Company Funding News Press Signal Scanner Clay Enrichment

Give it a company domain, get back a clean list of that company's recent business events: funding rounds, executive moves, product launches, acquisitions, partnerships, and IPOs. The actor searches public news and press sources, classifies each story into a typed event, deduplicates the same event reported across multiple outlets, and returns one flat row per company. Built for Clay users, RevOps teams, and outbound agencies who want account signals without paying for a Crunchbase seat.

Features

• One domain in, structured events out. Input stripe.com, get funding, exec, launch, M&A, partnership, and IPO events attributed to that company.
• Six event types, classified for you. Each event is tagged funding_round, exec_move, product_launch, acquisition, partnership, ipo, with amount, currency, and funding stage pulled out when present.
• Cross source deduplication. The same funding round reported by three outlets collapses into one event with a corroborating_source_count, so more sources means higher confidence, not more noise.
• Subject relevance filter. Events are kept only when the company is the actual subject, not just mentioned. "Stripe raises" stays; "Stripe-backed startup raises" is dropped.
• Multi source. Google News RSS is the primary source, with press wire coverage (PR Newswire, Business Wire, GlobeNewswire) and a DuckDuckGo pass layered on top. If a source is unreachable, it is skipped and the run still completes.
• Clay native output. Flat JSON, snake_case, one row per company. Read the summary fields for a quick answer or unnest the events array for event level workflows.
• Per company summary. has_recent_funding, latest_event_date, funding_total_estimated, and most_recent_headline give you a usable signal in a single field, no parsing required.
• No browser, no proxy, no API keys. Fast HTTP and RSS only.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
domain	string	Yes	stripe.com	Company domain to scan, without https or www. The main input for single company runs and Clay per row enrichment.

Pricing

This actor uses pay per event. You are charged once per company scanned, no matter how many events come back, so the cost per row is predictable for Clay and batch runs.

Tier	Discount	Per result	Per 1K results
Free (no plan)	0%	$0.030	$30.00
Starter (Bronze)	~5%	$0.0285	$28.50
Scale (Silver)	~10%	$0.027	$27.00
Business (Gold)	~15%	$0.0255	$25.50

Free tier: 25 results per month included. Upgrade to a paid Apify plan for unlimited runs.

Usage Examples

Apify Console / API

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('funding-press-signal-scanner').call({
  domain: 'stripe.com',
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items[0].has_recent_funding, items[0].total_events);

Clay Integration

1. In your Clay table, add an enrichment and choose Apify (or call the actor through the HTTP API action).
2. Map your domain column to the domain input.
3. Run the actor. Each row returns one record.
4. Pull the summary fields straight into columns: has_recent_funding, funding_total_estimated, most_recent_event_type, latest_event_date.
5. For event level workflows, use Clay's unnest on the events array to expand one row per event.

Clay sends inputs as strings; the actor normalizes them, so you can map columns directly.

MCP Integration

$npm install -g @mambalabsdev/mcp-funding-press-signal-scanner

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "funding-press-signal-scanner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mambalabsdev/mcp-funding-press-signal-scanner"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Then call the scan_funding_press_signals tool with a domain.

Error Handling

Condition	Behavior	Output
One source times out, returns a challenge page, or is blocked	The source is skipped, the run continues	That source is absent from sources_queried
No events found for the company	A valid row is returned	total_events is 0, has_recent_funding is false
No valid domain provided	The run exits without pushing a row	No output, no charge
A date cannot be parsed	The event is still returned	date is null on that event

Limitations

• Events come from news and press, so date is the article publish date, a close proxy for the actual event date.
• funding_total_estimated is a rough sum of raise amounts detected in the last 12 months, not an all time funding total. News does not always let us separate rounds perfectly, so treat it as a signal, not an audited figure.
• Company matching is keyword based. A company whose name is a common word, or whose name is shared by another firm (for example two different companies both called Ramp), can pick up some off target events.
• Person names in exec_move events are best effort and not verified.
• Up to 50 most recent events are returned per company.
• Sources are public and English language, US edition. No login gated sources, no Crunchbase, no PitchBook.
• No proxy is used by default. If blocking becomes a pattern, Google News RSS remains the primary, block resistant source.

FAQ

Is this legal? The actor reads public news and press pages only. It does not access login gated or paywalled sources, and it does not scrape Crunchbase or PitchBook.

How fresh is the data? Each scan looks back about 12 months and returns the most recent events first. Repeated scans of the same domain within 24 hours are served from cache.
