Funding
Detect a company's most recent funding round and public/IPO status from just a domain, with investors and cited source URLs.
What it answers
The Funding signal summarises a company's most recent funding and its public status. It reports the latest primary equity round — never a secondary sale, tender offer, or debt event — and flags whether the company has gone public. A completed IPO, direct listing, or SPAC merger sets isPublic to true and latestRound to IPO, overriding earlier private rounds.
Answers favour reliability over completeness: the AI confirms that sources belong to the company at the domain you passed (not a similarly-named company) and returns the one to three most recent events rather than a full history.

Evidence
Every reported event is corroborated against public sources (company newsroom or IR pages, regulatory filings, major business press), and the URLs are returned in sourceUrls and in the signal's top-level sources. The signal does not fetch paywalled database pages, and an amount is omitted rather than guessed when it isn't disclosed.
