Firecrawl has raised $14.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Nexus Venture Partners, with participation from Shopify's CEO Tobias Lütke and Y Combinator, announced in a press release. The funding will support Firecrawl's growth, product innovation, and expansion of its global team.

Firecrawl, an open-source web scraping tool, is used by over 350,000 developers and AI teams to access and process web data. The platform's proprietary Fire-Engine technology offers faster and more reliable data extraction, making it a preferred choice for companies like Shopify, Replit, and Zapier.

The company plans to use the new capital to explore licensed partnerships that allow content owners to earn when their paywalled content is used by AI, aiming to create a sustainable model for high-quality web content. Additionally, Firecrawl is looking to hire an AI chief of staff to manage its innovative approach to employing AI agents.
