Collected from publicly available data.
A combination of signals: title changes to Stealth, Founder or Building Something New; departures from notable companies without a named next role; first hires at unnamed or newly incorporated companies; and social posts that come before a public launch. Save that query, have your agent re-run it weekly and review only the new names. Profiles are refreshed every 30 days.
Yes. Profiles carry prior-founding signals: companies founded, exit status and the acquirer when public. Save a query for operators with at least one prior exit who recently left their role, and re-run it on a schedule.
Yes. REST for calls from your platform or scheduled jobs that load results into Snowflake, BigQuery or Postgres, and MCP to expose the data to Claude or an internal copilot. Most funds use both.
A weekly stealth-founder query posted to Slack; repeat-founder saved searches that surface exited operators leaving their post-acquisition role; portfolio queries loaded into Snowflake or Postgres; and analyst agents pulling founder pedigrees when they need them.
Sourcing platforms impose their taxonomy and show the same deals to every customer. Your edge is the thesis, the filter logic and the timing, and those belong in your own tool. We are the data layer underneath.
