The platform includes measures to reduce AI hallucinations and allows users to report inaccuracies.", "body_md": "Crunchbase is $49/month, which isn't great if you wanna learn and your not an angel or a VC.\n\nAt the same time I stumbled on grokipedia, and though it was a stupid website.\n\nBut then I realized that by using AI agents to research similar to grokipedia, and assembling the info into detailed crunchbase style profiles, I can create a free alt to crunchbase.\n\nSo I made an admin dashboard that lets me use custom ai agents to research startups and push to the site.\n\nI put up measures to stop hallucination, but obviously they aren't perfect, and so i added a feature where people can report inaccuracies.\n\nNOTE : If one of the profiles you visit seems wonky and has very little info, its because of a rendering bug, I'm working on fixing it right now.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48564508](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48564508)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-startup-research-website-crunchabse-and-product-hunt-and-grokipedia", "canonical_source": "https://startupswiki.vercel.app/", "published_at": "2026-06-17 01:10:04+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-17 01:22:28.041141+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "ai-startups", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Crunchbase", "Product Hunt", "grokipedia"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-startup-research-website-crunchabse-and-product-hunt-and-grokipedia", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-startup-research-website-crunchabse-and-product-hunt-and-grokipedia.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-startup-research-website-crunchabse-and-product-hunt-and-grokipedia.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-startup-research-website-crunchabse-and-product-hunt-and-grokipedia.jsonld"}}
