A free, open-source alternative to PitchBook & CB Insights, focused on the AI companies VCs actually care about.

MCP-native · zero-cost · fully-sourced · updated daily

Status: v0.1.2 — functional. The pipeline, reconciliation engine, MCP server, and dashboard all work end-to-end. Coverage and source breadth keep growing via the daily run.

Why OpenPitch exists

PitchBook and CB Insights cost $20k+/year — and for fast-moving AI startups, their data is often months stale, because human verification is slow. For a company growing 3× a year, a figure verified six months ago can be off by multiples.

Meanwhile, the real numbers are already public: founders state ARR on podcasts weeks before any database, funding hits SEC filings, hiring velocity reveals growth. They're just scattered, unstructured, and contradictory — exactly the problem an AI agent is built to solve.

OpenPitch's bet is latency, not coverage. For the AI companies that matter, a fresh, fully-sourced, confidence-scored number beats a verified-but-stale one. We don't claim certainty — we show you the receipts.

What you get

Ask your coding agent, get an answer with receipts:

> what's Sierra's valuation, with sources?

  Sierra — AI agents for customer service (sierra.ai)
  Valuation  $15.4B  [consensus · confidence 0.96] · as of 2026-05
  ↳ 10 public sources · Reuters · CNBC · The Information · qz.com
  ↳ $950M round closed May 2026 — led by Tiger Global and GV

(A real answer from the committed data — check it against the live dashboard.)

Every number carries its source, a confidence score, and a tracked history of how it changed.

Features

• 🎙️ Mines podcasts — founders leak metrics on podcasts before any database catches them. We transcribe and extract them.
• 🧾 Always sourced — every figure links to its origin (podcast timestamp, filing, article). No black-box numbers.
• 📊 Confidence-scored — built from source reliability, speaker authority, corroboration, and freshness (confidence decays as data ages).
• 🔀 Reconciles conflicts — when sources disagree, you get a consensus range + a contradiction flag, not a silent guess.
• 🧠 Learns which sources to trust — sources that prove right over time earn more weight.
• 🕒 Version-tracked — the git history is the audit log. See exactly how a company's reported ARR evolved.
• 📡 Composable — emits typed events other agents subscribe to (newsletters, press alerts, investor outbound).
• 🤝 A2A-discoverable — ships an A2A agent card so agent ecosystems can find and describe it.
• 🧯 Grounding — give your AI a sourced, confidence-scored fact base so it stops making up AI-company numbers.
• ⚡ 60-second install — no key, no signup; works in your agent in under a minute.
• 💸 Genuinely free — runs entirely on free tiers. No cost to run, no cost to use.

Quickstart — use it in Claude Code / Codex

No API key. No signup. No cost. The data is already built and committed; the MCP server just reads it, and your agent does the reasoning.

Fastest — zero install (reads the committed data from the public repo, no clone):

uvx openpitch-mcp

Or install the package:

pip install openpitch          # the MCP server (mcp is a core dependency)
openpitch-mcp                  # start the read-only server

Or run from a clone (for the pipeline / to rebuild data):

git clone https://github.com/Avierovich/openpitch && cd openpitch
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[pipeline]"   # core + pipeline LLM deps
openpitch seed                 # build the data/ database from the committed seed (offline, no key)

Then point your agent at the local server:

// MCP config (Claude Code / Codex) — zero-install via uvx:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openpitch": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["openpitch-mcp"] }
  }
}
// (or "command": "openpitch-mcp" if you pip-installed the package)

Ask your agent: "What's Cognition's ARR, with sources and confidence?" — it calls get_metric/get_provenance and answers from committed data (and will flag the public-source discrepancy).

Or just browse the data

• 🌐 Live dashboard — avierovich.github.io/openpitch (sourced company cards, refreshed daily) — or build locally: openpitch build-dashboard
• 📁 Raw data — data/companies/ — plain JSON, diffable, yours to use
• 🤝 A2A Agent Card — generated at dashboard/dist/.well-known/agent.json

Data status: live, refreshed daily by CI. Figures are probabilistic, public-source intelligence — every number carries its source, confidence score, and date, and open quality items are tracked in public. See the methodology and the correction workflow.

