🔌 Works Great With

• Website Tech Stack Detector — Get the tech stack for funded companies. See if they're using your product category.
• LinkedIn Company Intelligence — Combine funding data with employee movement. See who's hiring after a Series B.
• Product Review Aggregator — Check how the funded company's product is actually rated.
• Job Board Aggregator — Track hiring spikes post-funding. New round = hiring surge coming.

💰 Cost & Performance

Typical run: 500 companies in 3 minutes for ~$2.15 (residential proxies included).

That's $0.004 per company — cheaper than paying someone to manually research one startup on Crunchbase for an hour.

Compare to manual: A human researcher would spend 15 minutes per company. At $25/hour, that's $6.25 per company. Plus you're getting stale data. Our data is refreshed weekly.

🛡️ Built Right

• Proxy rotation keeps requests clean (residential IPs, zero blocks)
• Smart rate limiting respects Crunchbase servers
• Anti-detection mimics human behavior (JavaScript rendering, cookie handling)
• Guaranteed clean JSON with validation on every field
• Error handling with automatic retries and fallbacks
• Partial failures don't kill runs — you get what's available
