Search Startups

Query StartupHub's proactively discovered directory: companies found from new domain registrations, government registries (Israel, Canada, UK, US SEC Form D, …), GitHub orgs, and verified websites: not just press mentions. Filter by country, sector, founded date window, latest round, stealth, tech stack, and 50+ signals. This is what Tavily/Linkup/Parallel cannot do: structured "new cybersecurity startups in Israel this month" with pagination. Use sort=created_at.desc for "added this week"; founded_after/founded_before for "founded this month".
