About LunarCrush

We turn what the world says on social media into structured, live data. For people, and for the AI they work with.

Why we exist

Markets move on narrative, and narrative lives on social media. Before a coin pumps, the conversation shifts. Before a stock turns, sentiment does.

The thesis since 2018

One material. One mark.

01 · The problem

The signal was always there.

It was buried in millions of posts, across many networks, mixed with spam and noise. Reading it by hand doesn't scale.

02 · What we built

Every post, read and weighed.

We take in X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and the news. We filter spam, weight every creator by real influence, score sentiment, and deliver clean data as it happens.

03 · Today

Two worlds, one source.

People use the Discover app to explore and decide. Machines connect through the API, MCP, and CLI. We're not a dashboard. We're the layer between social media and the decision.

Founded

Joe Vezzani starts LunarCrush on one idea: what people say on social media moves markets. The first version tracks sentiment and mentions for the top coins.

2020

AltRank™ and Galaxy Score™

Our own scores go live, joining social and market data into one read. LunarCrush becomes a daily tool for the crypto community.

2022

Beyond crypto

Stocks and ETFs, then sports, entertainment, brands, and culture. The same depth, for every conversation.

2024

API v4

A full REST API for developers and institutions. LunarCrush becomes infrastructure, not just an app.

2025

Inside Claude

One of the first social data sources connected to Anthropic's Claude through MCP. AI agents read social context natively.

2026

The context company

Live social context for people and their AI. 41 categories, 6 networks, and every post followed for its whole life.

What we believe

Decisions we make every day.

Not slogans. The rules behind what we build and what we leave out.

The conversation around a name matters as much as its chart. Engagement shows momentum, and tone shows where it's leaning. Social isn't noise. It's the signal most people ignore.

Raw data is useless at scale. We filter spam, weight by influence, and score sentiment before anything reaches you. The value is in the reading, not the pile.

The analyst exploring the Discover app and the agent calling the API get the same data, the same history, the same care.

Anyone can scrape a few hundred tickers from one network. Six networks, 10M+ creators, and every post followed, delivered the same way every hour, is the difference.

Leadership

The people behind it.

A small team that builds with the conviction that this is foundational work.
