Martijn Lancee — CEO
I lead distribution partnerships at Firecrawl, the web data API that powers search, scrape, and extract for AI products. I partner with AI coding assistants (e.g. Lovable), workflow platforms (e.g. Zapier), agent frameworks (e.g. LangChain), model providers with tool use (e.g. OpenRouter), and dev infrastructure. What's the value exchange? → For our partners: better user experience, stickier product, co-marketing. → For their users: web data — search, scrape, extract — no friction, no credit card required. → For Firecrawl: distribution. Firecrawl is the easiest way to extract data from the web. Developers use us to reliably convert URLs into LLM-ready markdown or structured data with a single API call. In just a year, we've hit 8 figures in ARR and 80k+ GitHub stars by building the fastest way for developers to get LLM-ready data. We're a fast-moving, technical team building essential infrastructure super-intelligence will use to gather data on the web. We ship fast and deep.
