Firecrawl raises $75M for agent web data

Firecrawl raised a $75 million Series B and launched Alexandria, a retrieval layer that combines official data providers, custom connectors, its indexes, and the live web, according to the company’s announcement. In a blind test across 845 tasks, Firecrawl says Alexandria produced 21% higher answer quality than built-in web tools. Agent builders can file the number as a retrieval benchmark—not a guarantee—and compare it with our agent-search API cost analysis before swapping search infrastructure.
