Y Combinator
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.

@garrytan Huge. Crustdata is doing the hard work so others can build smarter tools faster. Love how this flips the usual API-first model — full control, low latency, and built for scale. Feels like real infra for the next wave of AI-native products.
