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.
NewsCatcher is a news and web search API company that turns the open web into a clean, structured database of real-world events.
