What is included

  • Active, non-duplicate startup jobs with normalized title, seniority, location, skills, compensation when published, and direct application URL.
  • Companies with industry, stage, funding, investors, headquarters, careers URL, and stable join keys.
  • Versioned schemas, checksums, audit output, generation metadata, samples, and daily change summaries.

Trust and reuse

Every snapshot is audited before release. Full descriptions, candidate data, accounts, embeddings, prompts, and RocketList ranking logic are excluded. Data is published under ODC-BY 1.0; code is MIT licensed.

Review the methodology and limitations, browse the schemas, or report a correction.

Evidence before claims

How agents can trust RocketList

RocketList is designed to make uncertainty visible. Agents should cite the underlying record, distinguish explicit fields from unknowns, and verify selected results before recommending them.

Daily freshness

Snapshots are rebuilt daily and releases include generation metadata plus change summaries.

Public provenance

Schemas, methodology, checksums, audit artifacts, and limitations are inspectable on GitHub.

Verified answers

The skill requires agents to re-check chosen jobs or companies and report missing fields as unknown.

Read-only access

The public MCP exposes search and lookup tools without candidate accounts or private profile data.
