Startup funding on October 5, 2026
22 companies raised: 14 filing for the first time, 8 again · 25 with a profile. Together they reported $71.4 million in new offerings in Form D filings the SEC accepted on Monday, October 5, 2026. The largest was Virtual Incision Corp, with $35.1M from 60 investors.
25 companies filed on Oct 5: 22 reported new money, which makes up the day's total; 3 only amended earlier filings. We also leave out 15 companies: three listed on a stock exchange, five based outside the US, one reporting a merger or spin-off rather than a raise and six that are not startups by our rules (banks, insurance accounts, clinics, funds' vehicles, old offerings). All Form D filings counts everything the SEC accepted that day, including investment funds and real estate offerings, which we leave out when counting.

- Location is the address under “Principal Place of Business and Contact Information” on the filing, not the “Jurisdiction of Incorporation/Organization”. Most startups incorporate in Delaware but work somewhere else.
- First sale is the day the first investor committed, which can be months before the filing date. Not yet means the company filed before that day came, so the amount sold is $0 for now; it shows up when the company amends the filing.
- $0 next to a first-sale date means an investor had committed but no money had come in when the company filed.
- New is a company's first filing for an offering. Amended updates an earlier filing, usually because more money came in, and shows the new total; that money was already counted when it was first reported.
- One company filed more than once that day, usually amendments to separate offerings. Each company is listed once; open “more filings” to see the others.
