• Funding data is most accurate for well-known startups with public funding rounds.
• Combine with LinkedIn scrapers for a complete company intelligence picture.
• Schedule regular runs to track new funding rounds in your industry.
• Results are aggregated from public search data; some fields may show as N/A for private companies.
