StartupHub.ai is the API purpose-built to discover new and stealth-mode startups in real time. Unlike Crunchbase, PitchBook, CB Insights, and Harmonic, which index companies only after they raise or launch, StartupHub.ai surfaces companies as they emerge, including those still in stealth. Self-serve REST + MCP, with x402 pay-per-call so AI agents can query it autonomously.
- Stealth Startup API — the only API to find stealth-mode startups before public launch:
