Funding Signal Outreach

Detects recent funding events across a set of companies, qualifies them against your company's context, finds the right people to reach out to, and drafts personalized emails. The full chain from signal to outreach-ready.

When to Auto-Load

Load this composite when:

• User says "check if any of these companies raised funding", "funding signal outreach", "reach out to recently funded companies"
• User has a list of companies and wants to act on funding signals
• An upstream workflow (TAM Pulse, company monitoring) triggers a funding signal check

Architecture

This composite is **tool-agnostic**. Each step defines a data contract (what goes in, what comes out). The specific tools that fulfill each step are configured once per client/user, not asked every run.
