SEC Form D Scraper – Recently Funded Startups & Leads

SEC Form D Scraper: recently funded startups from Form D filings

Who it's for: B2B sales teams, agencies, recruiters, bankers, insurers and investors who want to reach US companies right after they raise money.

What you get: every new SEC Form D filing (Form D filings are the notices companies send the SEC when they raise private money) from EDGAR as a clean row with company name, city and state, business phone, industry, amount raised, round size, number of investors, Rule 506(b)/506(c) exemption, date of first sale and a link to the filing. You can also add the executives named on the filing and a one-line plain-English summary. Schedule it daily with delta mode and you get only new raises, for about one cent per company.

Every US company that raises money under Regulation D has to file a Form D within 15 days of its first sale. That makes Form D one of the earliest public signs that a company has fresh budget, often before any press release. This Actor is a low-cost Crunchbase / PitchBook alternative for new funding signals, built only on official, public SEC data.

Quick start

1. Click Try for free. Defaults are a cheap sample (last 7 days, operating companies only, one-line summary on, 10 results ≈ $0.10). No fields are required — just click Start.
2. Optional: filter by state (e.g. CA, NY, TX), industry group, minimum amount raised or Rule 506(b)/506(c). Raise Maximum results when you want a bigger pull.
3. Switch on Add executives & contact name if you want people listed on the filing (free, no extra charge). Summary is already on by default.
4. Click Start, then export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or send rows to Google Sheets, HubSpot, Slack or a webhook.
5. For alerts, turn on Delta mode and add a daily schedule.

Sample input (about $0.10 — same as the Try defaults):

{
  "lastNDays": 7,
  "addSummary": true,
  "maxResults": 10
}

Why this Form D scraper?

• 🎯 Lead-ready rows. Company, city, state, business phone, amount raised and (opt-in) the executive officer to address. A Leads table view puts these side by side.
• 🧹 Operating companies only by default. VC, PE, hedge and real estate funds (about 60% of Form D filings) are dropped unless you want them.
• 📝 One-line summaries. For example: "Estuary Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Menlo Park, CA; Biotechnology) raised $40.7M of a $103.7M equity offering under Rule 506(b); first sale 2026-07-01; 25 investors." These are built from the filing by fixed rules, not an AI model, so they are free and never invent facts.
• 🔔 Delta mode. Scheduled runs return only filings you haven't received yet, so you never pay twice for the same company.
• 💸 You only pay for matches. Filings removed by your filters are free.
• ⚙️ Reliable and polite. Official SEC endpoints, a declared User-Agent, under the SEC's 10 requests/second fair-access limit, with retries.

Each run also saves a RUN_SUMMARY record in its key-value store: days scanned, filings checked, filtered out and returned.

How much does it cost?

Pay per result, with no subscription:

• $0.01 per funding filing returned, which is $10 per 1,000 companies.
• Plus Apify's tiny Actor start fee (about $0.00005 per run). Platform compute is included.
• Filtered-out filings are free.
• The executives and summary options cost nothing extra.

In practice:

Use case	Typical cost
Default sample (maxResults: 10)	about $0.10
Larger pull with maxResults: 100	$1.00
Weekly list of 100 funded companies	$1.00
Daily delta alert whose filters match about 10 new companies a day	about $3 a month (10 × 30 × $0.01)

Apify's free plan includes $5 of monthly usage, enough for about 500 funding filings a month. Set Max results or Apify's maximum cost per run to cap spend; the Actor stops cleanly at the limit.

Integrations

Use the dataset like any Apify dataset:

• Export to CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or HTML.
• Google Sheets, Slack, email, HubSpot, Airtable through Apify integrations, Make, Zapier or n8n.
• Webhooks when a run finishes, for your own CRM pipeline.
• API and clients for JavaScript and Python (see the API tab).
• AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

A common setup is a daily schedule, then delta mode, then a Google Sheet or Slack channel your sales team watches.

Tips

• New rounds only: turn Include amendments off. Amendments (D/A) usually update the amount on an older round.
• Track new funds instead: turn Exclude funds off and filter industry group Pooled Investment Fund.
• Timing: EDGAR publishes its daily index after each business day, with none on weekends or federal holidays. A morning schedule (US Eastern) picks up the previous business day.
• Amounts: totalAmountSold is cumulative and can be 0 before the first sale. totalOfferingAmount is null when the issuer marked the round "Indefinite".

FAQ

What is SEC Form D?

Form D is a notice filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission when a company sells securities under a Regulation D exemption without registering them. It discloses the issuer, industry, round size, amount sold, exemption, and the executives and promoters involved. It does not list investors or valuation.

Is this a Crunchbase alternative?

For fresh US private funding signals, yes. Form D is a primary source that many databases rely on. It won't include investor names, valuations or non-US rounds, and some companies file late or not at all.

Where does the phone number come from?

It's the issuer's business phone exactly as entered on the Form D. Some filers enter a law firm's or administrator's number, so check it before you call.

Is it legal to use SEC EDGAR data?

EDGAR filings are public records the SEC publishes for free access. This Actor reads the SEC's public archive with a declared User-Agent and stays under the SEC fair-access rate limit. Executive names are off by default because they are personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California and other laws worldwide, and marketing outreach is subject to rules such as CAN-SPAM and TCPA. Use names and phone numbers only with a legitimate purpose; if unsure, consult a lawyer. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC.

Why did I get 0 results?

Usually the range covers only a weekend or holiday, or only today (whose index isn't published yet), or the filters are too strict. Widen the date range or loosen the filters, and check RUN_SUMMARY for the counts.

Can I get older filings?

Yes. Set Date from / Date to. Each run covers up to 93 days, so split longer backfills into several runs.
