Parsagon - Real-time fundraising data for cheaper

Hi YC! We’re excited to announce that Parsagon is offering real-time fundraising data similar to Crunchbase or Pitchbook, but for cheaper!

😠The Problem:

Collecting data on private companies is difficult and expensive, and as a result, if you want an API for fundraising data from Crunchbase or Pitchbook, you typically need to pay thousands of dollars per month.

😃The Solution:

Parsagon’s AI is now capable of auto-generating the scrapers and parsers needed to collect fundraising data, which allows us to offer the same data for much cheaper! To start, we’re offering a real-time data feed starting at $50 per month! You can use our API to monitor fundraising deals related to a given company, investor, industry, etc., and receive real-time data that looks something like this:

[
  {
    "id": 156,
    "date": "2024-02-27",
    "round": "Series B",
    "amount_raised": 43000000,
    "valuation": 500000000,
    "valuation_type": "Post-money",
    "currency": "USD",
    "org": {
      "id": 687,
      "name": "Photoroom",
      "website": "https://www.photoroom.com"
    },
    "investors": [
      {
        "org": {
          "id": 443,
          "name": "Balderton",
          "website": "https://www.balderton.com"
        },
        "is_lead": true
      },
      {
        "org": {
          "id": 688,
          "name": "Aglae",
          "website": "https://aglaeventures.com"
        },
        "is_lead": true
      },
      {
        "org": {
          "id": 689,
          "name": "YCombinator",
          "website": "https://www.ycombinator.com"
        },
        "is_lead": false
      }
    ],
    ...
  },
  ...
]

We’re also collecting historical fundraising data as well! Extensive coverage on that front will take some time, but we’re currently collecting historical data on demand. For example, one financial firm gave us a list of 1,000 companies on which they wanted historical data, and we were able to add that data to our API within a few days for a fraction of what it would cost from Pitchbook.

How you can help:

• If you want to try out the API, email us at founders@parsagon.io
• Do you know a VC or other financial firm that would be interested? Feel free to reach out to us at founders@parsagon.io
• Not what the data you were trying to track? Reach out anyway! Our AI generated everything needed to get the data above in about two weeks, and it might be able to handle your use case just as easily!
