discover_email

Find a real, deliverable professional email for a person at a company. Pass first name + last name + the company domain; get back the verified address, a confidence score, and a short note about who it likely reaches. Charges 1 credit only when an address is found. May take a moment on first call — if the response comes back with no matches, call this tool again with the same args and the answer typically returns instantly. Pairs naturally with scan_agent_readiness for outbound prospecting: scan a prospect's site for a 0-100 AI-readiness score, find the owner via web search, then call this tool for the verified email — the readiness gaps become the outreach hook.

enrich_email

One-call CRM/inbox enrichment. Pass an email, get back: the best available name and its source, the person's public Gravatar profile when they have one (name, title, company, location, verified social accounts), the domain's mail provider, matched person record (if known), the email's domain matched against startups + investors (with funding intel for VC-backed scoring), a heuristic name guess from the local part if person is unknown, and a flag for free email providers (gmail/outlook/etc) so you can skip company matching on consumer addresses. The killer endpoint for HubSpot/Salesforce auto-enrichment, Gmail/Outlook plugins, and lead-scoring pipelines. 1 profile credit (cheaper than chaining get_person_by_email + get_startup_by_domain + get_investor_by_domain separately).

Convenience wrapper around search_startups pre-tuned for fresh-stealth deal-flow. Always sends stealth=true and sort=founded_date.desc; those two cannot be changed here. Returns stealth startups with their detected tech stack (CDN, email provider, analytics), RDAP domain registration date, and a has_known_emails flag indicating whether at least one founder/team email has been verified.

generate_startup_list

Prompt → curated startup list. Pass a natural-language brief like 'stealth AI agent startups in Israel founded after 2024' and the engine runs a Google-grounded search, parses results, finds-or-creates the matching startup rows in StartupHub.ai's database, and returns up to 50 startup IDs. Caller can then hand those IDs to a separate /lists/submit call to publish the list as a public, indexed page. Useful workflows: (1) build a portfolio-style page from a prompt without manual curation, (2) extract a list of companies from raw text (paste a YC batch page, a16z portfolio, CSV: set 'pasted_list' instead of 'prompt'), (3) regularly refresh a 'who's new in X sector' list via cron. Each call costs 5 credits (Pro Lite=15/day, Pro=50/day). Returns the matched startups (id/name/slug/logo) plus a 'created' count showing how many were brand new in our DB. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Argument	Type	Description

query_funding

Answer how much funding was raised, how many rounds closed, or how many companies were founded, for a country, sector, series, and year. This is the StartupHub /analysis chart as data. Use it for questions like 'how much funding did Canadian startups raise in 2026'. dataset=rounds (default) is announced round capital in that year. dataset=startups is companies founded that year, and the dollar total is what those companies have raised to date, not capital raised during the year. dataset=funds is fund closes. dataset=investors counts firms founded, with no dollar total. country is a full English name: Canada, United States, United Kingdom. group=sector or group=country returns a breakdown. Free, no API key. Returns the count, total USD, a chart URL, and the periods or categories behind the total.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
to	number	Last year, inclusive. Ignored when year is set. Default the current year. Clamped between from and the current year.

year	number	Calendar year, an integer from 1970 to 2100. Sets both from and to. Example: 2026.
group	string	How to break the total down. Default time, which is the single undivided total. Depends on dataset: funds and startups have no series; investors allows only time, sector and country. An invalid value becomes time. group=sector counts a company in every sector it carries, so that total is higher.

Free, no credits charged. Common workflow: when a user wants leads who *need* AI-readiness work, search the web for businesses in a category/region, scan each site, then use discover_email on the lowest-scoring ones: the failed checks are the cold-outreach hook ('your site scores 23/100, here's what's missing').
