# List similar investors

> Investors ranked by similarity to this investor, scored by weighted overlap of their investment-portfolio tags — the industries and sectors of the companies each has funded (the legacy investment_categories / investment_sectors signals). Force-sorted by score; supports the full investor filter DSL to narrow the candidate pool. Offset pagination, capped at offset+limit ≤ 1000.

      native-currency amount.