How it works

  Sources              Daily pipeline (free GitHub Actions)         Interfaces
  ──────────           ───────────────────────────────────         ──────────
  Podcasts ─┐          1. select top-50 (VC-attention score)        ┌─ MCP server (local, BYO agent)
  News ─────┤    ───▶  2. collect · 3. transcribe · 4. extract ───▶ ├─ static dashboard
  SEC EDGAR ┤          5. reconcile · 6. score sources              ├─ event feed (JSONL)
  Web ──────┘          7. publish → git commit (the database)       └─ "what moved today" digest

The git repo is the database. There's no server to run. See the FRD for the full design.

Build on it (composability)

OpenPitch emits typed, confidence-scored events when something material changes — so other agents can react:

You're building…	Subscribe to	OpenPitch becomes…
A newsletter agent	all material events	your content pipeline's data source
A press/PR workflow	funding/valuation events, confidence ≥ 0.8	your "time to call the company" trigger
Investor outbound	universe entries, growth thresholds	your targeting signal

Events ship on MCP and a raw events/feed.jsonl. Schemas are versioned. See the events spec.

How we compare

OpenPitch is complementary to the incumbents, not a rip-and-replace. We win a narrow wedge; we lose on breadth and verification — and we're honest about both.

	PitchBook / CB Insights	Crunchbase	Harmonic	MAGNiTT / Wamda	OpenPitch
Price	$20k–100k/yr	Freemium	Custom	$/regional	Free & open
Freshness	Weeks–months	Variable	Days	Weeks	Daily
In your AI agent (MCP)	✗	✗	◐	✗	✓
Every figure sourced + confidence-scored	◐	◐	◐	◐	✓
Contradiction detection	✗	✗	✗	✗	✓
Coverage breadth	✓✓✓	✓✓✓	✓✓	✓ (MENA)	narrow (by design)
Verified, diligence-grade	✓	◐	◐	◐	✗ (probabilistic)

The honest pitch: the free, fresh, AI-native first look — every number sourced — before you pull the expensive verified report. For an investment decision, you still need the incumbents. Full mapping, feature matrix & pricing: docs/COMPETITIVE-ANALYSIS.md · spreadsheet.

Coverage

Global AI startups — 140+ profiled across 12 sectors (including Chinese AI labs and European names Western trackers miss), with a top 50 dynamically ranked by VC attention (valuation + funding activity — not ARR, to avoid circularity). The list moves as attention shifts; companies entering/leaving the top 50 is itself a tracked signal, and auto-discovery grows the universe daily.

MENA AI/tech segment — a dedicated regional set (an open, AI-native alternative to MAGNiTT/Wamda). Honest caveat: MENA disclosure is lighter than the US, so this segment launches with lower confidence/coverage, clearly labeled.

Seed universe: config/watchlist.yaml.

Honest disclaimer

OpenPitch is transparently probabilistic. Many figures are estimates derived from public, self-reported, sometimes-contradictory sources. We surface confidence and provenance precisely so you can judge for yourself. This is not investment advice, and figures are not guaranteed accurate. Always verify before acting.

Roadmap

• [x] Seed universe (global AI + MENA segment) + auto-discovery (news, funding digests, 21-sector backfill, China feed)
• [x] Core data model + reconciliation engine (confidence, consensus, contradiction) — tested
• [x] Source adapters: podcast, news, EDGAR, company-site — tested
• [x] Extraction stage: batched LLM claim extraction + model rotation — tested; data QA still required
• [x] MCP server — local read-only data tools
• [x] Daily GitHub Actions pipeline — wired for LLM, Groq transcription, and SEC user-agent secrets
• [x] Static dashboard + company pages — generated from committed data
• [x] Event feed — JSONL feed and digest generated from publishes
• [x] A2A agent discovery card — generated with dashboard
• [ ] MENA adapters (regional news, free-zone registries)
• [ ] Rich-source expansion (GitHub, hiring, app-ranks) — post-PMF scaling
• [ ] v2: implied-ARR model, intra-day funding fast-lane

Contributing

Contributions welcome — especially new source adapters (one file each) and watchlist curation. See the FRD for architecture.
