Product / Signals & feeds
Funding, new executives, layoffs and tenders, the day they’re filed.
SpecStream reads the filings where these first appear, from SEC Form Ds and 8-Ks to state WARN notices, tender portals and the Federal Register. On your schedule, the new ones go to a sheet, your CRM, a webhook or your agent, each value linked to its filing.
A $40 million round often shows up as a Form D on EDGAR before anyone writes about it, on a government site that hasn’t changed its layout since 2004.
Signals worth watching
Watch it opens each one as a request in the workspace, where you can change Maryland to Ohio or $5 million to $20 million before the first run. The copy button gives it to your agent, with a note to show you the price first.

Any request becomes a feed
Anything you can ask for runs on a schedule too, from roofers in Columbus with new reviews to clinical trials that just started recruiting.
- Ask onceSay it in plain words, through the API or from your agent. The price shows before the first run, and a run that finds nothing is free.
- Keep it currentSave it as a monitor that runs hourly to yearly, with a spending limit per run and per period.
- Hear what changedEach run is compared with the last. New and changed rows arrive labeled, and so does a row that stopped matching.
Where it lands
Your code and your agent get the REST API, the MCP server at api.specstream.ai/mcp and signed webhooks. Files come as CSV, Excel, JSON or GeoJSON.
The free funding feed
Every Saturday we publish the week’s US Form D filings for $5 million or more: the company, the amount sold, the industry it reported, its address, the filing date and the filing on sec.gov. We drop funds, insurers, banks and real-estate vehicles, so what’s left is companies raising money to grow.
It’s free under CC BY 4.0. The RSS works in any feed reader and the JSON drops into a pipeline. The whole history is on Kaggle. Want only your states and industries, plus the people named in each filing, in your CRM? Run it as your own.
Be first to the filing
Pick a signal and see the price. The first rows arrive in minutes, and after that, only the new ones.
