What's New on StartupHub.ai (Summer 2026)

We have shipped a lot this season. Here is the rundown of what is new on StartupHub.ai: what each feature does, who it is for, and how to put it to work.

Prediction-market arbitrage, live

Who it is for: traders, quants, and anyone watching Polymarket, Kalshi, PredictIt, and Robinhood.

The new Arbitrage board finds the same event trading on more than one venue, confirms both sides resolve on identical criteria, and lays the prices side by side. When the combined cost of the two legs dips under one dollar, that is a locked arbitrage, and we flag it the moment it opens. It refreshes every 30 minutes, and there is an API plus a webhook if you want the feed in your own stack. We do not trade it: the legs are one tap away if you want to.

Search that filters the way you think

Who it is for: analysts, BD, and investors building a shortlist.

Search now estimates each company's monthly tech-stack spend, and you can filter the whole directory by location, operating status, funding stage, and live fundraising. Founder and investor pills sit right on the results, so you can jump from a company to the people and funds behind it without leaving the page.

Rankings, now a sortable table with weekly movement

Who it is for: anyone tracking who is climbing in the AI ecosystem.

The Rankings are a proper sortable table now, with week-over-week movement so you can see who is rising and who is sliding at a glance, across startups, investors, and people.

Tech Stack Scanner: now with DNS, email security, and SSL

Who it is for: sales, security, and competitive-intel teams.

The Tech Stack Scanner already detects frameworks, hosting, analytics, and payments. It now also reads DNS records, email-security posture (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and SSL details, so you get a fuller picture of how a company is actually run. It is cheaper than the usual tools, wired to our directory, and there is a per-scan API.

Company profiles got a lot richer

Who it is for: anyone researching a company before a meeting, a deal, or a pitch.

Profiles now carry an In the news feed that pulls together editorial coverage, press releases, and podcast episodes that mention the company, and it shows the exact sentence where the company is named rather than a paraphrase, so you can see the real context in one slider. We added a Public Record section, the full funding history with each round linking to its own page, sharper timelines, and Reddit reviews that surface what real users are saying.

Deep Intelligence lookups

Who it is for: researchers who need a company filled in on demand.

Deep Intelligence runs a full enrichment pass on any company and writes the result straight back into the directory, so the next person who looks it up gets the richer profile too.

Market Map Maker: 10 one-click styles

Who it is for: marketers, founders, and VCs building landscape maps.

The Market Map Maker ships with ten one-click style presets, so a clean, on-brand map is a click away. Build from a prompt, an image, or a CSV, then export to PowerPoint with the logos hyperlinked, or publish and embed it with your own branding.

YouTube to Article

Who it is for: content teams who want an article out of a video.

Paste a YouTube URL and get a publication-ready article generated from the transcript, with the length adapting to the source. There is a WordPress plugin, a REST API, and an MCP server, so it drops into whatever you already use.

Advertising you can actually measure

Who it is for: advertisers and sponsors.

Every ad now has its own performance page: click any ad to see clicks and impressions over time, so you can tell what is working without guesswork.

List your company free, and auto-publish your feed

Who it is for: founders and operators.

You can list a company free by connecting your own data, and higher tiers can auto-publish from an RSS feed, billed per feed, so your latest news reaches our audience without manual posting.

A bigger API and an MCP server

Who it is for: developers and AI agents.

We added a stack of endpoints: tech-stack scans, Reddit reviews, the prediction-market arbitrage feed with webhooks, AI enrichment, and new filters to query startups and investors by website liveness and founders. There is also an MCP server so Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf can pull StartupHub.ai data directly. Grab a free key in the API docs.

What is next

More is on the way, including an article-to-video pipeline that turns our coverage into short explainer videos. If there is something you want to see, tell us through the contact page.
