StartupHub.ai

Search the startup database with any combination of filters: name, sector, country, city radius, founded date, team size, the latest funding round (round_series, raised_after), total funding, valuation, investors (backed_by), StartupHub score, Agent Readiness score, tech stack, website state, stealth status and known founder emails. Each result includes the latest round (last_round_series, last_round_date), sectors, HQ, founded date and score; paid plans add funding totals, headcount and more. Example: round_series=Seed, raised_after=2026-10-01, sort=last_round_date.desc for companies that just raised a seed round. Returns up to 100 per call (1 db credit); page with offset. Pairs with list_startup_team and discover_email to turn each result into a contactable lead. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Convenience wrapper around search_startups pre-tuned for fresh-stealth deal-flow. Always sends stealth=true and sort=founded_date.desc; those two cannot be changed here. Returns stealth startups with their detected tech stack (CDN, email provider, analytics), RDAP domain registration date, and a has_known_emails flag indicating whether at least one founder/team email has been verified. Inputs: domain_tld (default 'ai,io,so,xyz,security'), with_emails (default true, which sends has_known_emails=true; pass false to drop that filter), founded_after, country, cdn, email_provider, limit (default 20, max 100). There is no offset; use search_startups with stealth=true to page further. Pro Lite tier and higher only (Free tier 403s). Pro Lite sees redacted emails; Pro tier sees full. Combine with list_startup_team and discover_email to surface the actual addresses. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Domain radar: newly registered names from our discovery queue (NRD, registries, GitHub orgs). This is NOT a company profile. Returns apex, registration date, registrar, mailbox signal, quality score, and status (queued / quality_failed). startup_slug is set only after we promote a real homepage into the directory. Always sorted newest first (created_at desc). Use search_startups for companies. Pro Lite and higher. 1 db credit. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Get full profile for a startup by slug Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Look up a single startup by its website domain. Accepts raw URLs (https://www.example.com/about), stripped (example.com), with or without paths. Returns the full profile. Use match_companies_by_domain instead for batches of 2+ domains. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Tech Stack Checker. Return hosting, frameworks, analytics, payments, and mail setup for a company website. Checks a stored fingerprint first, then a fresh live read when live=true. Accepts a URL or a plain domain. Costs 1 credit. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Lightweight endpoint that returns ONLY a startup's contact emails (contact / partnerships / press) and social URLs (LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub, Facebook, YouTube, Discord, Slack, etc.) plus HQ city/country. Cheaper than get_startup (1 db credit vs 1 profile credit) when you don't need the full row. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Reverse-lookup a person profile by their email address. Pairs naturally with discover_email + validate_email: discover an email, verify it, find the person record. Returns the full person profile. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Reverse-lookup a person profile by any of their social URLs/handles. Pass linkedin, twitter, or github (full URL like https://www.linkedin.com/in/foo, OR just the handle 'foo'). Multiple params allowed: first match wins. Returns the full person profile + which platform matched. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Look up a single investor (VC, angel, accelerator) by their website domain. Same shape as get_startup_by_domain, against the investors table. Useful when you have a fund's website and want fund profile / portfolio info. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Reverse-lookup an investor profile by their LinkedIn or Twitter URL/handle. Investor LinkedIns are typically /company/<slug>, but the lookup handles both /in/ and /company/ patterns. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Full chronological list of investment rounds for a startup: amount, series, date, pre/post-money valuation, lead and participating investor IDs, plus a summary with total raised from rounds and the latest round date/series. Use after get_startup if you need round-by-round detail rather than just total_funding. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Returns founders, current team, and board members for a startup, split by role. Each person record includes name, title, slug, LinkedIn, Twitter, description, and primary_email if visible to your plan tier. Use this to build org-charts, identify decision-makers for outreach, or enrich a startup record with its known people. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

One-call CRM/inbox enrichment. Pass an email, get back: the best available name and its source, the person's public Gravatar profile when they have one (name, title, company, location, verified social accounts), the domain's mail provider, matched person record (if known), the email's domain matched against startups + investors (with funding intel for VC-backed scoring), a heuristic name guess from the local part if person is unknown, and a flag for free email providers (gmail/outlook/etc) so you can skip company matching on consumer addresses. The killer endpoint for HubSpot/Salesforce auto-enrichment, Gmail/Outlook plugins, and lead-scoring pipelines. 1 profile credit (cheaper than chaining get_person_by_email + get_startup_by_domain + get_investor_by_domain separately). Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Find investors that match a startup's profile. Filter by sector_focus (e.g. 'Artificial Intelligence' for AI investors), stage_focus (Seed / Series A / etc.), geo_focus, cheque_min / cheque_max (matches investors whose cheque-size window overlaps the founder's raise), active_since (investors whose latest investment is on or after this date, to surface who has deployed capital recently), min_recent_rounds_90d (activity threshold), and actively_investing. Sort whitelist: total_score, last_investment_date, recent_rounds_90d, recent_lead_rounds_90d, total_funds_raised, min_cheque_size, max_cheque_size, last_mentioned_at, created_at. For example sort='last_investment_date.desc' surfaces the most recently active funds first. Page with offset. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Search founders, executives, board members, and key team members. Results are sorted by StartupHub score, highest first. Page with offset. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Find square and horizontal logos for a company

Build a company profile from a name and optional website or LinkedIn URL. Returns the description, sector, headquarters, founding year, and public links that were found. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Verify if a single email address is real and deliverable. Returns {valid, status, confidence_score}. Use when you already know the address (e.g. from a contact page, LinkedIn, or a prior discover_email run) and want to confirm it before sending. To go from a person's name → verified email instead, use discover_email: that already runs validation internally on every candidate, so don't call validate_email on its output.

