get_private_placements
Returns SEC Form D filings — Reg D / Rule 506 private placement offering notices. Use this when the user asks about: who's raising private capital right now, new VC fund formations, private equity raises, real-estate syndicates, hedge fund launches, who's claiming Rule 506(b) vs 506(c) exemption, or to identify directors / executive officers of newly-formed entities. ⚠ total_amount_sold, min_investment_accepted, total_number_already_invested, sales_commissions and finder_fees are NULLABLE — a Form D that did not state a figure reports null rather than 0. The distinction matters here more than anywhere: a Form D filed at the START of an offering legitimately reports $0 sold, so 0 and null mean genuinely different things. Rows stored before 2026-08-17 cannot tell you which they were. Null never satisfies min_amount_sold and sorts last. Source: SEC EDGAR full-text search + per-filing primary_doc.xml. All Reg D filings (504 / 506(b) / 506(c)) plus Section 4(a) exempt offerings flow through here. Form D must be filed within 15 days of the first sale. Each record carries: issuer entity (name, CIK, address, jurisdiction of incorporation, entity type), offering data (industry group, investment fund type for pooled funds, total offering / sold / remaining, minimum investment, federal_exemptions claimed), filing metadata (file_date, date_of_first_sale, is_amendment), and a related_persons[] array of directors / executive officers / promoters. Federal exemption codes (federal_exemptions array): 06b — Rule 506(b) (no general solicitation; up to 35 non-accredited) 06c — Rule 506(c) (general solicitation OK; all accredited) 04(2) — Section 4(a)(2) (statutory private placement) 3C — ICA Section 3(c) (3(c)(1), 3(c)(5), 3(c)(7) etc. — common for funds) 3C.1 — ICA 3(c)(1) (up to 100 investors) 3C.7 — ICA 3(c)(7) (qualified purchasers only) Common industry_group_type values: 'Pooled Investment Fund' (with investment_fund_type='Venture Capital Fund' | 'Private Equity Fund' | 'Hedge Fund' | 'Other Investment Fund') 'Technology', 'Real Estate', 'Health Care', 'Energy', 'Financial Services', 'Manufacturing', 'Other'. Direct filing_id lookup is fastest (accession number). Substring filters on issuer_name, industry_group_type, investment_fund_type, and jurisdiction_of_inc enable topic-style queries. Combine federal_exemption + min_amount_sold for 'who's raising real money under 506(c)' analyses.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Maximum filings to return. Default 50, max 500. | |
| since | No | date_of_first_sale lower bound (YYYY-MM-DD inclusive). | |
| until | No | date_of_first_sale upper bound (YYYY-MM-DD inclusive). | |
| sort_by | No | Default: file_date (most recently filed first). | |
| filing_id | No | EDGAR accession number (e.g., '0002131143-26-000001'). Direct doc lookup, fastest. | |
| issuer_cik | No | Issuer's SEC CIK (1-10 digits; we zero-pad internally). | |
| sort_order | No | Default: desc. | |
| issuer_name | No | Case-insensitive substring against the issuer's filed entity name. NOTE: matched over a recent-filing window, so it reliably finds CURRENT filers but can miss an issuer whose Form D filings are older than that window. To pull a specific issuer's full filing history regardless of date, use issuer_cik (most reliable). | |
| is_amendment | No | When set, restricts to D/A amendments (true) or original D filings (false). Default: both. | |
| issuer_state | No | Issuer's state (2-letter code, e.g., 'CA', 'NY', 'DE'). Note many funds incorporate in DE while operating elsewhere. | |
| min_amount_sold | No | Minimum total_amount_sold (USD). Filters out trivial offerings — use 1000000 for 'real raises'. | |
| federal_exemption | No | Filter to filings claiming a specific exemption code via array-contains. Common: '06b' (506(b)), '06c' (506(c)), '3C.1', '3C.7'. | |
| industry_group_type | No | Substring against the top-level industry classification (e.g., 'technology', 'real estate', 'pooled investment'). | |
| jurisdiction_of_inc | No | Substring against state of incorporation (e.g., 'delaware', 'cayman'). | |
| investment_fund_type | No | Substring against the fund subtype, populated when industry_group_type is 'Pooled Investment Fund' (e.g., 'venture capital', 'private equity', 'hedge'). |
