Every new SEC Form D filing as a structured sales lead: who is raising, how much, how much is already sold, how many investors are in, and which officers signed. Straight from official EDGAR, no login, $0.0025 per filing.

Form D is the notice a company files with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale in a private placement. It is the earliest public, official trace that a startup, operating company or fund has just taken in outside money.

Startup funding leads from an official source: a company selling securities in a private round files Form D with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale. With pooled investment funds excluded (the default), each row is a company that just reported a raise, with the amount sold, the number of investors and the officers who signed. Not every filer is a startup; filters below narrow the list.

Run it now. Paste this into the Input tab (JSON view) and press Start:

{
  "lookbackDays": 3,
  "excludePooledFunds": true,
  "maxResults": 50,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false
}

At most 50 filings x $0.0025 plus a $0.00005 start fee = about $0.13 for this input. Measured: default-input test runs on 2026-10-11 (5 filings) took 3.1 to 3.8 seconds of run time.

Run in 30 seconds

1. Open the prefilled run (free Apify account; it creates a saved task with a working input).
2. Press Start. The input is small on purpose, so the first run is quick and costs a few cents at most.
3. Open the Output tab, switch to Table view, download as CSV, Excel or JSON.

Ready-made presets by use case (each opens as a saved task you can edit):

• Biotech funding rounds this month
• California startup raises last week

Why choose this over alternatives

• Form D filings straight from SEC EDGAR as lead rows: issuer, industry, offering size, amount sold, investors, first-sale date and officers.
• Exclude pooled investment funds, filter by industry, state and size.
• Deduplicated across runs, so a daily schedule only returns new filings.
• 102 automated tests pass on the current build.

What you get

One flat row per filing. Amounts are numbers, dates are ISO (YYYY-MM-DD).

• Filing: accession number, filing date, form type (D or D/A), amendment flag and previous accession, link to the SEC filing page and primary document.
• Issuer: CIK, entity name, entity type (Corporation, LLC, LP...), jurisdiction and year of incorporation, business address and business phone (company-level), industry group, fund type, revenue range when disclosed.
• Offering: total offering amount, amount sold, amount remaining, minimum investment, date of first sale, number of investors already invested, federal exemptions claimed, sales commissions, finders fees, proceeds paid to related persons.

Quick start

Zero config: press Start. You get the newest 50 Form D filings from the last 3 business days, pooled funds excluded, in under a minute.

Example 1: recently funded biotech in California or Massachusetts, at least $1M sold

{ "lookbackDays": 10, "industryGroups": ["Biotechnology", "Pharmaceuticals"], "states": ["CA", "MA"], "minAmountSold": 1000000, "maxResults": 100 }

Example 2: daily feed of new raises of $5M+ including amendments

{ "lookbackDays": 1, "includeAmendments": true, "minOfferingAmount": 5000000, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": true, "maxResults": 500 }

Schedule the second one daily: with onlyNewSinceLastRun on, each run returns only filings you have not received before.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.0025 per Form D filing returned ($2.50 per 1,000) plus a $0.00005 start fee. Filings that are filtered out or already delivered in an earlier run are never charged. Set a max charge in the run options and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Run	Filings	Cost
Zero-config default	50	about $0.13
Daily feed, ~40 new operating-company raises a day	40	about $0.10 per day
Weekly sweep, 500 filings	500	about $1.25

Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credit, which covers about 1,500 Form D filings with this actor (at $0.0025 per result, plus small platform usage). Paid Apify plans get the same data with no monthly cap; scheduled daily runs stay cheap because each run only returns new records.

Use it with the API, n8n, Make, Zapier, Clay and AI agents

• API: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/transparent_meteorite~sec-form-d-funding-leads/runs with your input as the JSON body, then read the dataset items.
• n8n, Make, Zapier: use the Apify integration to run the actor on a schedule and push rows to your CRM, Slack or a Google Sheet.
• Clay and CRMs: import the dataset as CSV or JSON, match on company name and businessPhone, enrich contacts with your own tool.
• AI agents: the actor is available through the Apify MCP server, so an agent can call it with filters ("biotech raises in Texas over $2M this week") and read structured rows.

Use from AI agents (MCP, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity)

SEC Form D Funding Leads works as a tool for AI assistants through the official Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT connectors, VS Code):

https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=transparent_meteorite/sec-form-d-funding-leads

Claude Desktop / Cursor config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=transparent_meteorite/sec-form-d-funding-leads",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" }
    }
  }
}

Then ask in plain language, for example: "How do I get a list of companies that just raised money?"

Call it directly over HTTP (runs the actor and returns the dataset items in one request):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/transparent_meteorite~sec-form-d-funding-leads/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lookbackDays": 3, "excludePooledFunds": true, "maxResults": 50, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false}'

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("transparent_meteorite/sec-form-d-funding-leads").call(run_input={"lookbackDays": 3, "excludePooledFunds": true, "maxResults": 50, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

The same actor works in n8n, Make, Zapier, LangChain, LlamaIndex and CrewAI through their Apify integrations.

Questions people ask

How do I get a list of companies that just raised money? Run this actor with lookbackDays 3 and excludePooledFunds true; each row is a company that filed a Form D in that window.

Is Form D data an official source? Yes, it comes from SEC EDGAR filings.

Can I filter by industry or amount? Yes, use industryGroups, states, minAmountSold and minOfferingAmount.

Use it from code

Small real input: it returns only a couple of rows, so a test run costs very little (see Pricing). Set the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable to your token from Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations.

