## Use it with your agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into your agent, then tell it what you need.

Read https://scrollport.com/start. Use my existing Scrollport connection, or help me connect if needed. Help me use Investor Search (tool ID: crunchbase.investor-search). Ask me for the details you need, then show me the result.

Provider access is included. If your agent isn't connected to Scrollport yet, it will help you set that up.

## Other tools for this job

[Compare all 2 →](https://scrollport.com/tools/investor-research-api)

- [Investor Profile](https://scrollport.com/tools/providers/crunchbase/investor-profile) Crunchbase $0.0140 per request $0.0140 per request

## Questions

**Is Investor Search by Crunchbase free?**

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0280 per request ($2.80 per 100 requests), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

**Do I need an API key from Crunchbase?**

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to Crunchbase, so you don't sign up with Crunchbase or manage an API key.

## Details

Failed requests are uncharged.

### Input

`limit` integer · optional

Maximum number of results to return.
