Introducing FilingFlow: Form D Intelligence for Dealmakers

Every private placement in the United States generates a Form D filing with the SEC. These filings contain structured data about who is raising money, how much, from how many investors, and under which exemption – days after a round closes. That makes Form D the earliest public signal of private market activity.

The problem is that this data sits in EDGAR, an interface designed in the 1990s. There’s no way to filter by industry, set alerts, or analyze patterns across filings. So most investors either check manually, wait for press coverage weeks later, or pay six figures for a data terminal.

FilingFlow changes that.

What FilingFlow Is

FilingFlow is a real-time Form D intelligence platform. It ingests every Form D filing as soon as it hits EDGAR, enriches it with computed analytics, and makes the data searchable, filterable, and programmable.

Instead of browsing EDGAR once a week and hoping you didn’t miss something, you get structured data with alerts, scoring models, and network analysis – built specifically for the people who use Form D data to make decisions.

Core Platform

Real-Time Filing Tracker

New Form D filings appear in FilingFlow within hours of EDGAR publication. You can browse the full filing stream or narrow it by industry, state, offering size, exemption type, date range, or any combination of filters.

This replaces the daily ritual of checking EDGAR’s full-text search and scrolling through results with no structure.

Risk Signal Analysis

Every filing is automatically scored against 10 risk flags across three severity tiers: high, medium, and low. Flags like “high commission ratio,” “yet to be formed,” and “unregistered pooled fund” are drawn from patterns that appeared in major SEC enforcement actions.

A filing with zero flags isn’t guaranteed safe. A filing with five flags isn’t guaranteed fraud. But the flag count tells you exactly where to spend your due diligence time.

We wrote a detailed breakdown of all 10 risk signals if you want the full methodology.

Advanced Search and Filters

EDGAR’s search is full-text and unstructured. FilingFlow lets you filter by the fields that actually matter: industry group, state of incorporation, states of solicitation, exemption rule, offering amount range, date range, and risk flag count.

Save your filter combinations as watchlists. Come back to a curated view instead of starting from scratch every time.

Alerts and Webhooks

Set up email alerts or webhook notifications for any watchlist. When a new filing matches your criteria, you know about it immediately – not the next time you remember to check.

Webhooks push filing data to Slack, your CRM, or any system that accepts HTTP POST requests.

API Access

Every data point in FilingFlow is available through a REST API. Fetch filings, filter by any field, retrieve risk signals, pull person and company records, and paginate through results programmatically.

Pro includes 5,000 API calls per month. Team includes 25,000. If you’re building a pipeline, the API is designed for it.

Intelligence

The Intelligence suite is where FilingFlow goes beyond raw filing data. These four tools apply analytical models on top of Form D filings to surface signals that would take hours of manual work to find.

Deal Flow

The Deal Flow screener scores every filing on a 0-100 stealth scale, designed to surface early-stage opportunities before they get press coverage. The score weighs four factors: how recently the filing was made, how young the entity is, how small the offering is, and which exemption it uses.

A high stealth score means the company is new, raising a modest amount, under Reg D 506(b), and filed recently – the profile of a pre-seed or seed round that hasn’t hit TechCrunch yet.

Filter by exemption rule, amount range, entity age, industry, and state. Sort by stealth score, filing date, or offering amount. The KPI strip at the top gives you a market-level view: total matches, aggregate capital, average offering size, and percentage of new entities.

Founder Watch

Founder Watch identifies serial founders – people who appear as related persons across multiple Form D filings for different issuers. It ranks them by the number of unique companies they’ve been involved with and shows their complete filing timeline.

Click into any founder and you see every company they’ve been associated with, their role in each (executive officer, director, promoter), the filing dates, and the offering amounts. This is how you spot repeat operators raising their next fund or launching a new venture – often before any public announcement.

You can add founders to a watchlist and get alerts whenever they show up on a new filing.

Syndicate Map

Syndicate Map analyzes co-investment patterns and compensation flows across Form D filings. It shows you which investors and intermediaries appear together most frequently, how much in sales commissions and finder’s fees each person has collected, and how many deals they’ve brokered.

The co-investment matrix reveals relationship pairs: two people who keep showing up on the same filings, indicating a working syndicate or investment partnership. You can create named investor groups to track specific syndicates over time.

This is network intelligence that’s impossible to build manually – it requires cross-referencing thousands of filings to find the patterns.

Runway Tracker

Runway Tracker predicts follow-on funding by analyzing how a company’s Form D filings evolve over time. It computes sell-through rate (amount sold vs. total offering), amendment velocity, offering size changes between filings, and investor growth rate.

Each company gets a color-coded signal:

• Follow-on Likely – sell-through above 80% and a recent filing, meaning the company burned through most of its current raise and is likely coming back to market.
• Healthy – moderate sell-through with reasonable recency.
• Stalling – no recent filings despite an open offering.
• Distressed – very low sell-through, suggesting the raise isn’t gaining traction.

Drill into any company to see the full trajectory: a timeline of filings with offering size and amount sold plotted over time, amendment diffs, and changes in related persons.

Who FilingFlow Is For

Venture capital and private equity. You run a thesis-driven fund and want to see relevant deals the week they file, not the month they announce. Deal Flow’s stealth scoring and Founder Watch’s serial founder tracking are designed for this workflow.

Research and compliance teams. You need to monitor filing patterns for due diligence, competitor intelligence, or regulatory research. Risk signal scoring and advanced filters let you screen thousands of filings down to the handful that need human review.

Sales and business development. Newly funded companies need services – legal, banking, recruiting, SaaS tools. Real-time alerts tell you who just raised money, how much, and in which industry, so you can reach out while the need is fresh.

Pricing

FilingFlow has three tiers:

• Free – real-time filings and full filing history, 2 saved searches, weekly digest alerts. Enough to see what Form D data looks like and whether it fits your workflow.
• Pro ($99/month) – 15 saved searches, email + webhook + digest alerts, full analytics suite, Deal Flow, Founder Watch, Syndicate Map, Runway Tracker, 5,000 API calls/month, 2 seats.
• Team ($249/month) – everything in Pro, 50 saved searches, full alert suite + Slack, 25,000 API calls/month, 5 seats (+$35/seat), priority support.

Annual billing saves ~15%. Full comparison at filingflow.app/pricing.

What’s Ahead

We’re building in the open. Here’s what’s on the roadmap:

• Company enrichment – automatic matching of Form D issuers to external data sources for richer context.
• Historical analytics – market-level trend reports on filing volume, offering sizes, and industry mix over time.
• Team workflows – shared watchlists, annotations, and assignment for collaborative deal review.

We’ll write about each of these as they ship.