Find a real, deliverable professional email for a person at a company. Pass first name + last name + the company domain; get back the verified address, a confidence score, and a short note about who it likely reaches. Charges 1 credit only when an address is found. May take a moment on first call — if the response comes back with no matches, call this tool again with the same args and the answer typically returns instantly. Pairs naturally with scan_agent_readiness for outbound prospecting: scan a prospect's site for a 0-100 AI-readiness score, find the owner via web search, then call this tool for the verified email — the readiness gaps become the outreach hook.

Bulk-match an array of advertiser/company domains against StartupHub.ai's startup database. Returns per-domain whether the company is in our database, plus funding amount, latest round, investor IDs, sectors, founded date, and HQ country. Built for cross-reference workflows like 'what % of Google Ads / Taboola / Outbrain advertisers are VC-backed': pass a scraped advertiser list, get back the funding intel. Up to 100 domains per call, 1 db credit per request (only charged when matches found). Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Get credit pack pricing AND a checkout URL the user can open to buy more credits. Returns { buy_url: 'https://www.startuphub.ai/pricing?buy=credits', pricing: { validate: [...tiers], discover: [...tiers] } }: surface the buy_url to the user when they hit a 402 'credit_limit_exceeded' error or ask 'how do I get more credits'. There is no in-MCP purchase flow (Stripe checkout requires a browser); your job is to show the price tiers and hand them the buy_url. Credits never expire and volume discounts auto-apply.

Check the user's current credit balance: plan tier, daily + monthly limits per credit type (validate, discover, db, profile, logo, enrich, submit), used today, remaining today, used this month, remaining this month, and any never-expiring credit pack balance. Free to call (does NOT charge a credit): call before any expensive batch (e.g. 100x discover_email) so the user knows whether they need to top up first. If they're low or ask to buy more, follow up with list_credit_packs to get pricing + a checkout URL. Requires Bearer auth; anonymous callers get a 401 with a signup link. Needs a free StartupHub.ai account.

Scans a public site against current AI-agent readiness standards, including the llms.txt v2 shape (H1, summary, described links, and whether those links resolve). Returns a 0-100 score plus per-check pass/fail with a copy-paste fix prompt for each gap. A link to startuphub.ai in llms.txt or on the homepage is an 8-point bonus and is not required. Free, no credits charged. Common workflow: when a user wants leads who *need* AI-readiness work, search the web for businesses in a category/region, scan each site, then use discover_email on the lowest-scoring ones: the failed checks are the cold-outreach hook ('your site scores 23/100, here's what's missing'). Also useful as a self-audit for the user's own sites.

Get a structured, real-time snapshot of what's happening in the AI startup ecosystem right now — capital deployed this week, top sectors and countries (with week-over-week change), biggest rounds, stage breakdown with median check sizes, emerging themes (3+ companies clustering on the same narrow problem), most active investors, and exits. Sourced from StartupHub.ai's database (25k+ startups, 24k+ funding rounds). Use this when a user asks what's trending in AI/startups, to build an investment thesis, to spot rotations, or for weekly-digest-style summaries. Free tool — no API key needed. Returns structured JSON the caller can format into tables, charts, or narrative.

Answer how much funding was raised, how many rounds closed, or how many companies were founded, for a country, sector, series, and year. This is the StartupHub /analysis chart as data. Use it for questions like 'how much funding did Canadian startups raise in 2026'. dataset=rounds (default) is announced round capital in that year. dataset=startups is companies founded that year, and the dollar total is what those companies have raised to date, not capital raised during the year. dataset=funds is fund closes. dataset=investors counts firms founded, with no dollar total. country is a full English name: Canada, United States, United Kingdom. group=sector or group=country returns a breakdown. Free, no API key. Returns the count, total USD, a chart URL, and the periods or categories behind the total.

Returns the same real-world events priced on Polymarket, Kalshi/Robinhood, and PredictIt side by side, with a real arbitrage flagged whenever the combined cost of locking a $1 payout drops under $1 (is_arbitrage=true, with roi_pct + profit_per_dollar). Each opportunity carries both legs (venue, price, direct trade URL), the combined cost, and when the arb last opened. Refreshed every 30 minutes. Free tool, no API key. Pass arbs_only=true to return only the live arbitrages. Built for trading agents that poll for tradeable spreads: informational only, verify each market's exact resolution rules, fees, and withdrawal terms before trading.

Prompt → curated startup list. Pass a natural-language brief like 'stealth AI agent startups in Israel founded after 2024' and the engine runs a Google-grounded search, parses results, finds-or-creates the matching startup rows in StartupHub.ai's database, and returns up to 50 startup IDs. Caller can then hand those IDs to a separate /lists/submit call to publish the list as a public, indexed page. Useful workflows: (1) build a portfolio-style page from a prompt without manual curation, (2) extract a list of companies from raw text (paste a YC batch page, a16z portfolio, CSV: set 'pasted_list' instead of 'prompt'), (3) regularly refresh a 'who's new in X sector' list via cron. Each call costs 5 credits (Pro Lite=15/day, Pro=50/day). Returns the matched startups (id/name/slug/logo) plus a 'created' count showing how many were brand new in our DB.
