SheetVenture vs StartupDB

SheetVenture has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

StartupDB is a free database of startups, investors and people, organized around investment relationships and funding rounds. Company records can include funding dates, amounts, investor roles and source URLs, and facts link to sources for checking. Its data draws on reviewed public investor portfolio pages, public news, company and investor websites, and edits by staff, founders and investors. The database is available through a read-only MCP server and REST API, without an account or API key. The MCP server has six tools for searching investors, startups and people and retrieving individual records. The REST API provides GET endpoints for searches, individual records, investor portfolios and company funding activity, returning JSON. Both interfaces allow 120 requests per minute per IP address, with no daily cap. StartupDB says coverage is not complete, so a missing round or investor means only that the information is absent from the database. Dataset facts and compilation are licensed under CC BY 4.0 for commercial reuse with attribution; third-party logos, photos and site text are excluded. Founders and investors can claim and correct pages, and staff review reported issues. StartupDB says it was built at Workshop.
