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:
