Harmonic vs Selva

Harmonic is a startup intelligence database for following companies and people as they grow, hire, raise funds, launch products, or change direction. Its Console and Bulk Data offerings list 40 million companies, 200 million people, and 250 thousand investors. Harmonic says it combines legal filings with dozens of public sources and refreshes the information regularly. Scout lets users ask questions about startups or schedule AI agents to find, evaluate, and monitor companies, people, deals, and markets. Network Mapping connects LinkedIn relationships, email and calendar events, and CRM engagements with companies and operators in the database. The maker positions Harmonic for venture capital, growth capital, corporate innovation, and go-to-market prospect discovery. It offers REST and GraphQL APIs, MCP connectivity, and bulk delivery through S3, BigQuery, or Snowflake. Integrations include Slack alerts, Google accounts, Affinity, LinkedIn connections, Polytomic, and Zapier. Console, API, and Bulk Data prices are available on request. Scout includes up to $750 of credits per user each month, and the Scout API has a $250 free credit allowance.

Selva is a web-based map of Latin American startups, investors, and funding activity, combining public information, source links, and market summaries. Its listed coverage includes 4,374 startups, 4,662 investors, and 21 markets, alongside 4,479 company records. Selva says it uses 37 sources, parses articles in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and links funding rounds to their source articles. Public access shows identities, descriptions, and rolled-up totals. A free account adds round structure, dates, and portfolio lists, while amounts stay hidden. Premium costs $39 a month and adds exact amounts, valuations, revenue, and check sizes. Selva compares disclosed yearly totals with LAVCA benchmarks and publishes those comparisons and coverage figures. Company corrections go through a domain-verified review limited to company employees. Selva warns that information may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate and is provided for information and research, not as investment advice. Its terms prohibit scraping, crawling, harvesting, or bulk downloads, and restrict resale or redistribution except where expressly permitted. Selva says it does not sell personal information and loads Google Analytics only with visitor consent.
