## How to call it through Zero

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up the companies a specific person has founded, especially for due diligence, entrepreneur profiling, investor research, or building founder intelligence graphs. Prefer this over a general person search when you already have a person identifier and specifically need their founding history.

## Known failure modes

- Person ID not found — returns empty result or 404
- Invalid or malformed person identifier — returns error response
- Person exists but has no founded companies — returns empty list
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 error
- Authentication failure — returns 401 or 403 error

## How this service works

Get companies that a person has founded. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

A list of companies that the specified person has founded, including company details such as names, identifiers, and related metadata from the Aviato platform.
