Crustdata is positioning itself as the real-time people and company data layer for GTM engineers and agents that need fresh records through API or MCP. Practitioner conversation is practical and workflow-heavy. Teams use it to identify buying committees, build advertising audiences, enrich location and employment data, support recruiting agents, and compare provider accuracy on specific fields. The discussion also reflects a modular data-stack mindset, with Crustdata selected for the attributes it handles well and paired with other providers where needed. That makes its current presence builder-led and grounded in programmatic enrichment work.

Business Profile
Crustdata was founded in 2023 and later joined Y Combinator's Fall 2024 batch, building a real-time people and company data API with a native MCP server for AI agents. It raised a $6 million seed round in 2025, with Y Combinator among the participants, and has since grown to roughly 33 employees. The company describes rapid customer growth since founding and points to an intern-to-full-time hiring pipeline as its main recruiting channel. It remains independent, with customers including Y Combinator, MNTN, Appsmith, agent.ai, Scalis and Scend.
Agent Readiness
Measures how easily your agents can build on it — API, MCP, CLI, SDK, docs depth. Methodology →
Crustdata built agent access in from the start: a REST API alongside a native MCP server that lets an agent query fresh people and company data mid-task instead of working from a stored export. Practitioners are already wiring that MCP server into multi-step agent workflows: ICP scoping, persona enrichment, buying-committee mapping. Recruiting-focused Claude Skills have been built on top of it too. The build-out reads agent-first rather than agent-adapted.
