Alumni Founder

Love the time-to-value. Some of the results are inaccurate though. How fresh is the data?

whoa this is amazing!

Are we also able to find the emails and phone contacts of them??

Seeing spin outs visually mapped is powerful. That's how a lot of great companies actually emerge.

the paypal mafia and stripe alumni stuff is talked about constantly but nobody could actually map it without spending a weekend on linkedin and crunchbase. turning that into a live graph with overlap strength and funding context is genuinely useful, not just a cool visualization. excited to see what people surface with it. cool stuff !!

I remember back then when I was choosing schools, we were doing that with completely random information from random websites. As a founder I would have loved to compare schools by the amount that has the most active alumni community and of founders and the one that produced more founders

this is amazing. as someone who supports startup founders, this is really helpful. i think it will also be great for creating content about founders.

Tried it on the mobile. Not good. Desktop version is better.

Pricing is a bit confusing.

Good idea though. Good luck.

Hey PH! 👋Mapping founder networks is one of those things that sounds simple but is actually a massive pain. You're bouncing between LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and Google trying to piece together who came out of a company, what they built, and how they're connected and you still end up with an incomplete picture.Alumni Finder does it in one shot. Enter any company and it instantly maps the entire founder alumni network as a visual graph.Here's what that looks like in practice:Type in Stripe and you'll see Daniela Amodei (Anthropic), Anurag Goel (Render), Jenn Knight (AgentSync) - all former Stripe employees who went on to raise hundreds of millions. You can see who overlapped with who, which teams they came from, and whether their connection is strong (same team, same time) or partial (same company, different era).The graph shows:🌐 Full founder alumni network - every founder that spun out of a company or university🔗 Connection strength - strong overlap (same team, same tenure) vs. partial overlap (same company, different time)💰 Funding raised - so you know who built something real🏆 Cross-company benchmarks - compare which orgs produce the strongest founder networks side by sideA few ways people are using it:VCs use it to source deals from specific talent pipelines - type in Palantir or Stripe and see every founder that came out, how much they've raised, and whether they overlap with your existing portfolio.Sales teams use it to map warm intro paths into target accounts - find a former colleague who now works at the company you're trying to get into.Founders use it to find co-founders - see who from your old company has already made the leap into startups.Angels and scouts use it to get ahead of deal flow - spot emerging founders from strong talent pipelines before they're on everyone's radar.Corp dev teams use it to track where talent from acquired companies landed and what they built next.And a lot of people just use it for fun too by finding who in their alma mater have become founders!Check it out here: https://tools.crustdata.comLet us know if you have any feedback!
