Built a free API that scores companies who just raised as sales leads — $1.5B+ tracked this week alone
Hey IH — sharing a project update. I built Funding Signals: a lead-intelligence API that turns SEC Form D filings + permitted funding-news signals into scored (0-100), sales-ready leads. The pitch: a company that just raised is actively hiring and buying tooling for a few weeks before every vendor finds them — most sales teams only hear about it from a TechCrunch roundup a month later.
This week alone the feed picked up 5 raises worth $1.5B+ combined (Oxide Computer $445M, DriveNets $410.25M, Mariana Minerals $310.5M, Sila Nanotechnologies $309.6M, Theradaptive $36.1M), all sourced straight from EDGAR.
Free tier, no card required. Would love feedback from anyone doing outbound/sales-tooling: fundingsignals.net?utm_source=indiehackers&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=round13
The timing angle is the interesting part here. I’d be curious whether the “just raised” window actually produces materially better outbound results than the same accounts identified through normal firmographic targeting.
