People Dataset - Full people data on hundreds of millions of profile

Hi Product Hunt, Garry, CEO of Y Combinator, here and I’m excited to again support and help launch Crustdata (YC F24)'s newest product: Full People Dataset.
This product delivers billions of datapoints on hundreds of millions of people, refreshed monthly.

Crustdata tracks B2B people and company data. Most of Crustdata’s 200 customers (including Y Combinator!) build their platforms - whether AI SDRs, AI recruiting platforms, internal or external investment platforms - on top of Crustdata’s APIs, but for teams who need extremely high levels of volume, the Crustdata People Dataset is an alternative option.

Benefits of the Full Dataset over APIs:
-higher volume for lower cost
-lower latency
-more control over the data
Built as the infra layer for AI Agent platforms:
Access 180 million+ professional profiles
Delivered via S3 as Parquet files


Each profile includes:
Current job title
Current Company
Headline
Location
Profile photo
Past job titles, companies, durations, and descriptions
Education (university, school, degree)
Activities and societies
Skills
Bio
Licenses
Certifications

How do they do this?
They’ve developed technology that accesses the web in real time to gather information on people and companies. They unify live data and deliver it via APIs or Parquet files (full datasets).

Who is this for?


Recruiting Platforms

Use Crustdata’s full dataset product to build your tool/platform over their people data which would serve as your candidate data warehouse. You wouldn’t have to worry about getting the data yourself and spending time and manpower to keep it updated.


AI SDRs / Sales Automation platforms
Get access to tens of millions of decision makers and prospects without wasting credits with APIs. Use the dataset for bulk lead generation or for preloading your sales agent with a prospect database. See changes in monthly refreshes that can act as intent signals.
Investment platforms or teams
Get a large dataset of people to track founder movements, map leadership teams, or build internal founder databases without relying on fragmented data sources.


Anyone building a tool that uses people data


For people who need clean, up-to-date people profiles but don’t want to work with APIs or need more control over large amounts of data you can access Crustdata’s people dataset.

Such a great product! Wishing you to become the Product of the Day! 😉

This sounds like a game-changer for teams that need comprehensive and up-to-date people data! The ability to access such vast and detailed datasets with lower latency and cost is definitely going to empower a lot of platforms.

Crustdata offers a powerhouse dataset with billions of fresh monthly updates, perfect for fueling AI SDRs, recruiting platforms, or investment tools. Reliable, massive, and ready to integrate — data-driven decisions just got easier!

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 Super impressive scale. Quick question — do you offer real-time API access or is it only available as Parquet file downloads?

This dataset could be transformative for training AI sales agents! If we find outdated phone numbers or job titles in the Parquet files, does Crustdata have a feedback loop to correct errors mid-cycle, or are we solely dependent on monthly refreshes for accuracy?

📊 Crustdata's Full People Dataset offers massive scalability with structured delivery via Parquet - perfect for high-throughput AI pipelines. Monthly refresh cycles ensure temporal relevance, ideal for training AI SDRs or powering smart recruiting engines. 🔍⚡

This is super powerful. Being able to access billions of refreshed data points on hundreds of millions of people is a game-changer, especially for anyone building AI agents, SDR tools, recruiting platforms, or investment products. Love that you're delivering it in Parquet too, makes integration so much easier. Congrats on the launch.

🧠 Leveraging Crustdata’s Full People Dataset in Parquet format offers high compatibility with modern data pipelines. The scale and freshness of the data make it a solid backbone for AI personalization, predictive lead scoring, and dynamic talent sourcing. ⚙️📈
