An AI agent is only as useful as the information it can reach and the work it can complete. For startups building agents and automation, public web data can be the starting point for research, richer context, and workflows that turn information into action.

Join HackerSquad and Bright Data for the first Web Data for Startups evening at the Web Data Loft. We'll open the programming with a few short product demos, hear how founders are solving real data problems, and bring practitioners together for a panel on building and scaling useful agents. The evening closes with time to meet the teams and compare notes with other builders.

What we'll explore

  • Turning fresh web data into useful context for agents and automated workflows.

  • Moving from a promising demo to a dependable product: data quality, reliability, latency, and cost.

  • Choosing what to automate, measuring whether it works, and learning from the cases that need human input.

Who this is for

Founders and engineers building AI agents, automation tools, and products that depend on public web data. Come with a product to discuss, a data challenge to work through, or a perspective from taking an agent into production.

Bright Data Startup Program

Demo teams will also have an opportunity to be selected for Bright Data's Startup Program, which offers $20,000 in Bright Data credits to help scale their product. The series brings together founders building with public web data and the people working on the infrastructure behind those products.
