## 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 vaaya-company-funders-lookup-c5e42d35 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find out who funded Acme Corp (acmecorp.com)? I want to know which investors or VCs backed them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly enrich a company record with investor and funder data without managing API keys or integrations. It is ideal for go-to-market workflows, sales prospecting, or competitive research where knowing who backed a company helps identify warm intro paths or signals company trajectory. Prefer this over manual Crunchbase or LinkedIn lookups when automating enrichment at scale inside an agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown company or domain returns empty or null funder list
- Misspelled company name may return no results or incorrect match
- Private or stealth-stage companies may have no publicly available funding data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) may block the request
- Company domain mismatch if name and domain refer to different entities

## How this service works

Give an AI agent a credit account. Set a limit and a spending policy, and the agent makes approved, metered purchases from providers that accept Vaaya.

## Output

Returns a structured list of investors and funders associated with the given company, likely including investor names, fund names, and possibly funding round details, enabling downstream enrichment, outreach targeting, or research workflows.
