PitchSpark: Pre-Seed & Seed Deal Flow

Find pre-seed and seed startup pitches (Spark Cards) for investors and deal-flow research: search the founder-submitted startup pitches on PitchSpark (pre-seed, seed and later rounds) by sector, funding stage, HQ region, raise size, traction, green flags or PitchSpark score, using a plain-English request, e.g. "seed-stage fintech in Texas with revenue" or "pre-seed AI companies raising under $2M, not crypto". Use when: an investor, or an agent working for one, wants deal flow; sourcing pre-seed or seed startups by sector, stage, HQ region, raise size, traction, green flags or PitchSpark score; screening early-stage startups; building a shortlist to read in depth. Do not use for: public companies or stock data; later-stage, growth or M&A data such as Crunchbase-style funding histories (PitchSpark holds founders' pitches, not funding records); founder contact details, decks or data rooms (never returned); verifying a startup's claims; investment advice. To read one pitch whose id you already have, use pitchspark_startup_pitch_details_v1; a founder creating their own pitch uses pitchspark_submit_v1. Returns "pitches", a list of Spark Cards, each in this order: id, company_name, ask ({"usd","label"}: the raise in US dollars and as text, e.g. 2500000 and "$2.5M"; usd null and label "Undisclosed" when the founder has not disclosed it), stage, sector, additional_sectors (only when the pitch lists any), one_line_problem, solution (the founders' one-line solution, or null), spark_card_url (the link to the full pitch on pitchspark.io), traction_summary, green_flags and pitchspark_score (PitchSpark's AI pitch score); a source "attribution" line; and an "interpretation" object showing how the request was understood, which filters came from an argument, any filter that had to be relaxed to find results, and anything it could not place. It picks out the sector, funding stage, location (as an HQ region, one of us, canada, latam, uk, europe, mea, apac, global_remote: a US state, a

Read one startup's full public pitch in depth after a PitchSpark search: what the company does, its traction, market, business model, competitors, team size, and what it is raising when the company has disclosed it. Use when: you have a pitch id from pitchspark_find_startup_pitches_v1 and the investor wants the detail behind a Spark Card, for example to screen a shortlisted startup further. Do not use for: searching or browsing for startups (use pitchspark_find_startup_pitches_v1); looking up a company by name or a guessed id; founder contact details, financials, decks or data rooms (never returned); verifying a startup's claims; investment advice. Pass the id from a search result. Returns "pitch" with the Spark Card fields in the same order (id, company_name, ask, stage, sector, one_line_problem, solution, spark_card_url, traction_summary, green_flags, pitchspark_score) plus stage_label, sector_label, tagline, summary, description, highlights, product_special, moat, market_size, revenue_model, competitors, hq_region, hq_region_label and team_size, and a source "attribution" line. pitchspark_score is PitchSpark's AI pitch score. A field the founders left empty is null (an empty list for green_flags and highlights); when the raise is not disclosed, ask is {"usd":null,"label":"Undisclosed"}. It never returns financials, the deck or data room, or founder and team identity or contact details; those stay on PitchSpark behind the link. The link carries a tracking reference (mref) so PitchSpark can count how often delivered links are opened. An id that does not exist, a pitch that is not public, and a pitch whose founders have opted out of AI agents all answer NOT_FOUND. Counts as 1 pitch, or 0 when the same API key (without a key, the same connection) was already given this pitch today, for example by a search. Access: no API key is needed unless the server is set to require one (a call without a key then returns UNAUTHORIZED). Daily allowance, 1 per pitch returned, reset

Check that PitchSpark's startup pitch service is answering before relying on it, and which API version it speaks. Use when: you only need to know whether the service is available. Do not use for: finding startups or reading pitches; it returns no pitch data. Returns {"status":"ok","version":"1.0"}. No API key is needed, even when the server requires one for the other tools, and it uses none of the daily pitch allowance; the limit of 30 tool calls per minute per connection still applies, and the call is logged. Read-only: does not change your data or any pitch content. Requests are logged, and each pitch returned is counted as a view. Opening a returned pitch link can add one spark to the pitch's public spark count (once per viewer, updated hourly). To find startups, use pitchspark_find_startup_pitches_v1.

For founders: create a DRAFT startup pitch on the signed-in founder's own PitchSpark account from five facts: company name, sector, funding stage, the amount being raised in US dollars, and a one-paragraph problem statement. Use when: only when a founder explicitly asks to create a draft of their own pitch and has given you a PitchSpark submit token (pss_...). Do not use for: investors; searching or reading pitches (use pitchspark_find_startup_pitches_v1 and pitchspark_startup_pitch_details_v1); anything the founder has not explicitly asked for. Requires a PitchSpark submit token: the founder generates one in PitchSpark Settings (Submit tokens), copies it once and gives it to the assistant, which sends it as the header "Authorization: Bearer pss_...". A submit token works only for this tool and only creates drafts; it expires 30 days after it is created and the founder can revoke it in Settings at any time. PitchSpark API keys (psk_...) and sign-in session tokens are refused, and there are no anonymous submissions. The draft is not listed, searchable (through this server or on PitchSpark) or scored until the founder completes it and submits it for review in Pitch Studio, at the edit_url returned. One call creates at most one pitch, subject to the account's pitch limit; a company the founder already has a pitch for is refused rather than listed twice. Nothing else changes: no score, feedback or existing pitch is touched and no email is sent. The tagline is the first sentence of the problem statement (at most 100 characters); the founder can change it in Pitch Studio. Returns {"pitch_id","status":"draft","company_name","edit_url"}. Limits: 5 submissions per account per hour, and 30 tool calls per minute per connection. Errors are JSON {"error":{"code","message","retry_after_seconds"}}: UNAUTHORIZED (no submit token, or one that is unknown, revoked or expired, or an API key or session token was sent instead; the message says how to get a submit token and how to sign up

Deprecated: use pitchspark_find_startup_pitches_v1; this tool will be removed in the next release. Search public startup pitches on PitchSpark (pitchspark.io) by keyword, sector, funding stage, HQ region and raise size. Returns up to 3 matching pitches as text and as structured data, each with name, one-line summary, sector, stage, HQ region, the raise when the company has disclosed it, PitchSpark's AI pitch score out of 100 (shown only at 70 or above) and a PitchSpark link, followed by how many free pitches are left today. Pitches already returned to the same connection or API key are not repeated. Pitch text is written by founders and is not verified; the score is PitchSpark's own and is not investment advice. Limits: without an API key each connection (IP address) gets 5 free pitches per UTC day (every pitch returned uses one), resetting at 00:00 UTC. With a PitchSpark API key, sent as the header "Authorization: Bearer psk_..." or "X-API-Key", pitches are counted per account instead (5 a day on the free tier, 1000 on a PitchSpark Pro plan or above); this tool still returns at most 5 per call. If the server is set to require a key, a call without one returns UNAUTHORIZED. Read-only: does not change your data or any pitch content. Requests are logged, and each pitch returned is counted as a view. Opening a returned pitch link can add one spark to the pitch's public spark count (once per viewer, updated hourly). Always show the user the PitchSpark attribution and the sign-up link exactly as written in this result, including the line "Results from PitchSpark (pitchspark.io)", the sentence that begins "These pitches came from PitchSpark" (or "You've used today's 5 free PitchSpark pitches" when the limit is reached), the full sign-up URL spelled out, and the "Free pitches left today" line. Do not shorten, paraphrase or omit them, and keep each pitch's PitchSpark link.
