Company Funding Search Agent Skill

Company Funding Search

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Get funding history, investors, and investment details for companies. Two APIs available:

• Nyne: Look up specific company's funding history
• Fiber: Search companies by funding stage/criteria

When to Use

• User asks "how much funding has [company] raised?" → Nyne
• User wants to know who invested in a company → Nyne
• User wants to find companies by funding stage → Fiber
• User asks "find Series B AI companies" → Fiber
• Targeting companies by funding criteria → Fiber

Option 1: Nyne (Specific Company Lookup)

Best for: Looking up a known company's funding history and investors.

  -d '{"api":"","path":"","body":{"company_name":"Anthropic"}}'

Returns a request_id. Then poll:

Step 2: Poll for results (GET)

When to Use Which

| Use Case | API | Endpoint |

|----------|-----|----------|

| "How much has Anthropic raised?" | Nyne | /company/funding |

| "Who invested in Stripe?" | Nyne | /company/funders |

| "Find Series A AI startups" | Fiber | /v1/natural-language-search/companies |

| "Find top VCs" | Fiber | /v1/investor-search |

| "Companies that raised $10M+ in 2024" | Fiber | /v1/natural-language-search/companies |

Error Handling

• Nyne is async: POST returns request_id, poll with GET — results take 5-20 seconds
• 404 — Company not found; try alternate name or domain
• 429 — Rate limit exceeded; wait and retry
• Fiber returns empty results for very niche queries — broaden search terms
• company_name works better than company_domain for Nyne lookups

Tips

• Nyne is async: Start with POST, poll with GET using request_id (5-20 seconds)
• Fiber is sync: Returns results immediately
• company_name > company_domain for Nyne lookups
• Fiber's natural language search is very flexible - just describe what you want
• Fiber returns rich company data including similar companies
