Hey Product Hunt! ✌️ I’m excited to support an exciting company in our current YC F24 batch. The company is Crustdata. Their mission is simple - make sales, investment, and recruiting processes intelligent and automated -- with the freshest, most accurate data possible. Use live data and webhooks to monitor people and companies so you see any changes that happen – and be notified live so you can act. Never miss an opportunity to close a customer, sign a deal, or make a hire again. — Why did they build this? They realized that with the advent of AI, companies and investment firms are capitalizing by building their own internal systems that supercharge their recruiting, sales, and investment processes. However, the missing link in these endeavors is fresh, reliable, accurate B2B data. Data for these systems needs to be flexible, reliable, live, and accurate, but most data platforms source from unreliable, poorly maintained 3rd party sources. And the data is plainly inaccurate and out of date – fairly useless. Problem: it’s an incredible technology challenge to get fresh, accurate data at scale. What do they do? They built dedicated data pipelines that pull in data directly from primary sources to give users real-time headcount data, people change data, funding data, website traffic, product review data, etc. They have web-hooks that allow you to “watch” selected companies and people for predefined events like Company grows or declines in headcount, Company announces or closes funding round, Person changes jobs, Company or Person makes a post – and be notified instantly. This empowers you to upgrade all your processes so that you never miss another opportunity. Who is Crustdata? They are a team of dedicated engineers with big tech and startup experience that have developed deep expertise in data. Who is it for and how does Crustdata help? 1. B2B Sales & marketing teams - live data makes sure you are reaching out to the right person at the right time. Customer success teams - keep an eye on your customers. 2. AI SDR companies - fresh, primary source data so your SDRs can act on live signals. 3. Growth equity investors - use their data to power in-house data stacks and models for deal sourcing. 4. Recruiting companies and platforms - live data to “watch” companies and candidates for job postings, hires, departures, headline changes, and job chances.

Finally, a data solution that actually makes sense for modern B2B needs! Been burned too many times by outdated contact lists and missed opportunities because of stale data. Love that Crustdata is pulling directly from primary sources instead of recycling the same old third-party data everyone else uses. The webhook feature for tracking company changes is particularly clever - would've saved me countless hours of manual monitoring in my last growth role. Curious about their coverage in smaller markets though, but definitely worth checking out if you're doing any serious B2B prospecting or recruiting. 📊

This looks very promising! Great Work!

Congrats on the launch team ! Is this intended to be operated alongside tools like Zoominfo to ensure more accuracy?

The ability to find event-based data in real-time is unique and useful. Congrats on the new launch, Abhilash and Manmohit. :)

Congratulations on the launch 🎉️ Looks like Sales Nav on steroids. Would love to try it.

The enrichment feature sounds super useful. What kind of information can we expect to get when enriching company profiles?

I use Crustdata! It's honestly a game changer. I recommend this to everyone I meet who uses this data. Years ago I built these systems from scratch for business intelligence and monitoring. The problem space always changes and the systems are always brittle, inconsistent, and cause all sorts of unintended downstream effects of not executed well. Crustdata has saved us the headache, money, and time of rebuilding these tools again and managing them in-house. It frees us up for the work that matters most. Thank you Abhilash, Chris, Manmohit, and the rest of the team for all that you do!

This is cool! I'm currently using a few other services (Proxycurl, Exa, Hunter, others) and stitching them together to achieve something similar. Is there any information on pricing, especially for API use?

This is super impressive! Real-time data on people and companies is a game-changer for anyone working in sales, recruiting, or market research. Being able to get updates on key events like job changes, promotions, and new skills adds a whole new level of insight. Can't wait to see how this will streamline lead generation and relationship-building. Great work to the team—excited to try this out!

My company is a customer of Crustdata and we couldn't be more happy with the quality and service we've received. There's truly no other good solution for this type of data, and we're super excited as Crustdata grows and keeps adding more
