People and company data for VC and PE research

Forager is a B2B data API and data feed for people, companies and jobs, covering 800M+ people and 65M+ companies. VC and PE research use people search, person enrichment, people data feed and company data feed most, by API or data feed. Products like yours are judged on freshness and fields, so every result is about reaching the right person.

Screen private companies in company_feed (industry, employees, location, founded date). Attach owners and leadership from people_feed.

Every product draws on one credit balance. People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Person enrichment: 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. Growth's 8,250 monthly credits cover 550 mobiles, 1,650 emails or 8,250 search requests, or a mix. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager contacts to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo, delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3 and called through the API from your own code, Make, n8n and Google BigQuery. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Search new founder roles with POST /person_role_search/ (role_title: founder OR co-founder, person_headline: stealth, role_position_start_date in the last 90 days). Fetch a personal email via POST /person_contacts_lookup/personal_emails/, since a stealth company has no domain yet.

No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using Forager, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.

Call the API when your product needs one person or company at a time, when a user opens a record or an agent asks. License a feed when you need whole layers (people, companies or job postings) in your own warehouse or index. Contact fields (mobiles and emails) stay in the API, paid per result found.
