## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability venturepulse-comparable-deal-analysis-c8c5bdf6
```

Example prompt: Can you pull comparable funding deals for a B2B SaaS startup at seed stage in the US — I want to see what similar companies raised, at what valuations, how much dilution they took, and which investors backed them so I can anchor my raise?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a startup founder or advisor needs to anchor a fundraise with market data — specifically to justify valuation, understand typical dilution, or identify which investors are active in their space. Prefer this over general VC intelligence endpoints when the goal is company-level deal comparables rather than broad market trends.

## Known failure modes

- No comparable deals found for a highly niche sector or geography — returns empty or sparse results
- Overly broad query returns too many comparables without useful filtering
- Public data lag means very recent deals may not be reflected
- Ambiguous stage or sector input leads to mismatched comparables
- API returns 402 if payment is not attached or USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Comparable deal analysis — what companies like yours raised, at what valuations, with what dilution and from which investors. For founder and VC agents.

## Output

A set of comparable funding deals drawn from public data, including round sizes, pre/post-money valuations, typical dilution percentages, and investor names for companies matching the queried stage, sector, and geography — providing concrete benchmarks to anchor a fundraise.
