Investor Recent Investments

Find an investment firm's most recent investments with full company details. Two-step workflow:

1. Search for the investor to get their ID(s)
2. Use those IDs to find companies where the investor participated in the latest round

When to Use

• User wants to know what companies a specific investor backed recently
• User asks "what has Benchmark invested in recently?"

---

Step 1: Search for the Investor

Look up the investor by domain or name to get their UUID(s). A single domain like benchmark.com may return multiple entities.

By Domain

orth api run fundable /investor/search --query 'domain=benchmark.com'

By Name

orth api run fundable /investor/search --query 'name=benchmark'

Response:

  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "investors": [
      {
        "id": "abc123-...",
        "guru_permalink": "benchmark",
        "name": "Benchmark",
        "description": "Benchmark is an early-stage venture capital firm...",
        "image": "https://images.crunchbase.com/image/upload/...",

        "website": "https://www.benchmark.com/",
        "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/benchmark",
        "crunchbase": "https://crunchbase.com/organization/benchmark"
      },
      {
        "id": "def456-...",
        "guru_permalink": "benchmark-capital-partners",
        "name": "Benchmark Capital Partners",
        "description": "Benchmark Capital Partners...",
        "image": null,
        "relevance_score": 95,
        "domain": "benchmark.com",
        "website": "https://www.benchmark.com/",
        "linkedin": null,
        "crunchbase": null
      }
    ]
  }
}

Collect all id values from the response.

Step 2: Get Their Recent Investments

Pass the investor IDs into POST /companies using latest_deal.investor_ids to find companies where the investor participated in the most recent round.

orth api run fundable /companies --body '{
  "latest_deal": {
    "investor_ids": ["abc123-...", "def456-..."]
  },
  "sort_by": "most_recent_raise",
  "page_size": 25
}'

With Optional Filters

orth api run fundable /companies --body '{
  "latest_deal": {
    "investor_ids": ["abc123-...", "def456-..."],
    "financing_types": [{"type": "SERIES_A"}, {"type": "SERIES_B"}],
    "date_start": "2025-01-01"
  },
  "company": {
    "industries": ["artificial-intelligence"]
  },
  "sort_by": "most_recent_raise",
  "page_size": 25
}'

Error Handling

• 401 — Invalid or missing API key
• 402 — Insufficient credits
• 404 — Investor not found (Step 1) — try a different domain or name
• 422 — Unknown parameter
• 429 — Rate limit (200 req/min)
• Empty arrays are not allowed — omit the field instead of sending []

Tips

• An investor can have multiple entities (e.g. a16z.com maps to a16z, a16z Speedrun, a16z Bio, etc.) — always collect all IDs from Step 1
• latest_deal.investor_ids finds companies where the investor was in the latest round only — use investors.investor_ids instead if you want all-time portfolio companies
• The investor search endpoint (/investor/search) costs 0 credits
• Use name search if you don't know the firm's exact domain
• Paginate with page: 0, page: 1, etc. — check meta.total_count for total results