Python (pip install apify-client)

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run_input = {'lookbackDays': 3, 'maxResults': 2, 'onlyNewSinceLastRun': False}
run = client.actor("transparent_meteorite/sec-form-d-funding-leads").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / Node.js (npm install apify-client)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const input = {
  "lookbackDays": 3,
  "maxResults": 2,
  "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false
};
const run = await client.actor('transparent_meteorite/sec-form-d-funding-leads').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

curl (runs the actor and returns the dataset items in one call)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/transparent_meteorite~sec-form-d-funding-leads/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"lookbackDays": 3, "maxResults": 2, "onlyNewSinceLastRun": false}'

Send results to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n

• Google Sheets: every run's dataset has a CSV export link: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?format=csv&clean=true (the dataset ID is on the run's Storage tab). In Sheets, =IMPORTDATA("<that link>") loads it. Anyone with the link can read that dataset, so share it carefully. To export to Google Drive automatically, use the Google Drive integration on the actor's Integrations tab.
• Zapier: in the Apify app, use the trigger Finished Actor run (or Run Actor as an action) with transparent_meteorite/sec-form-d-funding-leads, then Fetch dataset items and pass the rows to Google Sheets, a CRM or Slack.
• Make: the Apify app has Watch Actor Runs, Run an Actor and Get Dataset Items modules; connect them to any Make app.
• n8n: install the Apify node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify) and use Run an Actor and get dataset, or the On new Apify event trigger.
• Schedule and webhooks: create a Task with your input, add a Schedule in Apify Console, and add a webhook if you want a call when a run finishes.

See the Apify integrations docs for setup steps.

Use cases

• Startup funding leads by sector: industryGroups (for example Biotechnology or Business Services) plus minAmountSold keep only meaningful raises.
• Regional startup funding leads: states (for example CA, NY, TX) keeps companies with a business address in your territory.

• B2B sales: reach companies right after they file a Form D (a common sign of fresh funding).
• VCs and analysts: a structured feed of private offerings by industry, state and amount.
• Banking and fintech business development: find newly funded companies in your region.
• Research: track private-offering activity over time with a daily schedule.

FAQ

Are all Form D filers startups? No. Form D is filed by any issuer raising money in a private placement, including established companies and investment funds. Keep excludePooledFunds on (the default) and use industryGroups, states and minAmountSold to narrow the list to the startup funding leads you want.

How quickly do new startup funding leads show up? The actor reads the SEC EDGAR daily index, so a filing is available once EDGAR has indexed it. Form D itself is due within 15 days of the first sale.

Is this legal and allowed? Yes. It reads the SEC's public EDGAR daily index and filing documents, which the SEC publishes for anyone. No login or paywall is involved. The actor identifies itself with a descriptive User-Agent and stays under 5 requests per second, as SEC fair-access rules require.

How do I find recently funded startups from SEC filings? Run this actor with excludePooledFunds on (default) so only operating companies remain, then filter by industry, state and minAmountSold. Each row is a company that reported a private placement.

What is the difference between Form D and a press release about a funding round? Form D is a legal notice of a securities offering, filed after the first sale. It shows the offering size and amount sold, but it does not name investors and may not match announced round sizes. See limitations below.

Can I get emails for the people listed? No. Form D lists officers, directors and promoters by name and role only. Related persons' addresses are not included in the output. The business phone is the company's.

How fresh is the data? Filings appear in the EDGAR daily index the business day after they are accepted. Run it daily with onlyNewSinceLastRun to get each filing once.

Why are some amounts empty? Issuers may declare an offering "Indefinite" or leave a field blank. The actor returns null rather than guessing, and offeringIsIndefinite tells you which case it was.

How does dedupe work across runs? Delivered accession numbers are stored in a named key-value store (sec-form-d-funding-leads-seen) that persists between runs. Change stateStoreName to keep separate feeds, or turn onlyNewSinceLastRun off to get everything again.

More questions

How do I get a list of companies that just raised money? Run the actor with lookbackDays; it reads the official SEC EDGAR Form D filings and returns one row per filing with the issuer, amounts and industry.

Can I exclude investment funds? Yes. excludePooledFunds drops pooled investment funds, and excludeLimitedPartnerships drops issuers whose names end in LP, L.P., LLLP or Fund.

Can I filter by industry, state or size? Yes: industryGroups, states, minAmountSold and minOfferingAmount.

Is this an official source? Yes. Data comes from SEC EDGAR. Amounts are as reported by the issuer.

Can I get only new filings each day? Yes. onlyNewSinceLastRun (on by default) skips filings already returned.

How this compares

EDGAR is free and public, and you can read Form D filings there yourself. This actor turns the daily filings into a filtered lead table (funds and LPs removed if you want, industry and amount filters, only-new mode). Funding databases may add verified round details and investor data; this actor reports what the issuer filed on Form D.

Limitations

• A Form D is a notice of a raise, not a press release. Amounts are what the issuer reported; the round may be larger, smaller or still open.
• Investors are not named, only counted.
• No email addresses and no related-person home addresses.
• The daily index lists filings alphabetically. With a small maxResults and a wide lookbackDays you get the first matching filings in that order, not the largest. Use minAmountSold or minOfferingAmount to focus.
• "Lookback" counts business days (Monday to Friday). Holidays and a not-yet-published current day are skipped automatically.
• Scanning a wide window with narrow filters fetches every filing in it (about 7 per second), so such runs take longer.
• Only Form D and D/A are covered (not Regulation A, Form 1-K or other exempt-offering forms).

Reliability

Last 30 days, measured from Apify run records (all runs, including our own daily health checks): 23 of 23 finished runs succeeded (100.0%), median run time 9.6 s (90th percentile 29.4 s). Aborted runs (0) are not counted.
