Startup & Funding Data

WeFunder Company Search API and MCP — Campaigns, Raise Progress, Investors, Valuation

Send filters, or none, and get WeFunder campaigns back as a list: name, tagline, location, raise progress, investor counts, valuation terms, founder and a link. Filter by status (fundraising or funded), instrument (equity, SAFE, revenue share or convertible debt), industries and highlights; sort by trending; and cap results with max_items (up to 250).

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-wefunder-companies-search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"max_items":2}'
Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Deal sourcing

List open campaigns by instrument or industry tag and screen them on raise progress and valuation terms.

Crowdfunding market research

Track which companies are raising, how much they have raised and how many investors joined.

Investor and competitor watch

Find campaigns in a sector and compare founders, locations and funding to date.

Lead lists

Collect company names, links and founders from campaigns in a segment.

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

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

Coverage

WeFunder 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 WeFunder shows publicly. Every response carries the session id you can trace.

What it will not do
  • —Many fields are null in the sample, including valuation terms and status; the company source returns the detailed current round.
  • —Location and date fields are returned as the platform lists them and are not normalised.
  • —Listings and figures come from the platform's own pages; nothing here is investment advice or a rating of any campaign.
FAQ

Questions, answered

status (fundraising or funded), security (equity, safe, revenue_share or debt), industries and highlights as comma-separated values, and sort (trending). All are optional.
