# US Private Fundraises: SEC Form D Filings (2009-present)

Need each business day's new Form D filings the next morning? Weio sells a daily CSV by email, filterable by state and industry, $29/month, cancel anytime: [weio.ai/services/formd-daily.html](https://weio.ai/services/formd-daily.html?utm_source=huggingface&utm_medium=dataset&utm_campaign=sec-form-d)

Form D is the notice a US company or fund files with the SEC within 15 days of first selling securities in a private
(exempt) offering: startup rounds, private funds, real-estate syndications, oil and gas programs. This dataset turns every
Form D and Form D/A on EDGAR since 2009 into three clean, joinable CSV tables.

Coverage: **2009-01-02 to 2026-10-30**, complete through that day (a few
rows of the following day may already be present). Re-published here every week.

| Table (config) | Rows | One row per |
|---|---|---|
| `offerings` | 784,304 | filing: issuer, CIK, city, state, ZIP, entity type, incorporation, industry group, revenue range, exemptions (506(b), 506(c), 504, 3(c)(1), 3(c)(7) ...), first sale date, securities, minimum investment, offering amount, amount sold and remaining, investor counts, commissions, finders' fees, use of proceeds, link to the filing |
| `related_persons` | 3,003,720 | executive officer, director or promoter named in a filing (name, role, city and state only) |
| `sales_compensation` | 434,701 | broker-dealer or placement agent paid on an offering, with CRD numbers and states solicited |

Join on `accession_number`. Amendments (`form_type` = `D/A`) are separate rows linked by `previous_accession_number`.
Full column definitions: [DATA_DICTIONARY.md](DATA_DICTIONARY.md). File checksums: [manifest.json](manifest.json).

## How it is built

- Source: SEC EDGAR, public-domain US government records. History comes from the SEC's quarterly Form D data sets; filings
  after the newest quarterly set are parsed from each filing's own XML on sec.gov.
- Fetched under the SEC's fair-access policy: declared User-Agent with a contact address, at most 8 requests per second,
  back-off on 429/503.
- Normalised: ISO dates, whole-dollar integer amounts (blank when missing or "Indefinite", with an `*_indefinite` flag),
  `true`/`false` booleans, semicolon-joined lists, deduplicated by accession number, sorted by filing date.
- Privacy: issuer street addresses and phone numbers are removed from this public copy; individuals carry name, role, city
  and state only (no street, ZIP, email or phone).

## Known quirks (kept as filed)

- Amounts and details are as reported by filers; the SEC does not verify them and neither do we.
- In the SEC's quarterly files a related person's middle name can be carried over from the previous person in the same
  filing (about 1 filing in 5 before mid-2026). Rows with `source` = `edgar_primary_doc` are exact.
- `issuer_state_or_country` uses SEC codes: US states, Canadian provinces and country codes such as `E9` (Cayman Islands).
