Five SEC Form D filings this week, worth $1.8B combined
This week five companies quietly filed SEC Form D notices — the public record every company has to file within 15 days of closing a private funding round. None of these have hit TechCrunch yet.
Groq — $672.2M
DriveNets — $410.25M
Antares Nuclear — $320M
Sila Nanotechnologies — $309.6M
General Fusion — $107.7M
That's $1.8B combined, sitting in EDGAR right now, free for anyone to read.
If you sell B2B: a funding round is one of the strongest buying-intent signals that exists, and by the time it's on TechCrunch every vendor in the space has already sent a cold email. The Form D filing is the earlier signal.
I built Funding Signals (https://fundingsignals.net/?utm_source=indiehackers&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=round7) to pull these from EDGAR, score them, and enrich the real ones with contacts. Free tier, no card required.
The timing advantage is clear — Form D gets you to the event before the funding-news cycle catches up.
Have you been able to test yet whether acting on that earlier signal actually produces better outreach outcomes, or is that the main assumption you're validating with the first users?
