Hello everyone. I quickly built this little tool based on public records provided by the government. The amount of information they provide is incredible. There are no explicit names, but for small startup or exec position it is easy to guess who is who. As far as I know this is the biggest LCA database so far.

Thanks this is way better than existing sites. I did notice that searching for Google gives you 5 different entities that are all Google.

It's a really clean implementation. However, it took me a while to understand what the website was all about (wasn't sure what LCAs are, etc.) One improvement could be making the messaging more accessible and less technical. We are interested in an API and would love to hear your plans about it. Will shoot you an email :)
