| HN, Form Ds are filed with the SEC by startups, hedge funds, and growing companies to announce the completion of fundings (equity and debt) but there's no way to search for companies near you. I built a Google maps visualizer that takes the daily SEC filings and overlays them on Google maps. For example of a Form D, here's SeatGeek's (current top story on HN) Form D filings: http://www.formds.com/issuers/seatgeek-inc I'd love feedback on my Google Maps visualization. Things I know I need to add: Ability to zoom in on an area and see filings from the last week or month. Ability to save the areas you're interested in (instead of the whole US loading every time) Tech thing to change: I'm writing out the javascript using Rails' erb instead of a javascript function pulling from a JSON object. I just saw the SeatGeek guys use a JSON object + function for their raphael visualization and realized that that's what I should be doing... Thanks for any feedback! |
