What does company_funding return, and when should you call it?
Return a company's financing record: rounds with dates and amounts, investors, acquisitions, and key people.
Capital is the strongest public signal that someone competent believes a market is real, and round timing tells you how much runway a competitor is operating on. Private-company coverage is good but never complete; absence of a round is not evidence of no funding.
Returns: name, funding_rounds with date, amount, and type, investors, acquisitions, founded date, employee count, categories.
This is the SLOWEST tool in the catalogue: it reads the whole record on demand and a single company was measured at over five minutes. Budget for that, call it once, and run other questions while it works rather than waiting on it first.
Use to judge whether a competitor can outspend you. Don't use for headcount, which wuthering_company_profile reports more reliably.
What parameters does company_funding take?
company_funding accepts 3 parameters, none of them required. Array values are comma-separated on the query string.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | no | Crunchbase organization profile URL, if you have it. Exact, and skips the lookup step. Find it with your OWN web search first: `site:crunchbase.com/organization "Acme"` returns it directly. wuthering_web_search is the fallback if you have no search of your own, and is billed. Never construct a URL — a wrong one returns a dead page, not an error. |
| company | string | no | Company name, used when you have no URL. Resolved here with a billed search that takes the first plausible match, so prefer finding the URL yourself and passing it. |
| domain | string | no | The company's website domain, for example 'acme.com'. Strongly recommended alongside a name: it disambiguates common names and prevents matching the wrong company. |
