company that sells securities under Regulation D (most private startup rounds, SAFEs, convertible notes, private-equity and real-estate raises) must file a Form D with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale. This Actor reads those filings from SEC EDGAR's free public endpoints, parses the structured XML, filters them the way you want (state, industry, minimum amount, funds excluded by default) and returns one clean row per filing. No login, no API key, no proxies.

Built and maintained by Steadyline Data.

Use cases

• Sales prospecting: companies that just closed a round have budget. Reach them in the first weeks after the raise, when they buy tools and hire.
• Recruiting and staffing: freshly funded startups hire next. Get a daily list of new seed and Series A raises in your state or industry.
• Investor and VC deal flow: see who raised, how much, from which state and sector, and who sits on the board.
• Market research: track funding activity by industry group, state or round size over time.
• Service providers: banks, insurers, accountants, lawyers, office and HR vendors targeting newly funded companies.
• CRM enrichment: add "raised $X on date Y" to accounts you already track, with the SEC filing as proof.

Why use it

• Official source, fresh every day. Data comes directly from SEC EDGAR (daily Form D index + each filing's primary_doc.xml). Every row links to the filing on sec.gov.
• Operating companies, not funds. About a third of Form D filings are VC, PE, hedge or real-estate funds. They are excluded by default, so the feed is companies.
• Filters that save money. State, industry group or whole sector, minimum amount raised, minimum offering size, first-sale date. Only rows that pass are charged.
• People as filed. Executive officers, directors and promoters with their roles, exactly as listed publicly in the filing.
• Website when it can be found. From the company's SEC profile, or a conservative name match that is verified on the company's homepage. Left blank rather than guessed.
• Ready for enrichment. Feed websiteDomain into our contact, domain and tech-stack Actors (recipes below).
• Polite to the SEC. Descriptive User-Agent and at most 10 requests per second, as SEC fair-access rules require.

Dataset views: Funded companies (overview), Leads (with website) and All fields. A RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store shows days scanned, filings listed and parsed, counts filtered by reason, websites found and the number of SEC requests.

About the website field

Form D has no website field. The Actor fills it in two ways:

1. sec-profile: the website on the company's public SEC EDGAR profile, when the company has listed one.
2. domain-match: if the profile has none, it tries <name>.com/.io/.ai/.co. A domain is kept only if the homepage title names the company, the page is not parked or for sale, and either the company's city or state appears on the page (high) or the name is distinctive, 10 or more letters (medium). Funds and generic SPV or real-estate names are skipped.

Anything that does not verify is left blank. Expect a website on roughly 10–30% of rows, more for venture-backed tech and health-care companies and fewer for real-estate vehicles.

Pricing: cost per 1,000 funded companies

Pay per event, no subscription:

Event	Price	Per 1,000
Funded company (one Form D row that passed your filters)	$0.002	$2.00
Actor start (Apify standard)	$0.00005 per run	–

Filings that your filters drop, and filings that cannot be read, are never charged. A typical weekday has 150–300 Form D filings, roughly 100–200 after funds are excluded, so a daily all-US feed costs about $0.20–$0.40 a day. Set maxResults or a maximum cost per run to cap spend; the Actor stops cleanly when the cap is reached.

Recipes: enrich funded companies with Steadyline Data tools

Run this Actor, collect websiteDomain from the rows that have one, and pass the domains to:

• Website Contact Extractor for public business emails, phone numbers and social profiles (startUrls).
• Domain Intel for domain age (RDAP), DNS, SSL, SPF and DMARC (domains). A brand-new domain plus a fresh Form D is a strong "new startup" signal.
• Tech Stack Detector to see the CMS, analytics, payments and other tools they use (domains).

