}One investor's portfolio. The investor, its portfolio companies (latest deal first, with the round it joined), its top categories, how its deals split by stage and by year (`allocation`), and its most frequent co-investors. When the investor matches a firm in the Fundraising Fox Open Dataset (CC BY 4.0), `profile` carries the firm type, headquarters, founded year, stages, sectors, check size and track-record counts, and `fund_returns` lists its funds' net IRR, TVPI and DPI as reported by LPs; both are null or empty otherwise. `funds_raised` lists the venture funds the firm raised (each a Fund, as in `/api/v1/funds`), newest first; empty when none is on the list. `team`, `limited_partners` and `positions` are researched facts about the firm, each with the public page that states it (`source_url`): its people (partners and employees, current and former, with their X and LinkedIn profiles), the limited partners that have publicly disclosed a commitment to its funds, and the token and liqu

}A market landscape by segment, with every company's rounds. Every company of a landscape in exactly one segment: exchanges and platforms, sports event contracts, infrastructure and oracles, analytics and data, trading tools, social apps, and the adjacent sports-betting and odds-tool segment (not part of the category, not counted in its totals). Each company has its website, a short description, its total sourced raise, its latest round and all its dated rounds; amount_usd is set only with the source that states it. `segment_source` says whether the segment was reviewed by hand (`reviewed`) or read from the description of a company not reviewed yet (`rule`).

}Rank companies on one metric. One ranked list per metric; there is no combined score. Only companies with a value and a source link for that metric are ranked, and `sample_size` counts all of them. Ties share a rank (1, 2, 2, 4). `raised_ytd` sums the company's rounds announced in `year` (up to today for the current year) that have an amount and a source URL, and returns those rounds. Unknown query parameters are rejected with 400. `gained_ytd` needs two sourced valuations, so it ranks far fewer companies than `raised_ytd`; `sample_size` says how many, and it is deliberately small rather than padded with estimates. Each entry carries `from_valuation`, `from_date`, `from_source_url`, `to_valuation`, `to_date`, `to_stage`, `to_amount_usd`, `to_source_url` and `multiple`.

}List recent acquisitions. Acquisitions, most recently announced first (deals without a date last). Acquisitions are not funding rounds: they are never in `/api/v1/rounds`, company raise amounts or any capital total. A price is returned only with `price_source_url`, the article that states it; deals whose price was not disclosed publicly have `price_usd: null`. Unknown query parameters are rejected with 400.

Each deal's `buyer_type` and `acquirer.pe_sponsor` say which; the firms are at `/api/v1/pe-firms`. |

The filters are the ones on /founders/. scope=all (default), crypto or founders (roles naming a founder).
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| q | string | Case-insensitive search over the person's name, company name, and role. Every word must appear, in any order ("jane acme" finds Jane at Acme). Up to 200 characters; longer is a 400. |
| role | string | The person's role at the company: `founder` (a role naming a founder), `ceo`, `cto`, or `all`. `scope=founders` is the same as `role=founder`. |
| sort | string | `newest`: the company newest on record first; `raised`: most raised (sourced rounds); `name`; `latest_raise`: the company's latest round first; `profile`: people with a researched profile first, then by latest round. |
| team | string | Size of the founding team at the person's company, counted from the people on record as founders: `solo`, `duo`, `trio`, `more` (four or more), or `any`. |

List new venture capital funds. New venture capital funds, most recently announced first, from the list of new VC funds Shai Goldman (Brex) compiles in a public sheet (credited in `credit`) and from fund announcements in the press (a fund is listed from the press only when the article states its size). A fund's size is returned only with `amount_source_url`: the press article or post that states it (`amount_via: press`), or, where none was found, the public fund list itself (`amount_via: fund-list`). Sizes a source contradicts, targets that were not closes and implausible sizes are `null`, as are fund numbers a source contradicts. Funds are investors' own capital, not startup rounds: they are never in `/api/v1/rounds` or any capital total. The same list is at /funds/. Unknown query parameters are rejected with 400.
