Claude for VCs

Codify your thesis with Claude

Crustdata is the live data layer for your fund. Tell Claude how you invest, and it runs your thesis against live people and company data, surfacing the founders, companies, and signals that give you an edge. Work in Claude, or build it into your own dashboard.

15+

Indexed from the public web, across 15+ live sources.

1B+

1B+ people and 60M+ companies, with GitHub, school, and full history.

API + MCP

Use it in Claude, or build on the API and MCP your own way.

This is for you if

โœ“

You invest early and want to find founders before they announce

โœ“

You track a portfolio and want live signals on how your companies are doing

โœ“

You want to time your move and reach a company when the moment is right

โœ“

You would rather build your own view on the data than rent someone's dashboard

The tools were built for a different job

โ—‡

The problem

The incumbents were built for a different job, funding data mapped to companies that already exist and locked in a frontend. They all notice the founder after everyone else already has, and none is the raw, live data layer you can shape to your thesis.

What you can do with it

Source founders early

Catch the founder the week a title changes to stealth, from the signals a database misses, a headline change, a new repo, a paper, a post. Reach them before other investors do.

Track your portfolio

Watch your companies on live data. Headcount and hiring, a key departure, a new round, the growth curve, in one place and updated as it happens.

Time your move

Set the signal that says a company is ready, and it tells you when the moment arrives, so you reach out at the right time.

Map your network, catch spinouts

Find who in your network can make the warm intro. Watch the teams you respect and catch the person the moment they leave to start something.

Crustdata is the live data underneath

Claude brings the reasoning. Crustdata brings the data that makes it work. On its own, Claude cannot see live people and company data

โœ“ 1B+ people and 60M+ companies from 15+ live sources, indexed from the public web, each person with their GitHub, school, and full work history.

โœ“ It reads the signal at the source, a title changed to founder, a company with no name yet, an engineer who just left a top lab, so you catch the change early.

โœ“ Resolved into one record when you ask, so the picture holds together instead of conflicting across tools.

Build it your way

Two ways to run it, the same live data underneath. The interface is yours to choose. The live index across 15+ sources is the part you cannot build or keep alive on your own.

Your edge stays yours

If every fund can buy the same database, the edge is what you do with it.

Your thesis

The criteria and the odd signals only your firm looks for, encoded once and run on demand.

Your data

Your CRM, your notes, your network feed a search no one else can run. We don't keep any of your data.

Your search, private

Search on-demand and it's never shared on a platform where rival funds see the same names and get the same alerts.