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("steadyline/sec-form-d-funded-companies").call(run_input={
    "lastNDays": 7, "industries": ["Technology"], "minAmountSold": 500000, "maxResults": 300,
})
rows = list(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
domains = sorted({r["websiteDomain"] for r in rows if r.get("websiteDomain")})

contacts = client.actor("steadyline/website-contact-extractor").call(run_input={"startUrls": [f"https://{d}" for d in domains]})
intel = client.actor("steadyline/domain-intel").call(run_input={"domains": domains})
stack = client.actor("steadyline/tech-stack-detector").call(run_input={"domains": domains})

by_domain = {r["websiteDomain"]: r for r in rows if r.get("websiteDomain")}
for c in client.dataset(contacts["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(c.get("site"), c.get("emails"), c.get("linkedin"))

JavaScript (npm i apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor('steadyline/sec-form-d-funded-companies').call({ lastNDays: 3, states: ['CA'], maxResults: 100 });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
const domains = [...new Set(items.map((r) => r.websiteDomain).filter(Boolean))];
const stack = await client.actor('steadyline/tech-stack-detector').call({ domains });

No code: create a saved Task of this Actor with a daily Schedule, then on the Task's Integrations tab add "Run Actor" (Actor-to-Actor integration) for Website Contact Extractor, Domain Intel or Tech Stack Detector, mapping websiteDomain from the dataset. Or use Make, Zapier or n8n to run the chain and push results to Google Sheets, HubSpot or Slack.

Use it from AI agents (MCP), Zapier, Make, n8n or the API

AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT and other MCP clients). Add Apify's hosted MCP server with just this Actor as a tool:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=steadyline/sec-form-d-funded-companies"
    }
  }
}

Sign in with Apify (OAuth) on first connect, or add an Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> header. Then ask your agent, for example:

Use steadyline/sec-form-d-funded-companies to list biotech companies in Massachusetts that raised at least $2M in the last 30 days, with their directors and filing links.

Zapier, Make and n8n. Use the official Apify app: Zapier "Run Actor" action, Make "Run an Actor" module, or the n8n Apify node. Choose steadyline/sec-form-d-funded-companies, paste the input below, then use "Get dataset items" to send results to Google Sheets, Slack, a CRM or a database.

API (any language). Run it and get the results in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/steadyline~sec-form-d-funded-companies/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lastNDays": 7, "minAmountSold": 1000000, "maxResults": 50}'

FAQ

What is a Form D? A short notice filed with the SEC by companies raising money privately under Regulation D (Rule 504, 506(b) or 506(c)) or Section 4(a)(5). It lists the issuer, its industry, the offering size, the amount sold, the date of first sale and the company's executive officers, directors and promoters.

How fresh is the data? SEC publishes each business day's Form D index in the evening (US Eastern), so a daily morning schedule picks up the previous day's filings. Weekends and federal holidays have no filings.

Why is the amount raised 0? Some companies file before or right at the first sale, or file for a round that is still open. totalOfferingAmount shows the target; firstSaleYetToOccur is true when no money has come in yet.

Is the date of first sale the funding date? It is the date the first investor money was received in this offering. Filters on filingDate (range) and dateOfFirstSale (firstSaleOnOrAfter) are both available.

Does it include crowdfunding (Form C) or IPOs? No. Only Form D (and optionally D/A).

Can I get older filings? Yes. Set startDate/endDate (up to 400 days per run; split longer ranges). EDGAR electronic Form D filings go back to 2009.

Why do some names look like "XYZ 306 LLC" or "Series 23-1"? Those are special-purpose vehicles and real-estate syndications that file Form D too. Use industries, minAmountSold or keep excludePooledFunds on to focus on operating companies.

Legal and data note

This Actor uses only public SEC EDGAR data (the daily form index, Form D XML filings and EDGAR company profiles), accessed under SEC fair-access rules: a descriptive User-Agent with a contact address and at most 10 requests per second. Related-person names and roles are returned exactly as filed publicly with the SEC; their home addresses are not output. The optional website lookup reads only the public homepage of candidate domains. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws (for example anti-spam and data-protection rules such as CAN-SPAM, GDPR and CCPA) when contacting anyone.
