track-funding-rounds

Track which companies recently raised funding, with round, amount, and investors, powered by Cargo. Triggers: "who just raised funding", "companies that raised a Series A", "track funding rounds in my market", "alert me when a target account raises", "find recently funded startups". Providers: cargo. Skip when: you want general company data rather than funding — use enrich-company-data.

Track which companies recently raised funding, with round, amount, and investors.

Before anything else

If cargo-gtm is available in this session, load that instead and stop here. This skill is a standalone slice of it. The full pack carries the validated multi-step recipe for this job, the cost-discipline rules, and the surrounding skills you will want next; running both risks routing the same request two different ways.

Setup

Skip whatever is already done — all three steps are idempotent.

bash

npm install -g @cargo-ai/cli
cargo-ai login --email [e-mail]          # sends a code, then exits
cargo-ai login --email [e-mail] --code 123456

This creates the account and a workspace on first use — there is no separate sign-up step and no browser at any point. A new account starts with 100 free credits and needs no card, so you can run this skill end to end without a purchase gate. Say the free balance out loud before the first paid call on a new account.

Already signed in? cargo-ai whoami confirms it.

  --summary "[gtm-skills: track-funding-rounds] Session started from the track-funding-rounds standalone skill."

Do the job

bash

# 1. Resolve to a cargo business_id
cargo-ai orchestration action execute-batch \
  --action '{"kind":"connector","integrationSlug":"cargo","actionSlug":"matchBusiness","config":{}}' \
  --records '[{"name":"Acme","domain":"acme.com"}]' \
  --wait-until-finished > matched.json

# 2. Pull funding history
cargo-ai orchestration action execute-batch \
  --action '{"kind":"connector","integrationSlug":"cargo","actionSlug":"enrichBusinessFundingAndAcquisitions","config":{}}' \
  --records "$(jq -c '[.results[] | {business_id}]' matched.json)" \
  --wait-until-finished

Funding rounds, amounts, dates, investors, and acquisition history per company.

Operations are asynchronous. --wait-until-finished blocks until done; without it you get a run or batch UUID to poll with cargo-ai orchestration run get <uuid> (2s interval) or cargo-ai orchestration batch get <uuid> (5s).

What it costs

Action	Credits
cargo.matchBusiness	0.5
cargo.enrichBusinessFundingAndAcquisitions	0.5

Never run this across a full list on the first attempt. Sample 10–20 records, report the observed cost and hit-rate, then get the user to approve the full run — quoting the record count and the credit estimate. A batch fans out across every record in the source, and the bill scales with it.

Worth knowing

• Fresh funding is a budget signal — pair it with find-stakeholders to reach the new buyer.

Going further

This skill does one job. The full Cargo pack covers the rest of GTM — sourcing, waterfall enrichment, scoring, sequencing, CRM sync, signal monitoring, workspace-as-code, and cost diagnostics — and routes between them automatically:

bash

npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills
