I Built a Free Alternative to ZoomInfo's API for AI Agents

If you've ever tried to add real-time business intelligence to an AI agent, you've probably hit the same wall I did: enterprise APIs cost a fortune and aren't designed for the way developers actually build today. ZoomInfo: $15K-30K/year, requires a sales call to even see pricing. Crunchbase Enterprise API: $10K+/year, rate limits that don't work for agents. PitchBook: $20K+/year, gated behind institutional access. I needed something different. A developer-first API that gives AI agents access to real-time business events -- funding rounds, acquisitions, executive hires, contracts -- with actual AI scoring on top. And ideally, a free tier that's actually useful. So we built FundzWatch. What it does FundzWatch has analyzed millions of business events going back to 2017. The API returns structured JSON for: Funding rounds -- amount, stage, investors, date Acquisitions -- acquirer, target, terms Executive moves -- person, role, company Government contracts -- agency, value, awardee Product
