Does it include funding rounds?

Only the count and latest deal type. The rounds table itself is paywalled.

How do I find the id?

Use PitchBook profile search with a company name.

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?

5 points per successful run, which is $5 per 1,000, and only runs that return data are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance.

PitchBook Company Profile API and MCP — public preview with status and industries

Send a PitchBook profile id such as 439834-78, or the profile link. You get the public preview of that company: description, website, founding year, status, address, social links, employees, financing rounds, industries, any former names and the parent company.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: a PitchBook profile id or URL
You get back: The public profile preview of a company: description, website, founded year, status, employees, industries, parent company, address, social links and FAQs.
Coverage: PitchBook records with a public page.
Price: 5 pts — $5 per 1,000; Charged only when the record resolves. A request that finds nothing is not billed.

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
PitchBook directly	Open the page on PitchBook and read it	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 PitchBook 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	$5 per 1,000, misses not billed	Returns what PitchBook 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.

One record per request. Results come back in the same envelope as every other source: a session id, a readable summary, the structured result and the points charged.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-pitchbook-companies \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company":"439834-78"}'

Use cases

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.

Coverage

PitchBook records with a public page.

Freshness

Read at request time, so the answer reflects the platform as it stands when you ask.

Handling

This source returns information PitchBook shows publicly. Every response carries the session id you can trace.

What it will not do

—This is the free public preview. Sections such as valuation and funding are paywalled and come back with empty tables, as in the sample.
—Fields depend on the company; several come back empty or null.
—Preview data is not a substitute for a full PitchBook subscription.
