Beyond firmographics, Metal enriches the financial attributes your firm uses to size and screen opportunities — valuation, capital raised, revenue, and more. Like every enriched value, each metric is drawn from multiple sources and reconciled into a single trusted figure with a citation behind it.

​
Financial attributes

Metal can enrich a range of financial metrics on a company. Common ones include:
FieldDescription
lastValuationThe company’s most recent known valuation.
lastRoundDateThe date of the most recent funding round.
lastAmountRaisedThe amount raised in the most recent round.
totalMoneyRaisedTotal capital raised to date.
lastFinancialsThe most recent reported financials (such as revenue).
ownershipStatusWhether the company is private, public, or sponsor-owned.
employeeCountHeadcount, used as a size proxy.
Which attributes Metal enriches — and which sources it uses — is configured by an admin under Settings → Enrichment. The exact set available to your organization depends on that configuration.

​
Where financial values come from

Financial metrics are sourced the same way as any enriched attribute, with documents playing an outsized role:
  • Your documents — Metal extracts figures from CIMs, financial statements, Quality of Earnings reports, board decks, and other files. Admins choose which document types to extract from under Settings → Extraction.
  • Third-party data and web search — used to fill gaps and corroborate document figures.
  • User input — values your team enters or confirms.
Because the same metric often appears across several sources with different numbers, Metal ranks and reconciles them into one displayed value — and keeps the alternatives, each with its source, confidence, and date.

Reading financial metrics over the API

Financial attributes are returned on the company record as their reconciled displayed values. Trigger enrichment, then read the company once it completes: 
# Trigger enrichment
curl -X POST https://api.metal.ai/v1/companies/665f1c2a9b1e4a0012a3b4c5/enrich \
  -H "x-metal-client-id: $METAL_CLIENT_ID" \
  -H "x-metal-api-key: $METAL_API_KEY"

# Read the enriched company
curl https://api.metal.ai/v1/companies/665f1c2a9b1e4a0012a3b4c5 \
  -H "x-metal-client-id: $METAL_CLIENT_ID" \
  -H "x-metal-api-key: $METAL_API_KEY"
Use lastEnrichedAt to confirm a value reflects the latest run. See Enrichment for how to tell when a run is in progress.
Supplying a website and location when you create a company improves the accuracy of financial enrichment by helping Metal match the right entity across sources.
