Every conventional database — Crunchbase, PitchBook, Tracxn — is structurally reactive. It ingests a funding announcement, normalizes it, and serves it back to you. That works for late-stage. It doesn’t work for the population of companies that haven’t announced anything yet.
Cross Gliding flips that direction. We index the public footprint of companies before the funding event: incorporation, registry filings, founder identity changes, domain and infrastructure signals, press first-mentions, patent and grant filings, and the digital exhaust of building something quietly.
We don’t scrape behind logins. We don’t resell paid datasets. We don’t fabricate estimates. We surface what is already publicly observable, triangulate it across at least two sources, and serve it with the provenance attached.
We’re a small team. We talk to every early-access user. If you’re curious about how this would look against your specific region or sector, the fastest answer is a 20-minute walkthrough on your data.
