# SalesBook by MaxedS — Enterprise Market Intelligence & B2B Startup Rankings (MCP Server)

The zero-paywall enterprise intelligence alternative to proprietary databases like CB Insights, PitchBook, and G2. SalesBook provides evidence-graded rankings, buyer-fit dossiers, and verified commercial wins for deep-tech & AI startups, queryable directly by frontier AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf) and autonomous agents.
