Signalbase Real Time Funding

Real-time funding round signals for VC deal flow, signal-based outbound, and investment research. Detect Grants through Series F, and every other funding round within a minute of the original announcement, with company details, deal amounts, investors, and source attribution.

50k+ funding rounds detected and growing every minute. Used inside data vendors, GTM teams, and platforms running signal-based outbound on companies that just raised.

Why this beats most "funding data" sources

Most products selling funding data either pull from Crunchbase or other static databases (slow, often weeks behind) or scrape news intermittently. Neither works if you're acting on funding events as buying signals or sourcing deals competitively.

• Detection in under a minute. From announcement to API response in less than 60 seconds.
• Source attribution. Every signal includes the original news article, press release, or social media post where we detected it.
• Verified and contextualised. Every funding round includes a confidence score, verification status, and full company profile — industry, country, employee count, description, LinkedIn.
• Filterable by what matters. Round type, amount range, investor name, country, industry, employee count, founded year.

A funding round is a 30-day buying window. Most data sources show up to that window weeks late.

Built for

• B2B data vendors enriching company records with live funding events
• AI SDR and GTM platforms triggering outbound on companies that just raised — new budget, high intent
• Sales and outbound teams prospecting on freshly funded companies in their ICP
• Investment research and VCs monitoring deal flow in their thesis areas
• Lead generation tools layering funding events on top of firmographics as a real buying signal
• AI agents running autonomous deal sourcing or competitive intelligence

FAQ

How fast is "real-time"? Funding rounds are detected from news articles, press releases, and social media within seconds of publication and available through this API in under a minute. Compare to databases like Crunchbase that update with significant lag, or scrapers that run hourly.

What round types are covered? Filter using the round parameter. Available values include pre-seed, seed, series a, series b, series c, series d, series e, series f, growth, convertible, debt, grant, and more. Use round_flavor for sub-types like bridge or extension.

How accurate are the deal amounts? Each signal includes a confidenceScore and verificationStatus. Verified rounds have been cross-checked against the original source. Amounts are returned in the original currency reported, with currency indicating the unit.

Can I monitor specific companies, investors, or industries? Yes. Use company_name for specific companies, investor_name for deals involving a specific VC, and industry or categories for broader filters. For ongoing monitoring of a defined account list with webhook delivery, the direct Signalbase platform is a better fit than scheduled Apify runs. Get in touch at trysignalbase.com.

How do I avoid alerting on the same round twice? Every funding round has a unique signalId. Deduplicate on this field across runs.

Can I get webhooks or higher volume? Yes, on the direct Signalbase platform. Apify is great for evaluation; production-grade trigger workflows with webhooks, custom round taxonomies, and dedicated rate limits live on the direct plan. Production access starts with a paid pilot scoped directly with the founding team. Get in touch at trysignalbase.com.

Rate limits

The underlying Signalbase API has rate limits. If you hit a 429 response, wait a few seconds and retry.
