Hey Product Hunt,
Sid here, co-founder at akta.pro. Private company data and signals API for agents, priced by consumption.
We were building AI agents for private markets and kept hitting the same two dead ends.
Legacy databases have company data, but they gate it behind a UI, charge by seat, carry no signal layer.
Search APIs return what ranks on SEO. Your agent burns tokens reading 100s of pages to find one event.
akta.pro gives an agent both sides, already structured.
Company data: 20M+ companies with 70+ fields, i.e., 2x coverage of PitchBook, 4x depth of ZoomInfo/Apollo.
Fundamentals: firmographics, management, funding history, investors, revenue and financial estimates.
The fields most databases skip: competitive moat, gtm motion, business model, tech stack, AI maturity.
News and signals: monitor a company, a sector, or a topic in plain language.
Feeds are de-duplicated, matched to the right company, and scored for impact and sentiment.
Tagged across 100+ event types like funding round, exec change, expansion etc., that work as triggers.
Alternative signals tied to the same company ID: headcount trends, web traffic, jobs, social posts, reviews.
On cost, company data runs 5x cheaper than legacy databases like PitchBook. News runs 10x cheaper than putting the same work through Claude or Parallel search APIs, where retrieval comes out of your token spend.
Used today by AI builders shipping agents, GTM teams triggering outbound, and investors screening startups.
Works as an API, over MCP, or CLI.

If you have evaluated legacy databases, news or search API providers, or GTM intent data, I am happy to do a specific comparison in the comments.
Here all day, and the critical feedback is the useful kind.

@siddhant_masson you mentioned dropping 80% of noise before a response. how are you handling entity resolution upstream to match messy news feeds to the right 20M+ company IDs without blowing up latency?
akta.pro
@mohsinproduct Resolution isn't in the query path at all; tagging happens at capture.
At ingestion, we first use fast candidate-generation and filtering layers—names, aliases, domains, locations, industry/context signals, and our company graph to reduce 20M+ entities to a very small candidate set. Only then do semantic NLP and our in-house resolution models score and disambiguate those candidates. Confidence thresholds determine whether we accept the match or run additional resolution passes. The core algorithm is built in-house and patent pending.
This keeps resolution latency manageable even at feed scale. More importantly, resolution happens at capture, not in the query path. By request time, each article is already mapped to a company ID, so serving is essentially a lookup against a pre-resolved index.
That upstream resolution is also what lets us confidently remove ~80% of irrelevant feed noise. Our recent benchmarks show 93%+ entity-mapping accuracy, ahead of frontier reasoning models on the same task: akta.pro/benchmarks
akta.pro
@mohsinproduct Building on Sid's answer from the implementation side — the latency story comes down to what scales with corpus size and what doesn't. Candidate generation is an index lookup (roughly log-time / sublinear against 20M+), so growing the corpus barely moves that step. The expensive part — semantic disambiguation — only ever runs on the small fixed-size candidate set that lookup returns, never against the full index. So end-to-end resolution time stays effectively flat as we add companies: you're adding rows to the index, not adding work per query.
@siddhant_masson Many congratulations Siddhant, Shiv, Neeraj and team! 😊
When I first met Neeraj discussing the challenges of building AI agents for private-market research. What stood out immediately was how clearly they understood the gap: traditional databases lock valuable company data behind expensive interfaces, while search APIs often return too much noise and consume excessive tokens.
Akta pro brings both sides together through a structured API: deep private-company data across 20M+ companies, enriched with 100+ real-time signals covering funding, hiring, leadership changes, partnerships, expansion, and more.
I’m endorsing it because the team has focused on the details that matter: clean entity resolution, deduplicated data, relevant signals, and consumption-based pricing. It makes private-company research faster, more intelligent, and far more useful for building automated workflows.
It’s built for AI agents, investors, and GTM teams that need actionable intelligence. Definitely worth checking out if you’re working in AI, financial research, or B2B growth. :)

