About Delaware

Delaware's Form D filings are anomalous relative to the state's population because Delaware is the dominant US corporate-formation jurisdiction — the majority of venture-backed C-corporations and the majority of fund LLCs in the country incorporate in Delaware regardless of where their operating teams are based. Many Delaware-listed filings have operating addresses elsewhere; others are genuine Delaware operating companies (Wilmington, Newark, Dover, Claymont). SPV and pooled-investment-fund vehicles administered by Delaware-based fund administrators (e.g. Sydecar in Claymont) concentrate filings in specific Delaware addresses. Operating-company round sizes span the full range; SPV filings skew smaller ($500K–$10M).

In 2026, Delaware accounts for 491 catalogued filings totaling $2830.4M, running at roughly 101.9 filings per week over the last 30 days.

About private capital in Delaware

Delaware's corporate-law framework, including the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Court of Chancery, makes Delaware the preferred incorporation state for venture-backed companies nationwide. This preference is institutional: nearly every US VC requires Delaware incorporation as a term-sheet condition. Combined with Delaware's Series LLC structure (useful for segregating asset liabilities in fund vehicles), this makes Delaware the single-largest formation state for Form D filers — but most of these filings reflect operating teams based elsewhere. Fund administrators in Claymont and Wilmington (Sydecar, CSC, Corporation Service Company) handle thousands of SPV filings annually. Genuine Delaware-operating companies are a minority of the state's filing count.

Delaware funding trends

Recent Delaware Form D filings show the structural dominance of fund-vehicle activity. First, Sydecar-administered SPVs from Claymont addresses appear constantly — these are co-investment vehicles for accredited investors, typically $500K–$10M. Second, Delaware-incorporated operating companies with non-Delaware operating addresses file regularly; the filing list here includes both. Third, genuine Delaware-operating businesses (Wilmington banking, DuPont-related chemicals, University of Delaware–adjacent tech) file at modest rates. Fourth, real-estate vehicles occasionally target Delaware commercial property. Researchers should distinguish between 'formed in Delaware' and 'operating in Delaware' — this hub includes both, with state matching the Form D filing address.
