Illustrative output #
Fictional records, to show the shape of what comes back.
| name | domain | industry | headcount | linkedinUrl |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northwind | northwind.example | Logistics software | 240 | linkedin.com/company/northwind-example |
| Tailspin | tailspin.example | Travel tech | 85 | linkedin.com/company/tailspin-example |
| Wingtip | Fintech | 30 | linkedin.com/company/wingtip-example |
20 portfolio companies on the first pull for 60 credits (20 × 3); 2 have no domain on record and are left empty for enrichment, and the full portfolio waits for your go.

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 #
- Investor membership needs SQL:
summary.investors LIKE %Name%is not expressible in cargo’s filter shape, which is why this uses PDL’s SQL query rather than a cheaper structured search. - Accelerator batches work the same way — YC and similar are stored in
summary.investorsalongside VCs. - PDL bills per returned row: 3 credits a company, so a 140-company portfolio is 420 credits.
limitcaps the bill; an uncapped query is the expensive mistake. - One warm investor intro beats fifty cold emails; pull the list, then ask the investor for the intro.