@rohanrecommends thanks Rohan. Its the entity resolution for private company that took us almost 1.5 years to crack (now patent pending). Getting that right changes the game.
@siddhant_masson congrats on the launch🙌 one question where do you pull the headcount trend data from? linkedin/github or aggregated payroll data?
akta.pro
@priya_kushwaha1 We get this from LinkedIn and few aggregated data sources
@siddhant_masson The combination of private company data and real-time signals feels especially useful for building smarter GTM workflows.
akta.pro
@jacob_hernandez4 Thanks Jacob. That combination is where most GTM stacks lose time, since the company data usually comes from one vendor and the signals from another, and joining them is an engineering project nobody budgeted for.
Here both resolve to the same company IDs, so an event like a funding round or a new VP of Sales already carries the full company context with it. The trigger and the reason to reach out arrive together rather than being two lookups.
I like that this goes beyond basic company profiles. Signals around funding, hiring, and other events can add much more context.
akta.pro
Thanks @awesome_america. Exactly, profiles and firmographics are table stakes at this point, so beyond the profiles we built out signals as well, which is where we saw the real gap.
The triangulation beyond what company's website says, such as job postings, partnerships, hiring etc. is where you unlock unique intelligence.
Real-time event triggers make it actionable for developers, sellers, investors.
There are also structured fields for company assessment, GTM motion and tech capability, so you get a view on how a business actually operates and competes rather than just what it looks like on paper.
How often are company profiles updated? Private company data can change pretty quickly.
akta.pro
@yahya_rogers Good question - our refresh is field-aware and varies across 70+ fields.
Event-driven fields are updated real-time across thousands of publishers. Funding rounds, transactions and leadership changes get picked up by the real-time news pipeline as the event breaks, then reconciled onto the company profile
Alternative signals run closest to live. Job posts and web traffic are near real time. Headcount updates monthly, since it's only meaningful read as a trend rather than a point-in-time number
Stable firmographics like legal name, company type, founded year and industry codes run on verification cycles that are dynamically scheduled rather than fixed. How often a company gets re-checked depends on its size, news volume, website updates and overall activity, so the ones actually moving get looked at more often than the ones sitting still.
Happy to go deeper on any specific field if there's one you care about.
I enjoy seeing tools that improve private market research. I would ask how akta.pro manages global coverage since company information varies widely across regions and markets.
akta.pro
@darly_selby Fair question, and the short answer is that coverage varies by layer rather than by region. The 20M+ is genuinely global, not a US core with a thin tail attached. Fundamentals like firmographics, location and industry classification hold up across the board. And that's one of the advantages of having a purely agentic data extraction and synthesis
Transaction detail is where variation shows up. Funding and M&A depend on how actively a market reports, so it's really a long-tail effect rather than a regional one. A quiet company in the US looks much like a quiet company anywhere else.
The qualitative layer is the most consistent globally. Business model, moat, positioning and GTM motion come from how a company operates rather than what it chooses to disclose, so they don't depend on local reporting norms.
In fact, we also have a company addition endpoint, through which in the off chance that you don't find a company, you can add it live

@rukhsar_amjad Thanks! Pay-as-you-go is the default.
You top up a balance and spend credits per call, no monthly commitment, no seats, so cost scales purely with consumption. MCP and CLI access are included from this tier rather than gated behind an enterprise plan, so you can wire it into Claude, Cursor or your own agent from day one.
We also have Subscription and Enterprise tiers depending on usage and rate limit requirements, custom schemas, bulk export, etc.

Can users define their own triggers or signals based on the type of companies they’re tracking?
akta.pro
@dustin_warren Yes, that's the intended way to use it. Filtering happens at the query, so you define what counts as a signal rather than picking from preset alert types.
You can filter across a 70+ category news taxonomy, plus IAB and IPTC codes, and scope it to whatever set of companies you're tracking. So a fintech watchlist filtered to funding and leadership changes, and a separate one for competitors filtered to product launches, are just two different queries against the same endpoint rather than two different products.
Polling frequency is yours to set, and credits are only charged on news actually returned. Empty polls cost nothing, so you can run a tight loop on the things that matter without paying for quiet periods.
Webhooks for signal alerts are on the roadmap, which will remove the polling step entirely.
More data can also create more noise. How do you help users focus on the signals that actually matter?
akta.pro
Hey @evan_taft1 , completely agree, and it is the exact problem that shaped how the feed was built. More volume only helps if the processing keeps pace, so the filtering happens before delivery rather than being left to whoever consumes the feed.
Every article entering the akta.pro pipeline is entity-resolved so every company mention collapses to a single stable identifier across parents, subsidiaries, and namesakes, then scored for impact and sentiment and tagged against an 80+ event taxonomy alongside industry codes. Deduplication and the rest of the filters are configurable, so the feed can be tuned to return one clean signal per event or narrowed by impact level, sentiment, event category, entity like event, person, product or geography.
Feed definition handles the rest, whether that is a company resolved across 20M+ entities, an industry selected across 30,000+ sub-sectors, or a custom topic turned into a structured feed. The signal space ends up defined by the question being asked, which keeps the irrelevant volume out by design.
