## 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 venturepulse-funding-search-2a31ac7e
```

Example prompt: Pull up recent Series A funding rounds in B2B SaaS from the last 60 days, focused on North America — I want to see deal sizes, active lead investors, and what valuations look like right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need current, deal-level VC funding intelligence filtered by sector, stage, and geography — especially for founders benchmarking their raise or VCs scouting competitive activity. Prefer this over general financial data APIs when you need startup-specific funding rounds with investor-level detail and valuation context.

## Known failure modes

- No matching deals found for the given sector/stage/region combination — returns empty results
- Invalid or unsupported sector/stage/region parameter — returns 400 Bad Request
- Payment not processed or insufficient USDC balance — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting exceeded — returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Data freshness lag for very recent deals not yet indexed — returns partial or stale results

## Output

Returns a list of recent funding rounds matching the query filters, including deal amounts, investor names, startup names, sectors, stages, regions, valuation benchmarks, and an overall funding climate assessment for the queried segment.
