## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability orthogonal-aviato-company-founders-lookup-a11dc2e0
```

Example prompt: Who are the founders of the company with LinkedIn URL linkedin.com/company/stripe? Pull up to 25 results per page using Aviato data.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify the founding team of a specific company and have at least one identifier (Aviato company ID, website, or LinkedIn URL/ID). It is especially useful for investor research, competitive intelligence, founder outreach, and CRM enrichment workflows. The built-in pagination billing model (free subsequent pages using parentRequestId) makes it cost-efficient for companies with many founders. Prefer this over generic people-search endpoints when you specifically want founder-role individuals tied to a known company.

## Known failure modes

- No company found for the given ID, website, or LinkedIn identifiers — returns empty results
- Invalid or missing required identifier — returns a 400-level error
- Pagination with changed filters treated as a new billable request — unexpected charges if parameters change mid-pagination
- Rate limits or quota exceeded — returns a 429 or payment error
- LinkedIn URL format not recognized — lookup fails silently or returns no results

## How this service works

Get founders of the specified company. 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

Returns a paginated list of founder profiles associated with the specified company, including personal and professional data sourced from Aviato. Also returns a billing requestId that can be used as parentRequestId for subsequent pages at no additional cost.
