Thanks for the feedback. I have another set of visualizations coming soon I think will address your suggestion regarding comparables over time. Your suggestion is spot on.
As to stealthmodewatch.com, I thought the creator (you?) did a great job of getting launch coverage in TechCrunch. A very, very good job. I got a link in TechCrunch the second day my site went up (for breaking the Dave McClure 500 startups launch) but stealthmodewatch.com got a whole article. Well played!
Yes, the 'recent' and 'by industry' listings are nice. The data set seems small enough, though -- by either day or even last few months -- that it'd be nice to have a longer page, with more details, and 'instant' filtering by amounts, regions, industries, terms, etc. Something like Google Finance stock screener on the last year of Reg-D filings would be awesome:
That stockscreener idea is genius. I was planning a more basic version but your suggestion is even better since people are already used to that format. I'll start building this this weekend - Do you mind if I email you a beta version for feedback before I put it live next week?

Edit:
I thought about your suggestion more. Does the most recent listing of filings help? http://www.formds.com/filings
Regarding drill down, is 'by industry' informative?

(Fitbit funding at top of that list)
I'm not affiliated with StealthModeWatch -- I found out about it on HN, and was surprised the submitted stories didn't get many HN votes:

Don't mind at all! Eager to see what you cook up.
Thank you. Your idea provides a great way of addressing joshu's feedback. I'll email at the address in your profile when I have things working.
