New data source live in Evertrace: the California trade registry
California remains one of the densest startup ecosystems in the world.
By adding California company registry data to Evertrace, we can now identify newly registered companies even earlier.
Evertrace is now working with 200 VC funds and customers worldwide.
What better way to celebrate than with an Evertrace cake for the whole office?
A huge thank you to all our customers for the trust. We’re grateful to be building alongside so many ambitious investors.
@Forbes 30 under 30 🤝 @evertrace_ai
The @Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2026 list dropped 2 weeks ago.
We had a behind-the-scenes role this year - Forbes used @evertrace_ai to source potential candidates for the list.
Congrats to all the people who made the list this year.
We just launched a new data source in Evertrace: hackathons.
Why does that matter?
Because hackathons can reveal exceptional founders long before they show up in the usual places.
Hackathons are one of those underrated signals.
This is now part of the Evertrace engine.
The Token Factory narrative ripped through the timeline this week post the GTC Keynote.
I asked Jacob Houlberg, @evertrace_ai his thoughts.
"I think it's kind of funny because a lot of people talk about how it's expensive. I see it as extremely cheap. Like, beyond cheap."
"Sure, we spend thousands of dollars on GPT per month. But the alternative is literally hiring 30 people to sit and do exactly the same thing."
"Our costs are still a fraction of the price, and we're able to increase or decrease the output and input instantly."
Its been 2 years since the start of @evertrace_ai
We have gone from 0 to >190 funds, more than 15% monthly MRR growth over the last year, and expanded from a regional focus to global coverage.
And today, we’re working with many of the absolute best VC funds in the world.
VC sourcing has always had a tax - the manual work that sits between the signal and the action.
That's the problem we've been thinking about since day one. This week, with Claude + Evertrace MCP, I finally got a glimpse of what solving it actually looks like.
We’ve spent the last couple of months going deeper on our API. You can now pull Evertrace data straight into your internal dashboards, CRM, or dealflow tools. No manual exports, no scraping, no spreadsheet gymnastics.
VC sourcing is about to change for good.
This week, we launched @evertrace_ai MCP and the feedback has been incredible.
We’re already seeing exciting use cases for automating a lot of the manual work VCs still spend too much time on.
You can now source founders with AI agents on Evertrace.
The Evertrace MCP is live today freely available for all our users.
Plug Evertrace directly into agents like Claude, OpenClaw, ChatGPT and get real-time founder signals across GitHub, domains, registries, and more.
Spot stealth founders via grants
This is big for deeptech funds.
From today, Evertrace tracks research grants.
Now you can see who is receiving serious research funding and spot the founders before they become founders.
This is how you win.
Evertrace is the leading AI-powered founder detection engine for VCs, trusted by 175+ funds.
We trace signals across the digital landscape to uncover emerging founders earlier than anyone else
helping investors discover tomorrow’s founders today.
New signal unlocked: Domains 🖲️
Most founders don’t announce when they start building.
They just buy a domain.
That’s why, from day one, we believed domain activity is one of the strongest early signals for spotting new founders.

Signal to noise ratio is a big deal in venture sourcing.
That was one of the very first problems we tackled when building @evertrace_ai.
Our co-founder Jacob recently talked about this with Alex Zafeiris on the VentureTales podcast.
Last week, we’re celebrated the 150th fund on Evertrace ⚡
Since October, when we reached 100, another 50 teams have joined.
A lot more to come as we keep building.
Some of the best founders start in stealth.
The problem?
You don’t know what they’re building.
No industry.
No focus.
Just guesswork.
At @evertrace_ai, we built industry tagging for stealth founders based on their background.
Better filtering.
Better use of your time.
Why build @evertrace_ai now?
Because the world is overflowing with signals, and VCs can’t sift through that noise manually anymore.
Earlier this month, our cofounder went on ETN to talk about exactly this. Watch the full episode 👇
