Firecrawl announced a $75M Series B alongside the launch of Fireround and research platform Alexandria.
- Fireround lets users query startup funding rounds via the Firecrawl MCP plugin inside ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Cursor: amounts, lead investors, and source coverage of $10B+ in weekly deals and 8,000+ investors
- Natural-language queries like "which investors led the most AI rounds in the last 30 days" or "what has Sequoa led recently" work out of the box
- The site shows live rounds, e.g. a $70M Series C led by Saga Ventures
