Data & API
Everything on Venture Atlas - 114 companies across 17 industries, 583 dated upcoming milestones, the news digest, and the sector briefs - is published in machine-readable form. Free, no API keys, CORS-open, and derived from the same data as the pages at every deploy, so it is never staler than the site. Every field carries the source URL it came from. Last data update: 2026-08-19.
/ JSON API
Four read-only endpoints, prerendered as static files on the CDN. Responses share an envelope with the API version and the date of the last data update. There are no query parameters; pick the endpoint with the scope you need.
Every tracked company as a slim record: identity, industries, parent, milestone track record, data-verified date, and pointers to the full profile.
One company in full: key metrics, dated next steps, resolved milestone history, timeline, funding rounds and total, products, subsidiaries, and its news.
The industry map with member companies and the full State of the Industry briefs.
Every dated, still-upcoming milestone across all companies, soonest first, each with its source and the company's track record.
/ MCP Server
An assistant with Model Context Protocol support can query the dataset live as tools instead of scraping pages. The server is public, unauthenticated, and stateless, served over Streamable HTTP at /api/mcp. To add it to Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http venture-atlas https://www.ventureatlas.org/api/mcpFind companies by free text and/or industry; returns slim records with slugs.
The full profile for one company, including the long-form overview on request.
Announced, still-upcoming milestones with target dates, soonest first.
The daily news digest, filterable by company or date.
Any other MCP client works with the same URL over the HTTP (not stdio) transport. Listed in the official MCP registry as org.ventureatlas/venture-atlas. A plain GET on the endpoint returns a description of the server, its tools, and current dataset counts. Rate limit: 120 requests per minute per IP.
/ Plain Text & Feeds
For assistants and crawlers that read text rather than JSON.
A curated plain-text map of the site for assistants and answer engines, per llmstxt.org: every industry and company with a one-line summary.
The full facts layer as plain text: sector briefs, every company's metrics, dated next steps, track record, and funding, each line with its source URL.
RSS feed of the daily news digest, newest 50 items.
Every page on the site, with per-page data-freshness dates.
/ Methodology & Editorial Standards
Venture Atlas is an independent reference tracking the companies driving frontier industries. Coverage is expanded regularly as new entrants emerge. Three rules govern everything published here:
Every fact is sourced. No summary, metric, funding round, timeline event, or milestone is published without a link to the press release, SEC filing, or reputable outlet it came from. A claim that cannot be sourced is not published.
Data is verified continuously. Automated research routines re-verify and refresh profiles multiple times each day, alongside the news digest, stamping a "data verified" date on every field they touch. That freshness date is published in each page's structured data and in every API response, so a reader - human or machine - can always tell how current a fact is.
Research is AI-powered. The automated research routines above use AI to research companies and industries and to write the profiles, news digests, and overviews. The sourcing rule is what keeps that honest - a claim that cannot be backed with a citation is not published - and every claim links to its primary source so you can check it.
Every milestone is dated. Profiles are forward-looking: each states what the company has committed to next, with the company's own announced target dates. Outcomes are recorded once a target date passes.
The site is also read by AI assistants and answer engines: retrieval agents and crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Google fetch its pages and machine-readable surfaces, and the sourcing rule means every claim they retrieve carries a citation.
/ Using the Data
The dataset is curated by Venture Atlas and free to use. Every fact we publish links to the press release, filing, or outlet it came from - when you republish a claim, cite that primary source; when you use our curation, a link back to the company page it came from is appreciated. All surfaces on this page are rebuilt from the same committed data on every deploy, so they never disagree with the site or each other.
