In their words

Ploid is the AI-native people data infrastructure for building products, workflows, and agents around people. We’ve built an index of 2B+ people across professional and social sources, with the infrastructure to search, resolve, enrich, and retrieve up-to-date information about anyone on demand. Through Ploid’s API, CLI, and MCP, developers and companies can search for people, enrich profiles, find emails and phone numbers, resolve identities across different data points, and access the broader web context associated with a person. Unlike traditional people databases that rely primarily on static records, Ploid is designed for AI-native workflows. We combine our people index with real-time retrieval and entity resolution so data can be refreshed and expanded at the moment it is requested. Ploid can power everything from sales and recruiting products to customer intelligence, identity resolution, trust and safety, and AI agents that need reliable information about people. Instead of building and maintaining dozens of data integrations yourself, Ploid gives you one infrastructure layer for people data. 2B+ people. One API. Built for AI.

Is this you?

If you're behind Ploid: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
