# Funding rounds

Companies that just raised, and who decides there.

In the API this is the signal type `funding_raised` (Leads that raised funding). You run it with the same route as every signal: a search.

## What it finds

Companies that announced a funding round in the last 30 days (or window_days), in the countries you choose, each with its latest round. Turn them into people with POST /v1/leads. The company raised the money, not the person.

## Rows and price

- One row per company, as the source shows it, with no AI judging it: you decide which rows fit.
- At most 100 rows per search, 25 unless you send `limit`; more with `cursor`. **1 credit** per row.
- A search that delivers nothing is free.

## The signal object

Send it as `signal` in the body of POST /searches. The other fields of the body are on [Start a search](/docs/api-reference/start-search).

- **`type`** `string` · **required** — Always `funding_raised`.
- **`countries`** `string[]` · **required** — Countries of the company that raised (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2; UK is accepted for GB), not of the person. 1 to 20 items. 78 values: the list is in [Get a signal type](/docs/api-reference/get-signal-type) (`GET /signals/funding_raised`).
- **`rounds`** `string[]` — Round types; empty or missing = any round. One of: `pre_seed`, `angel`, `seed`, `series_a`, `series_b`, `series_c`, `series_d`, `series_e`, `series_f`, `series_g`, `series_unknown`.
- **`window_days`** `integer` — How many days back the round may be announced, 1 to 30. Defaults to `30`.

## Limits

- Only the countries listed under parameters.properties.countries are covered.
- The round data refreshes once a day, around 14:15 Europe/Brussels, so rounds announced today may be missing.
- amount and investors are often null: we never guess them.

## Run it

- **Once**: [Start a search](/docs/api-reference/start-search) (`POST /searches`). [Preview a search](/docs/api-reference/preview-search) shows the most it can cost first. The rows are in [List search results](/docs/api-reference/search-results).
- **To follow it**: run the search again, for example every week. There are no watches.
- **From companies to people**: the search returns the companies. [Find people at companies](/docs/api-reference/find-company-leads) (`POST /leads`) turns them into the people you sell to.
- **From your assistant**: `search_signals` runs it ([MCP](/docs/api-reference/mcp)), on the mySDR connection the assistant signed in to, or on the Signals MCP server with a key.

## Example

A search, `POST /searches`:

```json
{
  "signal": {
    "type": "funding_raised",
    "countries": [
      "BE",
      "NL"
    ],
    "window_days": 30
  },
  "limit": 25
}
```
