SEC Form D Scraper: Startup Funding Leads & Alerts

What does SEC Form D Startup Funding Leads do?

SEC Form D Startup Funding Leads turns official SEC EDGAR Form D filings into a clean list of companies that just raised private money. Every U.S. startup or private company that sells shares under Regulation D (Rule 506(b), 506(c), 504) must file a Form D within 15 days of the first sale. That makes Form D the earliest public signal of a new funding round, often before any press release.

Filter by filing date, state, industry, offering size, amount already raised, company type and age, and get one row per filing with the company name, address, phone, industry, amount raised and offered, number of investors, executives and directors (as filed), brokers and a link to the filing on sec.gov. Turn on Only new and schedule it for daily new-funding alerts.

• Uses only official, free SEC EDGAR sources (EDGAR full-text search, the EDGAR daily index and each filing's Form D XML). No scraping of third-party sites, no API key, no SEC account.
• Investment funds and SPVs are excluded by default (they are most Form D filings), so you get operating companies. Switch it off to track VC, PE and hedge fund raises.
• Pay per filing: no subscription, you only pay for filings returned.
• Export to CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or HTML, or send to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Slack, email, Zapier or Make with Apify integrations and the API.

Who is this Form D scraper for?

• B2B sales and agencies selling to freshly funded startups: SaaS, recruiting, legal, accounting, office space, insurance, payroll, marketing. A company that just raised $2M is about to spend it.
• Investors, VCs and angels tracking who is raising, how much, in which sector and state.
• Wealth managers and private bankers looking for founders with a new liquidity event.
• Researchers and journalists analysing private capital formation by industry or region.

The run summary (OUTPUT in the key-value store) shows filings found in EDGAR per day, how many were checked and matched, already-seen filings skipped and SEC request stats.

How much does it cost?

Pay per event: a small fee per filing returned plus a small fee per run (see the Pricing tab). A daily alert that finds 10 new filings costs a few cents. Set Max cost per run in the run options to cap spending; the Actor stops cleanly at that limit and you are never charged for filings it didn't return.

Tips

• Amounts are as filed. totalAmountSold is what the company had raised when it filed; amendments (Form D/A) often report higher totals later. Use Amendments: Only to track follow-on updates.
• Most companies choose "Decline to Disclose" for revenue, and many funds file the offering amount as "Indefinite".
• Startups usually file under Other Technology, Biotechnology, Other Health Care, Business Services or Computers. Real-estate syndications file under Commercial, Residential or Other Real Estate.
• State is the issuer's business address on EDGAR. EDGAR country codes also work (A6 = Canada, X0 = United Kingdom).
• Narrow filters over long date ranges scan more filings. The Actor reads about 5 filings per second to respect SEC limits; raise Max filings to scan for big historical pulls.

Data source and limitations

All data comes from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system: EDGAR full-text search, the EDGAR daily index and each filing's Form D XML document. EDGAR filings are public records. The Actor follows the SEC's fair access rules (declared User-Agent, well under 10 requests per second). It reproduces what the filer submitted and does not verify it. Personal street addresses of related persons are not included. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC. If you contact people from this data, follow applicable laws such as CAN-SPAM and the TCPA.

FAQ

Do I need an SEC or EDGAR account or API key?

No. EDGAR is free and public.

How fresh is the data?

Filings appear in EDGAR full-text search within minutes of acceptance. Run the Actor daily (or several times a day) with Only new for alerts.

What is a Form D?

A short notice companies file with the SEC when they sell securities without registering them under Regulation D or Section 4(a)(5). It lists the issuer, its executives and directors, the industry, the offering size, how much has been sold and to how many investors.

Can I get historical Form D filings?

Yes. Set Filed from / Filed to to any range since 2009 (when Form D became electronic).

Can I use it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?

Yes. Use the Apify API or client libraries (see the API tab), or the Apify MCP server so AI assistants can call it as a tool.
