Thoughtful answers go a long way.)LLMs and agents are automating work across research, GTM, and sales, but they all hit the same wall: a lack of structured, relevant, and timely context to make decisions. apistemic is building the foundational context layer for the agentic age. We turn messy web data into clean, unified, and queryable knowledge, so intelligent software and agents can reason like an analyst at machine speed. Our first product, markets.apistemic[.]com, is a high-precision API for discovering competitors, lookalikes, leads, and acquisition targets. We’re now expanding into new verticals where structured context unlocks real workflows for AI-native applications. We’re builders with deep experience in data, ML, and venture. We’ve launched startups, shipped data products, built a data-driven VC fund, and backed over 20 early-stage AI and SaaS companies. If you're passionate about AI, curious, driven, and want ownership from day one, we'd love to hear from you.
