  • Classification. Investor types (e.g. venture_capital, angel_group), investment stage, and industry / tech-vertical targeting.
  • Fund details. Named funds with announce date and amount raised (fund_details).
  • Portfolio. Backed companies as Specter company IDs (portfolio_companies).
  • Activity. number_of_investments, number_of_lead_investments, number_of_exits, number_of_funds.
  • Signals. Investor-interest signals, from Get investor-interest signals.
  • Linkages. person_id (when the investor is an individual, e.g. an angel) and company_id (the firm’s company record); either, both, or neither may be null.

Notes

  • Lookups may return more than one investor when several share a domain.
  • Bulk lookups return matched results only; unknown identifiers are omitted.
  • Get investor-interest signals paginates at 50 per page and is charged per signal returned; an investor with no active interest signals returns 200 with an empty array, an unknown one 404.
  • Funding rounds are paginated, newest first. Use returned IDs to traverse across companies, people, and deals.
