This week alone, four companies filed SEC Form D notices totaling $753M: Emerald AI ($90.2M), Core Automation ($432.1M), ThreatLocker ($189.2M), and Valoros ($31.4M).
Most sales and marketing teams never see these. Form D filings are public, factual, and filed days-to-weeks before a funding round hits TechCrunch or a company's own press release — which means the budget signal is available before your competitors are even looking for it.
Why this matters for outbound:
- A funded company has fresh budget and a mandate to spend it (headcount, tools, vendors).
- Form D data is free and public — no scraping paywalled news sites.
- Timing beats targeting: reaching out in the first two weeks after a raise gets a materially different response than six months later.
