In private markets, visibility into new fundraising activity is limited. Most fund launches happen quietly, with little public information available until capital is well underway.
For investment managers, sales teams, and business development professionals, that lack of transparency makes it difficult to track competitive activity, identify new opportunities, and understand how the market is evolving in real time.
Form D filings are one of the few consistent signals that cut through that noise. They provide early insight into when firms are coming to market, what strategies are being launched, and how fundraising activity is shifting across asset classes and geographies.
In January alone, Dakota gathered 900+ Form D filings and added them to Dakota Marketplace, giving users a centralized, searchable view of newly launched private funds. In this article, we highlight 10 Form D filings from January 2026 that stood out based on strategy, scale, and market relevance.
