Fresh money. Fresh priorities. Warm attention. Get a real-time feed of newly-funded founders and their LinkedIn URLs — piped straight into your Sales Nav, Heyreach, La Growth Machine, or PhantomBuster.
Subscribe via webhooks. We POST the moment a new round hits our pipeline — HMAC-signed, filter by niche/country/round. Hours ahead of Crunchbase.
Every startup row ships with `linkedinUrl` on the company AND each contact. Drop straight into Sales Nav, Heyreach, Clay, or LGM.
CEO, CTO, Founding Engineer — tagged in `role`. No more scrolling through 12 'Business Development' roles to find the actual decision maker.
Pipe the JSON into Heyreach / LGM / Instantly → they handle the DM sending, you handle the targeting. Webhook → cURL → handoff = one workflow.
`hiringSignal: true` means they're deploying the money now. Open roles = open budget = open to vendors. Filter for it in one param.
Not just fresh — hyper-fresh. `since=yyyy-mm-dd` returns only rounds scraped in your window. Pair with a cron to DM founders while the round is still front-of-mind.

}'A founder who just closed a round is fielding 50+ congratulation messages — most are noise. Cold DMs that arrive in that window get opened because they're contextually relevant: 'Saw your round — built X for what you just described as the hiring gap.' Specificity + timing beats volume.
Yes — every `contact` row has `linkedinUrl`, `name`, `title`, `role`, and (when public) `email`. Founders are tagged with `role: 'ceo' | 'founder' | 'cto' | 'cofounder'`.
We don't scrape LinkedIn. Founder profiles are discovered from public press announcements, company About pages, and SEC filings — all sources that explicitly link to LinkedIn in their copy.
No — we're the data layer, not the outreach tool. Pipe our JSON into Heyreach, La Growth Machine, Instantly, PhantomBuster, Clay, Sales Navigator, or a custom workflow. See /recipes/slack for a webhook bridge pattern.
All contact data is from publicly-visible sources. Individuals can request removal via hello@fundedapi.com — we delete within 7 days per our privacy policy. See /privacy.
Our scraper runs hourly across the feed. Webhook dispatch fires within ~30 seconds of a new row being inserted. End-to-end latency from public announcement → your CRM: typically under 2 hours.
Every tool that accepts CSV or HTTP webhook input. Clay specifically: add a 'Webhook' source, paste our URL, map `contacts[].linkedinUrl` to their LinkedIn field. 5-minute setup.
Fresh funding rounds + key hiring signals in your inbox every Monday.
