Which investor types can I filter by?

Venture Capital, Pension institution, Corporate, Angel, Private Equity, Government, Fund Of Funds, Family Office, Accelerator, Sovereign Wealth Fund, Advisor, University and a few others listed in the docs.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

What does a request cost?

1 point per returned record, which is $1 per 1,000, and only records that come back are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance.

Dealroom Investor Search API and MCP — Investors by Name, Type and Country

Search the Dealroom investor index by name keyword, investor type and country. Each match comes back with its name, type, country, headquarters, portfolio company count, Dealroom rank and link. With no filters you get the top of the index, ordered by rank.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: an optional name keyword, investor type and country filter, plus how many investors you want
You get back: name, type, country, HQ, portfolio companies, rank and Dealroom link for each investor, ordered by Dealroom rank
Coverage: Dealroom records with a public page.
Price: 1 point per returned record — $1 per 1,000; Billed per record actually returned, capped by max_items. A request that returns nothing costs nothing.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Dealroom directly	Type the query into Dealroom and read the results	Free, and slow	Fine for one record, useless across a list, and the layout differs on every platform
Building a scraper	Write it, host it, and repair it when Dealroom changes its pages	Engineering time	A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product
NeuralVerge	One request, the same shape as every other source in the catalog	$1 per 1,000, misses not billed	Returns what Dealroom publishes at request time. Other platforms are separate sources with the same request format

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

Results come back in the same envelope as every other source: a session id, a readable summary, the structured result and the points charged. max_items caps how many records are returned and billed.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-dealroom-investors-search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"max_items":2}'
