FOUNDERS

Eric Ciarla

Co-Founder of Firecrawl (YC S22).

Caleb Peffer

Co-building Firecrawl; led the pivot from their prior $250k ARR product and actively hires agents/creators for the startup.

Nicolas Camara

Core builder at Firecrawl; announced the $14.5M Series A and leads product/launch initiatives.

PRODUCT–FOUNDER FIT

Founders pivoted from their prior $250k ARR product to Firecrawl because they wanted to build developer-first tools they themselves would use, emphasizing shipping speed and product-led growth. They repeatedly highlight shipping multiple times per week and returning to dev tools after sales-led motions felt misaligned.
