What can you derive from it?
1. Fresh capital: a new filing with TOTALAMOUNTSOLD above a threshold marks a company that just raised. 2. Round in progress: TOTALREMAINING above zero means the offering is still open. 3. Size band: REVENUERANGE (when disclosed) gives a rare size indicator for private firms. 4. Named leadership: related persons give executives and directors by name. 5. Industry and fund type: INDUSTRYGROUPTYPE separates operating companies from pooled funds.
How would a GTM team use it?
1. Revenue trigger: start outreach to operating companies within two weeks of a Form D in the portco's industry groups. 2. PE screen: find sub-scale raises in a niche as add-on candidates before they appear in paid databases. 3. Buyer map: use related persons and signers to reach the executive who controls the new budget. 4. Market map: chart raise counts and amounts by industry group and state per quarter.
What are the caveats?
Not a native Clay integration as of 2026-10-17 (checked against Clay's integrations catalog). Can be called through Clay's HTTP API column where an API exists. External observation: a filing shows a raise, not what the money is for. Many issuers decline to disclose revenue range. Amounts can be amended later (D/A). Filing is required within 15 days of first sale, so timing lags the close. Funds and SPVs make up a large share of filings and must be filtered out.
