About Iowa

Iowa's Form D filings cluster in Des Moines (financial services and insurance — Principal Financial, Nationwide), Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City (University of Iowa). Des Moines's insurance and financial-services concentration drives fintech-adjacent filings. The state's agricultural base (corn, soybeans, pork, ethanol) produces agtech and food-processing filings. Round sizes are typically modest ($1M–$15M) reflecting the state's smaller venture ecosystem. Delaware incorporation dominates; Iowa LLCs appear for real-estate and agricultural vehicles.

In 2026, Iowa accounts for 14 catalogued filings totaling $71.3M, running at roughly 3.0 filings per week over the last 30 days.

About private capital in Iowa

Iowa has moderate corporate tax rates and a business environment shaped by the state's agricultural economy, insurance-industry concentration, and manufacturing base. Des Moines is a distinctive insurance-industry metro, with multiple large insurers headquartered locally; this drives fintech and insurance-tech filings. The state's agricultural research infrastructure (Iowa State University, USDA partnerships) produces occasional agtech and food-processing filings. Real-estate vehicles target Iowa agricultural and industrial assets. Operating companies incorporate in Delaware as standard.

Iowa funding trends

Recent Iowa Form D filings show several patterns. First, Des Moines insurance-tech and fintech companies file steadily, reflecting the industry concentration. Second, agtech and food-processing filings reflect the state's ag base. Third, real-estate vehicles targeting Iowa agricultural land and industrial assets appear occasionally. Fourth, SaaS and consumer-platform filings from Des Moines, Iowa City, and Cedar Rapids produce modest rounds. Iowa's filing volume is low-to-moderate, typical for a smaller Midwestern state.
