Venture Capital

Build a deal sourcing tool to find breakout companies.

ARR tells you where a company has been. Crustdata's APIs surface the signals that tell you where it's going - hiring velocity, team expansion, web traffic surges, so your team can be proactive

Why Leading Growth Equity Firms Are Building Pipeline Intelligence Internally

The problem

Our solution

Shared platforms = shared pipeline. Every fund running the same PitchBook screen sees the same companies at the same time. You can't build a proprietary edge on shared infrastructure.

Crustdata gives you the raw data layer so you build your own filters, your own scoring, your own alerts. Your thesis becomes your moat, not someone else's feature.

ARR is a lagging indicator. By the time revenue growth shows up, every fund is already competing for the same deal.

Our APIs surface leading indicators - hiring spikes, traffic surges, executive hires, geographic expansion - the data that predicts ARR inflection weeks or months before the numbers catch up.

Quarterly screens miss the growth window. Companies graduate past your sweet spot while associates manually track spreadsheets and public databases.

Our Watcher API turns your thesis into a living system. Codify your criteria once and get alerted the moment any company in your universe crosses your threshold.

In-house data pipelines drain engineering resources. Teams spend months building scrapers that break constantly instead of building the logic that creates edge.

We maintain the data infrastructure across 10+ sources so your engineers build the intelligence layer like scoring models, CRM integrations, alert routing instead of raw data collection.

Your competitive advantage,
powered by Crustdata

Your edge isn't the data, it's what you build on top of it. Crustdata is the data layer growth equity firms use to programmatically express their thesis.
