14K+ AI and automation companies.
Most are too new for traditional databases.
By the time ZoomInfo indexes an AI startup, it's already raised another round, pivoted its product, or doubled its headcount. AI companies, LLM app builders, and automation tool firms live on Product Hunt, Crunchbase, GitHub trending repos, and Y Combinator directories — places that update daily, not quarterly.

[02] Research
AI agents that find AI companies where
they actually have a presence.
AI founders aren't waiting to be indexed by legacy databases. They're launching on Product Hunt, pushing code to GitHub, presenting at NeurIPS, and filing on Crunchbase. Origami's AI agents search these sources in real time, pulling founder details, funding data, product launches, and hiring signals that traditional databases are always behind on.

Funding rounds as a timing signal
An AI company that just closed a seed or Series A round is actively hiring, buying tools, and building infrastructure. Origami tracks Crunchbase funding data in real time so you can reach founders within weeks of their raise — not months later.
Product Hunt launches reveal momentum
A Product Hunt launch with 500+ upvotes signals strong market interest and a team ready to scale. Origami monitors launch performance, upvote velocity, and category rankings to identify AI companies at their peak momentum.
GitHub activity as a growth proxy
Open-source AI companies with rapidly growing star counts and contributor bases are gaining developer adoption. Origami tracks GitHub org activity — stars, forks, and commit velocity — as a real-time indicator of product traction.
Hiring patterns reveal company stage
An AI startup posting 10+ engineering roles is entering its build-out phase and will need infrastructure, tooling, and services. Origami tracks job posting velocity to identify companies about to make significant purchasing decisions.
