# Leads that raised funding

A company that just closed a round has budget and a mandate to spend it.

## What it watches

A monthly funding snapshot. A company counts when it **moved up a stage or grew its last round** between two snapshots — a fresh raise, not old news. Fresh money comes with a mandate, and tooling gets picked in the first months after the round.

## Who becomes the lead

This is a **company signal**: the person who becomes the lead didn't raise anything — their employer did. You choose the **role** that becomes your way in (for example the CEO at founder-led companies, or the chief of staff), and FounderMCP finds that person at each raising company. Messaging congratulates the company on the round, never the person.

## What you configure

- Which rounds should count (the funding filter).
- How big the round has to be — a floor in euros, from any size up to €20M+. Rounds whose size the source doesn't mention drop out as soon as you set one.
- The role you want as your entry at each company.

## Syncing

**Monthly**, fixed: the snapshot refreshes on that rhythm, so syncing more often would return the same difference. Sync now stays available in between.

> Right after you add this signal, allow up to a month before the first results: a raise only becomes visible once two snapshots can be compared.
