My favorite marketing emails right now are from @crustdata They sell enrichment, but their emails are about hiring and turnover in AI labs They're a fun read, and build confidence in the product without selling it directly (@tryramp and @grid_status do very similar!)

Funny how good AEO is just good SEO. I dont understand how there are companies valued at hundreds of millions of dollars just for tracking prompts. VC game is crazy. There's so much money to go around. You just need to build something...

Its crazy how Claude went from the darling of the AI world to everyone hating on them for their quality reduction and lying about it in just a couple months. Testing out Claude today for a major workflow. Hope the quality is back to normal...

We are a 2-person marketing team. Neither of us have written a line of code in our lives. Last week we built, marketed, and shipped a new tool using the @crustdata API. And we hit #4 on Product Hunt. We came 2 votes short of beating Gemini for #3!

If you're a B2B company, you need to figure out how to get your brand more visibility in Claude. ChatGPT went from 43% of our AI-sourced qualified leads in September to 3% in March. Claude went from 4% to 43%. The tech claude bubble is real lol.

I built a free tool that lets you find employees who leave a company. Set a role, a date range, and a company and you'll get a clean CSV file of everyone who left that fits your criteria. Built using @crustdata people data APIs

These are the top 8 most followed companies headquartered in Bengaluru. I used @crustdata's API to identify companies with their HQ located in Bengaluru and ranked them by total LinkedIn followers. Very interesting to see the close race between Wipro and Infosys 👀

8 Indian-born CEOs are now leading companies with a combined market capitalization of over $8.9 trillion. If you were born here, this should inspire you to think bigger about what’s possible. How many more are just getting started right now?

Sales gold right here
stop attacking competitors in sales calls a useful sales advice we got during YC was to ask this question if a prospect mentions their current provider: “what would you rate them out of 10?” if they respond with 8, follow up with “that’s pretty high, what would need to change exactly to make it a 9?” they will start listing the gaps they currently have with your competitor, and you should take over from that point , not before this question

One reason that Cal AI is one of the fastest growing apps might be this: They are shipping more updates than the entire category. We looked at the number of iOS updates published between Aug 1 and Nov 18 and there was a clear winner. Congrats to the entire team @zach_yadegari @blakeandersonw @henrylangmack @jakecastilloooo Super impressive pace 👏

Today we’re announcing $6M seed funding for Crustdata, led by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, SV Angel and A.Capital to power AI agents with real-time B2B data. We started @crustdata 1.5 years ago to build data specifically for AI agents. Now, 200 AI agents and products in sales, recruiting, and investing are being powered by our data APIs, including Ryan Reynolds’ MNTN, Dharmesh Shah’s Agent.ai, and YC. When we started Crustdata, the realization was simple: AI agents cannot run on data that was designed for humans - monthly/quarterly updates, clunky schemas and low throughput APIs. They need fresh, structured, verifiable data on demand. So, we built the data provider for AI agents: multi-source, real-time, API-first access to company & people data shipped as agent-ready products (watchers, real-time enrichment, live search). We’re hiring engineers and expanding GTM. Come build the data layer agents rely on: crustdata.com/careers Huge thanks to our team, customers, and investors and to my co-founders @TheChowdhary and @ManmohitG

Congrats to @chrispisarski, @thechowdhary, @manmohitg, and @crustdata on their $6M seed! Crustdata is building real-time B2B data APIs to power AI sales, recruiting, and investment agents. While traditional databases provide outdated data and aren’t built for signal-driven workflows, Crustdata’s real-time enrichment and live signals position them to solve the data needs of AI agents. In just over a year, they are powering 200 AI agent platforms and products, including top AI SDRs, recruiting platforms, teams at several of the top 10 VC firms by AUM, internal sales products at enterprises, and even an internal YC product. crustdata.com/blog/crustdata…

Reddit is so hype rn. I wonder what will happen to all the partnership deals they have signed/will sign when marketers start flooding the subreddits. Surely they have a plan to stop the incoming mountain of spam?
