Datahyena
An API that tells you the moment a company raises funding, gets acquired, or hires a new exec — clean, deduplicated data you can plug straight into a CRM instead of building your own company-tracking database.

Description
Sales, investment, and go-to-market teams all need to know the same basic thing at roughly the same moments: which companies just raised money, got acquired, or hired a new decision-maker — because those events are exactly when a company is most likely to buy something, sell itself, or need a new vendor relationship. Building and maintaining a database to track that yourself across tens of thousands of companies is a serious data engineering project on its own. Datahyena sells that database as an API: over 65,000 resolved companies and 6,000+ deduplicated investors, with funding, acquisition, and executive-move data updated within hours of an announcement and sourced with citations so you can verify where it came from.
The API supports both request-based queries and webhook streaming for real-time event notifications, plus native MCP protocol support for plugging directly into AI agent workflows. A single "company timeline" endpoint combines all three event types (funding, M&A, executive moves) for one company, and rate limits scale from 20 to 120 requests/minute depending on plan.
💬 Our review
The short version: if your sales, GTM, or investment team currently tracks funding rounds and executive changes by manually reading TechCrunch and LinkedIn, Datahyena's API turns that into a queryable, deduplicated data feed you can wire directly into your CRM or workflows.
Against building this data pipeline in-house, Datahyena is dramatically cheaper and faster — entity resolution and deduplication across tens of thousands of companies is genuinely hard engineering work that most teams shouldn't be building themselves. Against an established data provider like Crunchbase's API or PitchBook, Datahyena is priced more accessibly (credit packs starting free, versus PitchBook's enterprise-only contracts) but with a smaller company coverage (65,000 vs. Crunchbase's much larger database) and a shorter track record as a newer entrant. The founding offer's 30% lifetime discount for the first 100 customers is a real incentive to lock in early pricing if the coverage already matches your target market — but worth checking coverage of your specific vertical before committing to a paid plan. <!-- ai-generated -->
