The Hog
The Hog is a San Francisco startup from Y Combinator's Fall 2025 batch that packages people data, company data, web search, news, social signals, sentiment, and scraping behind a single pay-per-call API for AI agents and go-to-market teams. It routes each request through multiple data providers using waterfall logic, positioning itself as one endpoint that replaces a stack of tools like Clay, Apollo, Exa, and Tavily. Founded by growth operator Hudson Liao and AI engineer Paulo Nascimento, it aims to compress market research and outreach from hours into minutes.
