Tools (20)

• search_organizations

  Search fintech companies and investors by name, kind or country. Returns public profiles with canonical URLs. Arguments: q (or query): text to search for, matched against the name. With no q the tool returns a plain alphabetical list (first 25 by default). Unknown arguments are rejected.

• get_organization

  Full public profile for one organization by slug: description, country, funding rounds (raised or led), people, any disclosure, our published coverage of it (articles, newsletter issues, podcast episodes), and its products (company-provided, not part of the CC BY dataset).

• search_people

  Search founders, operators and investors covered by the publication. Arguments: q (or query): text to search for, matched against the full name. With no q the tool returns a plain alphabetical list (first 25 by default). Unknown arguments are rejected.

• get_person

  Full public profile for one person by slug: bio, roles and coverage.

• list_funding_rounds

  Approved funding rounds, newest first, with optional filters and keyset pagination. Pass the returned next_cursor fields (after_date, after_id) to get the next page.

• largest_rounds

  Largest disclosed equity rounds, ranked per currency (amounts are never converted between currencies).

• most_active_investors

  Investors ranked by the number of approved rounds they appear in. Category defaults to equity. With a country, only rounds of companies headquartered in that country are counted; the country may be a slug ('italy') or a two-letter ISO code ('IT'), case-insensitive.

• funding_summary

  Counts for a slice of the funding database: rounds, countries, totals per announced currency, undisclosed rounds and rounds per category. Note: rounds, per_currency and undisclosed count equity rounds only, while by_category covers every category (equity, debt, fund, grant, ipo), so the category split can sum higher than the round count.

• get_funding_index

  The weekly Builders Fintech Funding Index of approved equity rounds (ISO weeks). Arguments: week (optional, 'YYYY-Www', e.g. '2026-W39') returns that week; otherwise the latest weeks, newest first. weeks (optional, 1–104, default 1) sets how many. Count Index = rounds this week / average of the prior 12 weeks × 100. USD median index uses disclosed USD rounds only (needs 5). Amounts are never converted. Published values are frozen; revised_* shows later corrections. coverage_affected is true when a coverage change falls in the week or its 12-week baseline; coverage_note then explains how the index overstates activity. Unknown arguments are rejected.

• get_investor_scorecard

  Follow-on scorecard for one investor by slug: of the portfolio companies it first backed at least the window ago, the share that raised a later approved round (equity or IPO) within the window, at least gap_days after entry. Only returned when the investor has at least min_eligible eligible companies. Arguments: slug (required). Unknown arguments are rejected.

• search_products

  Search fintech products by text, category, market, API availability or customer type. Company-provided, not part of the CC BY dataset. Each result carries provided_by, last_confirmed_at and sponsored; sponsorship never changes ordering. Arguments: q (or query) matched against name and short description; with no q the tool lists products alphabetically. cursor is the opaque next_cursor from a previous page. Unknown arguments are rejected.

• get_product

  Full public listing for one product by slug: description, category, markets, customer type, API, pricing model, links and the company. Company-provided, not part of the CC BY dataset. Each result carries provided_by, last_confirmed_at and sponsored; sponsorship never changes ordering.

• search_content

  Full-text search across published news, newsletter issues, podcast episodes and public entity pages. Arguments: q (or query): text to search for, at least 2 characters — required, this tool has no plain-list mode. Unknown arguments are rejected.

  One published item by type and slug, with its body text (truncated), topics, countries, organizations and people. News items also include a corrections array (date + note), newest first.

• search_podcast_knowledge

  Search attributed facts and question-and-answer pairs from Builders in Fintech podcast episodes (as stated by the guest, not independently verified). Arguments: q (or query) matched against fact text, and against questions and answers; organization (slug) = facts linked to that company or investor; person (slug) = facts said by that person; fact_type (figure, fact, plan, view); episode (podcast episode slug); limit; cursor (next_cursor from the previous page). With no q the tool lists the newest facts. The qa array is returned only when q is given and honours q and episode only. Unknown arguments are rejected.
