Everyone says data is a moat, yet most teams get it wrong by chasing more of it instead of the data no one else can recreate. In this conversation with Chief Product Officer Ketaki Rao, you'll learn how to identify the proprietary data inside your product, build the flywheels that make it compound, and determine where AI actually fits in your workflow versus where it never should. 🎧 Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/gyikP_sT

Deep company research requires a clear view of private markets. Funding history, investor relationships, and acquisition data provide the context to move from discovery to informed decisions. 🎉 Crunchbase is joining the TinyFish Data Partner Alliance as a founding member to bring trusted private market intelligence to the agents doing this work. Together, we’re helping builders power research, enrichment, and diligence workflows with reliable private company data. Learn more in TinyFish’s announcement below.
AI agents are now the biggest users of the web. They run on TinyFish, so we see what they reach for. Most of it is the live web, and they already get that from us. But some of it was never published. It's licensed: market feeds, court records, company intelligence, verified identity, sold by contract to people. Today, with 15 of those companies companies, we're launching the TinyFish Data Partners Alliance. Our founding cohort: Similarweb, Crunchbase, Enigma Technologies, Inc., Databento, RocketReach, Trellis Law, Baselayer, Tracxn, Particle, OpenAlex, Faraday, Fiber AI (YC S23), Jinko (YC F26), Alpha Vantage Inc., Intellizence, Inc. The best data, curated by category, for the agents running on TinyFish. If your data belongs here, the door is open. https://lnkd.in/ggPsxXeA

Our CEO on our partnership with OpenAI, and why the combination of trusted data and frontier AI changes what's possible in financial research.
OpenAI’s technology is changing what’s possible in research. Work that once required hours of searching, reading, and synthesis can increasingly begin with a question and become a structured analysis in minutes. But financial research has a constraint that better reasoning alone cannot solve: some of the most consequential information isn’t reliably available on the public web. Private-company funding histories, investor relationships, and acquisition activity are often fragmented, difficult to verify, or missing altogether. AI cannot reason over information it cannot access, and in finance, missing context can materially change a conclusion. The next leap in financial research won’t come from better models or better data in isolation. It will come from bringing the two together. That’s why I’m excited that Crunchbase’s structured private-company data is now built into ChatGPT for Financial Services through our partnership with OpenAI. Financial professionals can bring trusted private-market context together with public filings, firm research, and other financial sources within the environment where they’re already asking questions and developing their analysis. The result isn’t just faster research. It’s a more complete and inspectable foundation for making decisions. Frontier AI expands what financial professionals can do. Trusted, differentiated data expands what that AI can know. Together, they can make private markets easier to understand and better decisions possible.
