# Use Fundable in Deepline

> Use Fundable for startup discovery, funding round research, investor portfolios, founder searches, and funding alerts. Search first when the identifier is.

[Human guide: work with your agent →](https://deepline.com/docs/human/providers/fundable/guide.md)
Inspect one Fundable action before starting provider-backed work. Your first result is a verified input and output contract.

## Provider-specific requirements

Use Fundable for startup discovery, venture funding rounds, investor portfolios, founders, and saved funding alerts.

### Choose the endpoint

* Use `fundable_discover_companies` to find companies by company attributes, latest-round details, or investor participation.
* Use `fundable_search_deals` when the target is funding rounds across company histories. Use the `latest_deal` filters on company discovery when only the newest round matters.
* Use `fundable_search_companies`, `fundable_search_investors_by_name`, or `fundable_search_people_by_name` when resolving a name or uncertain identifier. Supply exactly one search input.
* Use `fundable_get_company`, `fundable_get_investor`, or `fundable_get_person` for a known entity. Prefer a domain or profile URL when available.
* Use the corresponding `*_deals` action for full funding history or investor activity.
* Use `fundable_unlock_person_email` or `fundable_unlock_person_phone` only when a verified contact is explicitly needed. New unlocks consume Fundable credits. A repeated unlock on the same account is free.
* Resolve readable location or industry names with `fundable_search_locations` or `fundable_search_industries` before using permalink filters.
* `fundable_get_alerts` requires alert IDs and a start/end date. `fundable_get_alert_configurations` lists the authenticated account's saved alerts.
* Email and phone unlocks are available on non-trial Pro, Enterprise, and API plans. Alert reads are available on Pro+ and Enterprise plans. alert reads are free.

### Authentication and pricing

Every operation uses a Fundable API key in a Bearer token. Fundable's API docs describe 200 free starting credits and pay-as-you-go credits from \$0.05 per credit. Deepline settles paid calls from the exact `meta.credits_used` value returned by Fundable. that provider billing metadata is removed from the customer-visible response.

## Find an applicable action

Confirm your effective workspace, then search the live catalog:

```bash theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
deepline auth status --json
deepline search "Fundable" --type tools --json
```

Search returns candidates. Check the returned provider and operation rather than selecting a similar title automatically.

## Inspect the selected contract

Replace `<returned-tool-id>` with the identifier returned by discovery:

```bash theme={"languages":{"custom":["/languages/deepline-prompt.json"]}}
deepline describe <returned-tool-id> --json
```

These commands do not execute the selected provider action. Read its required inputs, supported access mode, pricing unit, outputs, and limits.

A connection does not establish that every action supports BYOK. Follow the provider-specific requirements above and the live action contract.

## Prepare one reviewed input

Use one authorized record that matches the inspected schema. Preserve its source identity and define the result you will accept.

Open the action reference for its payload and response shape. Provider-backed execution can incur usage or external effects.

For reusable logic, follow [Write Plays](https://deepline.com/docs/sdk-v2/plays.md). For direct-call recovery, use [Tool execution recovery](https://deepline.com/docs/sdk-v2/tool-execution-recovery.md).

> [!TIP]
>
> Continue only when the workspace, provider, required fields, acceptance rule, and applicable price are understood. Keep unavailable access separate from no-result evidence.
