Company Research (Exa)

Find and profile companies using Exa's semantic search — discovery by category/stage/geography, competitor sets ("companies like X"), funding and news. Calls the Exa REST API through a local script; no MCP server needed, only an EXA_API_KEY.

Setup (once)

export EXA_API_KEY=your-key            # or put EXA_API_KEY=... in a .env at the repo root

Get a key at https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys. The script auto-loads a .env from the repo root, so setup is one-time. Shared details: see exa-native-base.

Run it

python scripts/company_research.py "<describe the companies you want>" [-n N] [-c CATEGORY] [--json]
