Getting started
LatestRounds is a GTM trigger layer — funding closes, your stack reacts. Use the REST API, MCP server, or webhook polling to pipe enriched funding data into your CRM, enrichment tool, or AI assistant.
Get your API key
Generate a key from your API dashboard. Every request requires it in the Authorization header.
Keep your key server-side only. Never expose it in client-side code or public repos.
Make your first request
Fetch the latest seed rounds in the US. Each record returned costs 1 credit.
curl -s "https://latestrounds.com/api/v1/funding/latest?limit=5&country=US&stage=seed" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"Response shape
data[]— array of funding rounds with embedded company + investor datapagination— count, limit, offset, has_moremeta.credits— credits charged and balance after this call
Connect the MCP server (optional)
Add this to your .mcp.json to query funding data in natural language inside Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI client. No SQL, no endpoints to memorize.
{
"mcpServers": {
"latestrounds": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "latestrounds-mcp@latest", "--api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY"]
}
}
}MCP calls consume the same credits as direct API calls. Full MCP setup guide →
Wire up your GTM trigger
Poll the funding feed on a daily schedule, filter against your ICP, and push matches into your CRM or outreach tool. A round closes → your sequence fires — all within hours.
// Poll daily — new seed rounds in the US
const res = await fetch("https://latestrounds.com/api/v1/funding/latest?stage=seed&country=US&from=TODAY", {
headers: { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
});
const { data } = await res.json();
// Filter against your ICP, push matches to your CRM
for (const round of data) {
if (matchesICP(round)) await pushToCRM(round);
