Company Funding Benchmark
Seven APIs receive the same company domain. The benchmark evaluates the latest funding stage — the funding signal most useful for account prioritization, qualification, and GTM routing.
The cohort spans recent and historical funding announcements across early, Series A, Series B, later-stage, and other equity outcomes. We surface latest funding stage, latest funding date, latest round amount, total raised, and funding-round count. The headline rank is correct stage yield: correct latest stages divided by companies with an available verified stage reference; the other fields contribute to the separate returned-data coverage metric.

[00] verdict
Which funding data API is best for GTM?
The answer depends on failure mode: Fiber has the best end-to-end latest-stage result (77.2% correct stage yield).
| Your constraint | Pick by | Current leader |
|---|---|---|
| Most correct latest-stage data end to end | highest correct stage yield | Fiber 77.2% |
| Few wrong stage values when one is returned | highest accuracy when present | Fiber 84.2% |
| Fill the latest stage on the most qualified accounts | highest stage fill rate | Fiber 91.8% |
| Resolve the most company domains | highest resolution rate | CompanyEnrich 97.7% |
| Funding enrichment in a real-time agent flow | lowest median latency | People Data Labs 275 ms |
[01] leaderboard
Correct stage yield first. Coverage and speed in context.
All providers received the same domains. A stage is correct only when it maps to the same canonical latest-stage label as the source-verified reference. Missing reference labels are excluded from the denominator; missing provider stages lower yield but not accuracy when present.
Funding field coverage is a separate output-completeness metric: the share of five normalized fields returned (latest stage, date, round amount, total raised, and round count). It shows how much funding context a provider supplies, not whether those additional fields are correct. Fiber currently returns the most complete funding records (89.1%).

[02] methodology+
[02.a] cohort design
A GTM-oriented latest-funding cohort
The benchmark is designed for account prioritization and qualification. It over-samples companies with a known funding transition so that providers are evaluated on an actionable signal instead of mostly empty records.
8–90 days
Newer announcements that test update speed across early, Series A, Series B, and later-stage funding.
Last 7 days
Fresh company-issued announcements, included to expose real update lag.
Scored stage truth
Only companies with a specific, source-verified latest stage enter the stage denominator.
[02.b] sourcing and validation
Source first, provider second
- Sample candidate companies from a time-windowed funding-transition index and independently research the announced event.
- Keep records with a direct company newsroom, company-issued wire announcement, or equivalent primary source; retain source URL, date, stage, amount, and evidence note.
- Add a fresh-announcement cohort discovered from current public funding news, then require a verified company-domain identity before inclusion.
- Freeze the 300-domain input list before any provider is scored. Candidate-source fields are never used as provider outputs.
[02.c] evaluated field
Latest funding stage
- Normalize source and provider labels into one canonical stage contract: pre-seed, seed, Series A–H, private equity, growth, strategic, debt, grant, and other equity outcomes.
- Compare only the latest stage. Specific stages such as
Series B1normalize to their parent stage; vague labels such as “early stage” are not scored. - Funding date, amount, round count, and total raised are retained in normalized provider responses but are not headline-scored in this release.
[02.d] headline metric
Correct stage yield
correct latest stages ÷ companies with an available verified stage- Missing or incorrect returned stages lower yield. Companies without a specific reference stage do not count.
- Accuracy when present uses returned stages as its denominator; stage fill rate measures whether a provider returned a stage at all.
[02.e] fair execution
One request per provider × domain
- Each provider receives the same company domain through its documented company or funding endpoint.
- Raw responses, normalized fields, request latency, status, and failure reason are stored for every run. Only DNS/transient transport failures are retried; non-resolutions and rate-limit outcomes remain visible.
- The leaderboard converts observed usage at public self-serve rates where the endpoint billing basis is known. Plan minimums and opaque endpoint pricing remain explicit.
[03] per-company evidence
Every company × every provider.
Each cell shows whether the provider returned the source-verified latest funding stage. Hover a cell for its status and latency.
