## FAQ

### What does the seed-funded startups task return?

The seed-funded UK and Germany software startups task returns one row per company: last round type and date, amount when recorded, domain, website, industry, headcount and HQ location.

### What input do I need for this seed startup search?

This seed-round search needs a start date (dateFrom). Round types, end date, countries, industries and headcount bands are optional filters, and limit caps how many companies come back.

### How do I run the seed-funded startups task from the API or a schedule?

The seed-funded startups task runs from the Apify Console, through the API, or on a schedule. Results export as JSON or CSV, so they open directly in Google Sheets or load into a CRM.

### How recent is the funding data for this startup list?

The seed-funded startups task works from a sample of funding events, not a complete feed. Records currently reach 2025-12-01, so windows after that date return nothing. Amounts are missing on some rows.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/b2bdata/funding-round-detector.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
