## 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

## SEC Form D Scraper: Startup Funding & Private Placement Leads

Find **US companies that just raised money**, straight from official **SEC EDGAR Form D filings**. Every result is a ready-to-use B2B lead: **company name, executives and directors, the person who signed the filing and their title, phone number, full address, industry, amount raised, amount already sold, number of investors**, year of incorporation, securities offered and the Regulation D exemption. It works as a low-cost **Crunchbase / PitchBook alternative** for fresh funding signals.

**No API key, no login, no proxies.** The actor reads the SEC's public EDGAR daily indexes and each filing's structured XML, following the SEC fair-access policy.

### Why Form D?

Companies raising money privately in the US (seed rounds, Series A–C, SAFEs, convertible notes, real-estate syndications, oil & gas programs) must file a **Form D within 15 days of the first sale**. That makes Form D the **earliest public signal** that a company has fresh cash and is about to hire, buy software, open an office and need banking, insurance and services. Often this happens weeks before a press release.

### What can this Form D scraper do?

- 💸 **Newly funded companies** in any date window ("last 7 days" updates itself for scheduled runs)
- 🏢 **Operating companies only** by default: pooled investment funds (hedge, PE, VC, real-estate funds, about 70% of filings) are filtered out, and you can turn them back on with one switch
- 🧑‍💼 **Executives, directors and promoters** with roles, plus the **signer's name and title** (usually the CEO or CFO)
- ☎️ **Issuer phone (E.164) and full address** for outreach and territory routing
- 🏷️ **35 industry groups** (Other Technology, Biotechnology, Health Care, Real Estate, Energy, Manufacturing…)
- 💰 **Total offering, amount sold, amount remaining, minimum investment, investor count**, sales commissions and finder's fees
- 🧾 **Regulation D exemption** (506(b), 506(c), 504, 4(a)(5)…) and **securities type** (equity, debt, SAFE, options…)
- 🧭 **Filters:** state, industry, minimum offering, minimum amount sold, young companies only (incorporated within 5 years), name contains, amendments on/off
- 🔗 Link to the **SEC filing** for every result

### Who uses Form D leads?

| Team | Play |
| --- | --- |
| **B2B SaaS & agencies** | Reach founders right after the round closes, when budgets open |
| **Banks, fintech, treasury & payroll providers** | New cash means new accounts and payroll |
| **Commercial insurance brokers** | D\&O, cyber and key-person coverage for newly funded companies |
| **Recruiters & staffing firms** | Funded startups hire within weeks |
| **Commercial real estate & office providers** | Growing teams need space |
| **VCs, analysts & journalists** | Track private-market activity by sector and state |
| **Fund administrators & compliance services** | Turn on pooled funds to find newly launched funds |

### How to use it

1. Click **Try for free**. The input is prefilled with **operating companies that filed a Form D in the last 7 days**, so the first run works in one click.
2. Narrow by **industries, states, minimum amount sold** or **young companies only**.
3. Click **Start** and export to **CSV, Excel, JSON**, or push to your CRM with Zapier, Make, HubSpot, Google Sheets or webhooks.
4. **Schedule it daily** with `Filed on or after = 1 day` to get every new raise each morning.

}
```

The **Funding leads** dataset view shows company, filing date, industry, offering, amount sold, investors, executives, signer, phone, city, state and the SEC link.

### How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event: a small fee per run start plus a fixed price per filing returned, currently **about $1.60 per 1,000 funding leads** (see the **Pricing** tab). Filings that don't match your filters are never charged. A daily run returning 60 new raises costs about $0.10. Cap every run with `maxItems`.

### Tips

- **Money already in the bank:** `minAmountSold = 250000` filters out raises that haven't closed anything yet.
- **Startup-only feed:** `newCompaniesOnly = true` + `industries = ["Other Technology"]`.
- **Real-estate syndications:** include `Commercial`, `Residential` and `REITS and Finance`.
- **Fund launches:** turn off `excludePooledFunds` and select `Pooled Investment Fund`.
- **Enrich and clean:** chain with our [US Phone Number Validator](https://apify.com/waags/us-phone-number-validator) (line type, time zone) before calling.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** The SEC's EDGAR system: the official daily form index and the structured `primary_doc.xml` of every Form D. It is the same data shown on sec.gov.

**How fast do filings appear?** EDGAR publishes the daily index the evening of each business day. A daily schedule gives you yesterday's filings every morning.

**Does Form D include emails or websites?** No. Form D contains names, roles, a business phone and address. Use them with your enrichment tool of choice.

**Is this legal?** Yes. Form D filings are public records that the SEC publishes for anyone to use. The actor identifies itself and respects SEC rate limits. Follow CAN-SPAM/TCPA when you reach out.

**Why are some amounts "Indefinite"?** Funds and some issuers report an indefinite offering size. Those have `totalOfferingAmount = null` and `totalOfferingIndefinite = true`.

**Found a bug or need a field?** Open an issue on the **Issues** tab. This actor is monitored daily.

# Actor input Schema

## `filedFrom` (type: `string`):

Only Form D filings filed on or after this date. Use YYYY-MM-DD or a relative value such as "7 days" (7 days ago). Relative values are recomputed on every run, which is ideal for scheduled lead feeds.

## `filedTo` (type: `string`):

Only filings filed on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD or relative). Leave empty for today.

## `includeAmendments` (type: `boolean`):

Also return amended filings. Amendments often report updated amounts sold for an existing raise.

## `excludePooledFunds` (type: `boolean`):

Skip hedge funds, private equity, venture capital and real estate funds (about 70% of all Form D filings) to keep only operating companies, which are the best sales leads.

## `industries` (type: `array`):

Only return issuers in these Form D industry groups. Leave empty for all industries.

## `states` (type: `array`):

2-letter US state codes of the issuer's principal place of business, e.g. CA, NY, TX.

## `minOfferingAmount` (type: `integer`):

Only raises with a total offering amount at or above this value. Offerings marked "Indefinite" are kept.

## `minAmountSold` (type: `integer`):

Only raises that have already sold at least this amount, i.e. money already in the bank.

## `newCompaniesOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only young companies (the issuer reports incorporation within the last five years). Great for startup leads.

## `companyNameContains` (type: `string`):

Case-insensitive filter on the issuer name, e.g. "therapeutics" or "AI".

## `secContactEmail` (type: `string`):

The SEC asks automated tools to identify themselves. If you provide an email it is added to the User-Agent sent to sec.gov. Never stored or shared otherwise.

## `maxFilingsToScan` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on how many filings are downloaded and checked against your filters.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of Form D filings to return. You are charged per result, so this also caps your cost.
