BASE
Webhook-driven from the Fundup funding feed
BASE
One funding event, one timeline row.
Fundup rounds become scored funding signals — amount, stage, and investors when known — without merging multiple rounds into a blurry average. Each event can schedule Funding + AI checkpoints and bump hiring or web crawl priority.
- Exactly one Fundup event → one funding signal
- Confidence blends stage and amount bands
- Schedules Funding + AI checkpoints at 30 / 60 / 90 days
- Can bump hiring pulls and web crawl priority

What it is
A funding round as a timed company fact
A Funding signal is one funding round — amount, stage, investors when known — written as a single timeline event. Label copy is LLM-written with a deterministic fallback. It is BASE: born from the Fundup feed, not inferred from other VeilStrat rows.
Unlike Hiring, Funding does not collapse many events into one row. Idempotency is on the Fundup id so the same round does not duplicate. That clarity is what lets Funding + AI age from the funding date instead of a messy merge.
- Standalone funding lists and company timelines both read this row
- Required half of the Funding + AI journey composition
- Can bump web crawl priority and trigger a hiring pull for the company

What fires after Funding lands
Funding + AI checkpoints

Bump enroll / crawl urgency for the company site
Contrast with Hiring: Funding never merges multiple rounds into one row.
How it forms
Webhook in, scored row out
Funding is BASE — written from the Fundup feed, idempotent on the Fundup id, then fanned out to journey checkpoints and optional pulls.
- 1
Fundup publishes a round
A funding event arrives via webhook-driven ingest with stage, amount, and investor fields when available.
- 2
Write exactly one signal
VeilStrat creates one funding row for that event — no multi-round merge — keyed so repeats of the same Fundup id do not duplicate.
- 3
Label and score
LLM-written label copy with a deterministic fallback. Confidence averages a stage score and an amount-band score at write time.
- 4
Fan out follow-ons
Schedule Funding + AI checkpoints at 30 / 60 / 90 days after the funding date; may pull hiring and bump web crawl priority for the company.
Confidence
Average of stage and amount
Write-time confidence is the average of a stage score and an amount-band score — transparent bands instead of a black-box “intent” number.

Stock vs flow
Funding signals vs news digests
Press alerts and CRM notes arrive late and unstructured. Funding signals land as scored timeline facts the same day the round is published.
