Raise Scoreboard

How the Raise Scoreboard works

Every week, US companies and funds file a Form D with the SEC within 15 days of first selling securities in a private (exempt) offering. This site ranks those filings like a sports league: who raised the most, which sectors and states are winning, and who is new.

What counts as a new raise

Raises are ranked by the amount sold as reported. Weeks run Monday to Sunday by filing date; a week is final once Friday's filings are in. Seasons are calendar years.

Leagues

Form D asks each filer to pick an industry group. Leagues group them: Tech (Other Technology, Computers, Telecommunications), Bio & Health (Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, Other Health Care, Hospitals and Physicians, Health Insurance), Energy, Real Estate, Finance, Main Street (retail, restaurants, manufacturing, business services, travel, agriculture), the Open League (filers who chose "Other", which includes many technology startups) and the Fund League (pooled investment funds: venture capital, private equity, hedge and other funds). States are the company's principal place of business; non-US filers are grouped as International. A rookie is a company filing its first Form D ever.

Data and how it is checked

Downloads: this week's raises (JSON) · source and cross-check report. Each box score links to the original filing on sec.gov.

What Form D does not tell you

Form D is a notice of an exempt securities offering filed with the SEC. It is not an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy securities, and this site is not investment advice. Amounts are as reported by issuers and may include debt, convertible notes, options or securities issued in an acquisition.

Privacy, corrections and embeds

No personal data is published: Form D lists executives and directors, and this site leaves them out. There are no cookies; page views are counted without cookies only if the operator enables it, and never when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.
