### About Crustdata The way information on the internet is consumed is changing - from humans searching pre-crawled pages to AI agents doing real-time targeted crawling from sources of truth. But there's no "Google" for AI agents... yet. At Crustdata, we're building that. We serve 300 customers and we're growing fast. Backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, SV Angel, A Capital, and Liquid 2 Ventures. Our mission: be the default way AI agents interface with the internet.
