Someone closes a round. Within fifteen days they have to tell the SEC, on a form called a Form D. That form is public the moment it lands, and it says how much they raised, how many investors were in, and when the first money came through.
Most people find out weeks later, from a press release or a newsletter. You can have it the next morning.
What one of these looks like
A real record from the feed, not a mock-up:
{
"company": { "name": "Antora Energy, Inc." },
"occurred_at": "2026-08-04",
"score": 100,
"data": {
"amount_offered_usd": 550000000,
"amount_sold_usd": 457629785,
"amount_remaining_usd": 92370215,
"investors_count": 24,
"first_sale": "2026-07-20",
"is_fund": false
},
"source": { "url": "https://www.sec.gov/...", "form": "D" }
}
$457 million sold of a $550 million raise, 24 investors, first money on 20 July, filed on 4 August. Every one of those numbers comes from the filing, and the record links back to it so you can check rather than trust.
Who this is for
Sales and business development. A company that just closed a round has budget it did not have last month. The filing gives you the amount and the date, which is more than most funding announcements do.
Recruiters and staffing. Money in usually means hiring next. The feed carries both: the raise, and whether that company's open roles are actually going up.
Investors and analysts. How many investors were in, how much is still unsold, and whether the filer is a fund or an operating company.
Getting the list
One call, newest last:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ds_live_your_key_here" \
"https://datasignalslab.com/v1/events?event_type=private_raise&limit=50"
Every response carries a cursor. Pass it back as ?since= and you get only what has come in since, so a daily job never sees the same raise twice and never skips one.
To narrow by size, pass min_score - the score ranks on amount raised and how recent the filing is. Or take everything and rank it yourself: the raw amounts are in the record.
What this is not
Not a prediction. It is the filing, parsed and linked. A company that files late appears late, and one that never files never appears.
Not real time. The SEC publishes continuously; we read once a night. The freshest a record can be is this morning's round.
Not enriched. No contact details, no scraped profiles. What you get is what the company told the regulator, plus the link to prove it.
Going further: who is also hiring
The same feed carries hiring shifts for publicly traded companies, drawn from their own career sites. Where a raise and a hiring surge land on the same company inside ten days, that is a stronger case than either alone.

What it costs
Plans start at $29 a month, and a free tier carries one stream so you can see the shape of the data before you pay. The Events API page has the tiers, and the quickstart takes you from a key to a running sync in about ten minutes.
FAQ
How soon after a raise does it appear?
The company has fifteen days from first sale to file. We read the SEC's published set once a night, so you have it the morning after it lands.
Can I get raises from before today?
Yes. Pass `?since=0` and you walk the whole archive within your monthly allowance.
Do you cover rounds that were never filed?
No. If there is no Form D, there is no record. Some rounds are structured so no filing is required, and we do not guess at those.
Is the amount the full round?
It is what the filing says was sold at the time of filing. `amount_remaining_usd` tells you what was still open, which is often the more useful number.
