Projects on this term

The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Era – Complete Simulated Companies for Your Agents · score 7.7

  Era by Eon generates highly realistic simulated company datasets, complete with consistent identities, work-hour-aware timestamps, realistic statistical distributions, and multi-system projections (Slack, Jira, Salesforce, file stores, call transcripts). It also serves these companies as live MCP and vendor-REST endpoints, enabling agents to read and write against a coherent synthetic enterprise. This fills a real gap for agent benchmarking, synthetic data generation, and testing.

• Show HN: Sift – qualify companies and find who to contact from any website · score 6.5

  Sift is a Chrome extension that uses Apollo and TypeSafe APIs to qualify companies against a user's ideal customer profile, suggest reasons to reach out, and identify key contacts with emails. It also offers an MCP server and CLI for agent and terminal use, with a focus on privacy and bring-your-own-keys.

• Show HN: WhoFundsOSS, a public ranking of companies that fund open source · score 5.0

  WhoFundsOSS aggregates publicly disclosed financial contributions to open source from companies across Open Source Pledge, Open Collective, GitHub Sponsors, and self-published programs. It produces a transparent ranking with monthly snapshots, movement tracking, and a public spam denylist, emphasizing verifiable floor counts rather than estimates.

• Show HN: PrivacyFixed – which companies a site contacts before cookie consent · score 4.7

  PrivacyFixed is a browser-based privacy scanner that reveals which companies a website contacts before users give cookie consent. It highlights blocked trackers and cleaned links, offering a preventative approach to third-party tracking rather than post-hoc consent management.
