Venture Capital Form D FAQ

How do I find new venture capital funds?

New VC funds can be discovered through SEC Form D filings. When a fund raises its first close, it must file Form D within 15 days. By filtering for "Pooled Investment Fund" offerings with fund sizes typical of VC ($25M-$500M), you can identify new fund launches before they appear in databases like PitchBook or Crunchbase.

Can I see what startups a VC has invested in through Form D?

Not directly from the VC fund's Form D, which only shows the fund's own capital raise. However, when a VC invests in a startup, that startup files its own Form D. By tracking patterns across startup Form D filings and cross-referencing with known VC portfolios, you can often identify investment activity.

What's the difference between a micro-VC and traditional VC?

Micro-VCs typically show fund sizes of $10M-$50M in their Form D filings, lower minimum LP commitments ($50K-$250K), and often have just 1-2 general partners listed. Traditional VCs show larger fund sizes ($100M-$1B+), higher minimums ($1M+), and multiple GP names.

When do venture capital funds file Form D?

VC funds must file Form D within 15 days of their first sale of securities, typically the first LP commitment or first close. This makes Form D filings one of the earliest public indicators of new fund launches—often 30-90 days before press announcements or database listings.

Which states have the most VC fund activity?

California leads VC fund activity (Silicon Valley and San Francisco), followed by New York, Massachusetts (Boston's biotech hub), Texas (Austin), and Washington (Seattle). Use the geographic distribution chart above to see current fund counts by state.

How do I find emerging VC fund managers?

Emerging managers (first-time fund managers) can be identified by looking for smaller fund sizes ($10M-$50M), lower minimum LP commitments ($50K-$250K), and fewer general partners listed. Use the search and size filters to find funds matching these criteria.
