Application forms collect self-reported claims nobody verifies. Enrich every applicant with live headcount, funding, and growth data before selecting applicants.
Your review committee opens the spreadsheet and every row has verified data.
| Today | With Crustdata |
|---|---|
| Applicants self-report headcount, funding, and revenue | Enrich every applicant company with live headcount, funding history, and growth rates |
| Reviewers score forms without cross-referencing any external source | Each application row includes verified datapoints from 15+ sources alongside the self-reported answers |
| Manual spot-checks cover maybe 10% of submissions | Every applicant gets enriched automatically, one API call per company |
| You discover mismatches during the event, not before | Discrepancies between claimed and actual data surface before the review meeting |
Pass an applicant's company domain or name. The API returns live headcount, funding history, growth trajectory, web traffic, and hiring activity.
1 credit per company. Company Enrichment API docs
Define your ideal applicant by headcount range, funding stage, industry, growth rate, and geography. The API returns every company that matches.
1 credit per 100 results. Company Search API docs
Discrepancies are flagged before anyone scores a single application.
Pass the company domain from the application form to the Company Enrichment API. Domain matching is the most reliable identifier. If you only have a company name, the Company Identification API resolves it to a canonical record at no credit cost.
Crustdata covers 60M+ companies. Early-stage startups with a domain and public presence will return data. For very new companies with no web footprint, the API returns a not_found status so you know to flag the application for manual review.
Company enrichment is 1 credit per company. Enriching 500 applicants costs 500 credits. Most event teams spend under $200 per application cycle.
Yes. Save your enrichment query and run it each cycle. The Company Search API also lets you build a standing query for your ideal applicant profile, so you can compare new applicants against a live benchmark each time.
