Crustdata is a San Francisco company that supplies real-time company and people data through clean APIs and webhooks built for AI agents. Founded in 2024 and part of Y Combinator's Fall 2024 batch, it pulls live data from many primary sources so AI SDRs, recruiting tools, and investment platforms can find the right person, watch for job changes and funding rounds, and act on fresh signals instead of stale databases.
Crunchbase is a San Francisco-based platform that catalogs the private markets - companies, funding rounds, investors and the people behind them - and increasingly tries to predict what will happen next. Born in 2007 as a companion database to TechCrunch, it now serves millions of entrepreneurs, investors and sales teams, layering AI-driven funding and exit predictions on top of a dataset covering more than four million companies, sold through subscriptions, an enterprise API and CRM integrations.
