Example prompt: Find me investors on VenturePulse whose thesis aligns with my pre-seed B2B SaaS startup in the HR tech space — I'm looking for check sizes around $250K–$500K and any tips on how to approach them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a founder agent needs to identify and prioritize specific investors whose thesis, stage focus, and sector interests align with a given startup — especially when check size guidance and outreach tips are needed. Prefer over generic investor databases when you want curated, thesis-matched results rather than broad directory searches.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported funding stage returns no results
- Missing required startup parameters returns a 400 error
