🏦 VC & Private Equity Firm Directory — SEC Form ADV Data

A clean, source-traced directory of venture capital firms and private-markets investment managers, built from the SEC's official Form ADV filings. Each record gives you the firm's name, main-office location and business phone, website, fund counts by type, private-fund assets and latest filing date. Every field says where it came from.

Pricing (pay per event): $0.005 per investor record, which is $5 per 1,000.

• No charge for duplicates, invalid rows or searches that match nothing.
• A $0.02 firm-email event exists, but firm emails are not available at launch (see below). It is charged only if an email is actually delivered.

What you get

About 6,400 investment advisers that manage VC or PE-type private funds and file with the US SEC (October 2026 filings).

• About 4,400 are in North America, 620 in Europe, 340 in Asia-Pacific, 235 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 120 in the Middle East and Africa.
• About 730 are registered at a private residence, so the SEC withholds their address.
• Data comes straight from the SEC on every run. The Actor downloads the SEC's current monthly adviser files each time it runs, so there's no stale copy.
• The labels are honest, and every record lists the SEC facts behind its label:

primaryInvestorType	Records	Meaning	Checked on unseen, reviewed samples
venture-capital	≈ 2,960	Venture funds are the adviser's main fund type, or it uses the SEC's venture-capital-adviser exemption	26 of 26 were VC firms
private-equity	≈ 250	PE-indicated: PE-type funds plus a private-equity name (equity, buyout, growth…). Not universally confirmed	28 of 32 were classic PE; the rest were other private-markets managers
private-markets	≈ 3,220	Manages PE-type closed-end funds, but nothing confirms classic PE: may be buyout, growth, credit, infrastructure or real assets	22 of 23 were private-markets investors; about 6 in 10 classic PE

Some advisers are excluded:

• wealth managers;
• long-only asset managers;
• fund administrators and SPV platforms;
• broker-dealers;
• about 160 filings that report identical, templated asset figures with no website.

Credit, real-estate, hedge, infrastructure, fund-of-funds and SPV-platform managers are available as opt-in adjacent types.

Fields

Field	Source	Filled (6,430 core records)

lastVerifiedAt (the firm's own latest filing date), scrapedAt, sourceUrl, fieldSources, iapdUrl	Provenance	100%

reviewFlags marks facts that didn't change the label but that you may want to know. The possible values are:

• adviser-is-registered-broker-dealer
• spv-or-series-vehicle
• angel-network-or-syndicate
• family-office
• reported-assets-identical-to-unrelated-filers
• manually-reviewed

Always null in this version, because no approved source supplies them reliably:

• sectors, stages, investment geographies and cheque sizes;
• portfolio companies, investment counts and exits;
• named contacts, descriptions and founding year.

About emails: not available at launch

The Actor includes an optional firm-email lookup (enrichContacts). It returns an organisation-level address (info@, deals@, ir@…) only from websites whose reuse permission has been established and recorded by a human reviewer: explicit permission in the site's terms, written permission from the firm, or counsel approval. No websites are approved at launch, so this option currently returns no emails and contacts no websites. Each record explains why in contactEnrichment.sitePermission.

We never guess addresses, decode hidden addresses or return personal emails. Business phone numbers and websites come from the SEC filings and are always included where filed.

Freshness

• Source: the SEC's "Information About Registered Investment Advisers and Exempt Reporting Advisers" files, published monthly and downloaded live on every run.
• lastVerifiedAt is each firm's own latest Form ADV filing; 96% of records filed in 2026.
• Each month the SEC data typically adds about 70–100 new VC/PE advisers and records about 190–290 re-filings with updated assets or contact details. Use filedOnOrAfter and previousRunIds to pay only for what's new.

Limitations

• This is a regulatory directory, not a full investor database. It has no named partners, sectors or stages, and no emails at launch. It does not cover PitchBook-style data.
• Not covered: family offices (generally exempt from SEC registration), individual angels, and firms that don't file with the SEC.
• Labels follow what firms file.
  • private-equity is PE-indicated, not confirmed.
  • private-markets is broader than PE.
  • Some firms file funds under a type that differs from how they describe themselves. For example, an energy PE firm may file its funds as venture capital.
• Websites are reported as filed. About 1,900 advisers list only a social-media link, and some list an affiliate's site.
• If the SEC files can't be read, the run fails clearly instead of returning an empty "successful" result. Nothing is charged.

Use with the API and integrations

Run it from the Apify API, the Python or JavaScript client, or Make, Zapier or n8n. The RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store reports:

• matches and deliveries;
• why the run stopped;
• skipped counts, with reasons;
• the SEC files used and the events charged.

FAQ

Is this PitchBook or Crunchbase data? No. It is built only from official SEC filings. It is not affiliated with or comparable to commercial investor databases.

Are the phone numbers personal? No. They are each firm's main-office business phone as filed with the SEC. Numbers for advisers registered at a private residence are withheld.

Do I pay again for firms I already have? Not if you pass previousRunIds or excludeDomains.

Can I contact these firms? They are business contacts, but your outreach must comply with the laws that apply to you: CAN-SPAM, GDPR/UK GDPR, PECR and others.
