## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically discover the investor and funder base of a specific company, especially for due diligence, competitive research, or building investment graphs. Best suited for batch or background workflows where async retrieval is acceptable. Prefer over manual research when you need structured, machine-readable investor data at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found or unrecognized — returns empty or error result
- Async job fails or times out before completion
- Ambiguous company name matching multiple entities
- Rate limiting or payment verification failure at $1.44 USDC per call
- Incomplete funder data for lesser-known companies

## How this service works
