According to wikipedia, a company called "Automattic raised
approximately 1.1 million dollars in funding". The citation provided
for this is as follows:

http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&filenum=021-82201&owner=include&count=40

My question is.. how do you infer that 1.1 million dollars was
invested in this (or any other company) from the link? The only info
I see is the companies address...

Look at the lower half of the page. According to that link, they raised
funds by selling securities. They traded equity for cash. In other words,
in exchange for cash, they let "people" own a piece of the company.

Oops, I didn't answer your question. That link doesn't really show how much
securities were sold. Look up their financial statements or see if you can
find their 10K filings or a news article.

No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

How might I go about finding their 10K filings? The page I linked to
lets you filter filings by form type, but there aren't any 10K forms
listed - just a single REGDEX form and a single REGDEX/A form.

Can securities be bought without filing a 10K form?

I don't know about that company, but yes, stock can be sold without
filing a 10K form.
