Company Funding Search

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Get funding history, investors, and investment details for companies. Two APIs available:

  • Nyne: Look up specific company's funding history
  • Fiber: Search companies by funding stage/criteria

When to Use

  • User asks "how much funding has [company] raised?" → Nyne
  • User wants to know who invested in a company → Nyne
  • User wants to find companies by funding stage → Fiber
  • User asks "find Series B AI companies" → Fiber
  • Targeting companies by funding criteria → Fiber

Option 1: Nyne (Specific Company Lookup)

Best for: Looking up a known company's funding history and investors.

Get Company Funding History

Step 1: Start the lookup (POST)

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"","path":"","body":{"company_name":"Anthropic"}}'

Returns a request_id. Then poll:

Step 2: Poll for results (GET)

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"nyne","path":"/company/funding","query":{"request_id":"YOUR_REQUEST_ID"}}'
curl equivalent
# Step 1: Start lookup
curl -X POST https://api.orth.sh/v1/run/nyne/company/funding \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company_name":"Anthropic"}'

# Step 2: Poll for results
curl "https://api.orth.sh/v1/run/nyne/company/funding?request_id=YOUR_REQUEST_ID" \

Get Company Investors/Funders

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"","path":"","body":{"company_domain":"stripe.com"}}'
curl equivalent
curl -X POST https://api.orth.sh/v1/run/nyne/company/funders \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company_domain":"stripe.com"}'

Nyne Parameters

  • company_name - Company name (e.g., "Anthropic") - works better
  • company_domain - Company domain (e.g., "anthropic.com")

Option 2: Fiber (Search Companies by Funding)

Best for: Finding companies by funding stage, industry, location, etc.

Natural Language Company Search

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"","path":"","body":{"query":"AI companies that raised Series B in 2024","limit":10}}'
curl equivalent
curl -X POST https://api.orth.sh/v1/run/fiber/v1/natural-language-search/companies \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"AI companies that raised Series B in 2024","limit":10}'

Investor Search

Search for investors/VCs (filter-based, not natural language):

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"","path":"","body":{"searchParams":{},"limit":10}}'
curl equivalent
curl -X POST https://api.orth.sh/v1/run/fiber/v1/investor-search \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchParams":{},"limit":10}'

Returns top investors with:

  • Total investments, lead rate
  • Investment breakdown by stage
  • Recent investments
  • LinkedIn, logo, social links

Fiber Response Includes

  • Company name, domain, LinkedIn
  • Funding rounds with dates and amounts
  • Investors per round (lead vs participating)
  • Employee count, location, industry
  • Total funding, latest funding stage
  • Similar companies

When to Use Which

Use CaseAPIEndpoint
"How much has Anthropic raised?"Nyne/company/funding
"Who invested in Stripe?"Nyne/company/funders
"Find Series A AI startups"Fiber/v1/natural-language-search/companies
"Find top VCs"Fiber/v1/investor-search
"Companies that raised $10M+ in 2024"Fiber/v1/natural-language-search/companies

Error Handling

  • Nyne is async: POST returns request_id, poll with GET — results take 5-20 seconds
  • 404 — Company not found; try alternate name or domain
  • 429 — Rate limit exceeded; wait and retry
  • Fiber returns empty results for very niche queries — broaden search terms
  • company_name works better than company_domain for Nyne lookups

Tips

  • Nyne is async: Start with POST, poll with GET using request_id (5-20 seconds)
  • Fiber is sync: Returns results immediately
  • company_name > company_domain for Nyne lookups
  • Fiber's natural language search is very flexible - just describe what you want
  • Fiber returns rich company data including similar companies
