Track Funding Rounds
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.
npm install -g @cargo-ai/cli
cargo-ai login --email you@company.com # sends a code, then exits
cargo-ai login --email you@company.com --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.

Do the job
# 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 (2s interval) or
cargo-ai orchestration batch get (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:
