💰 Pricing (pay-per-event)

You pay per company returned. There is no per-run setup fee. The current per-event price is shown on the Store card and in the Actor's Monetization details. Because billing is per company, you only pay for the companies actually delivered.

❓ FAQ

What URL should I provide?

A PitchBook company profile URL, for example https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/10874-98.

Can I collect many companies at once?

Yes. Provide a list in companyUrls; they are collected in parallel and returned one row per company.

Do you return funding and investor data?

Yes. Each row includes a funding summary (total raised, last financing, valuation) and named investors, where PitchBook lists them.

What if a company cannot be collected?

The API returns a clear error row for that URL explaining why, so a single bad URL does not fail the whole run.
