Can't find the answer you're looking for? [Talk to our founders](https://book.trylighthouse.vc/eu/9638f021-2d85-4a85-853e-60116917bf14/lighthouse-demo/) - **What is Lighthouse?** Lighthouse is an AI-native venture platform that unifies sourcing, intelligence, CRM, relationships, and diligence in one system. It continuously enriches and compounds your firm's data, so your team, and your agents, always work from the same up-to-date context. - **How do AI agents and developers connect to Lighthouse?** Lighthouse was built AI-native from day one. AI agents connect through our best-in-class MCP server to drive the product directly, while applications and developers build on a first-class REST API and typed SDKs. Integrations with the tools you already run are seamless. - **How much does Lighthouse cost?** We tailor the product to each customer, so pricing is tailored too. Whether you're a solo GP or a large multi-stage firm, our plans flex to your needs and scale as you grow. See our plans or reach out for a quote. - **Is there a free trial?** Yes. We offer a personalized demo and a free trial so you can experience Lighthouse firsthand before committing. Use the "Start trial" button to get started, or book a demo with our team. - **How is Lighthouse different from other data platforms and CRMs?** Most tools give you either data or a CRM. Lighthouse aggregates and enriches many startup data sources into one living intelligence layer, then puts it inside the workflow your team and agents act on, so insight, relationships, and execution all live in the same place. - **How often is your data refreshed?** Continuously. Lighthouse refreshes its data daily and re-ranks your pipeline as new signals arrive, giving you real-time visibility into new founders, emerging startups, and companies heating up, often before they start raising.
