Build a startup market map from a plain-language request, e.g. 'fintech startups in London' or 'AI coding assistants split by use case'. The map splits the market into segments and fills each with real companies from StartupHub.ai's database of startup profiles, with their logos. Returns image_url (a PNG of the finished map: show it to the user), editor_url (open the map in Market Map Maker to edit it by hand or by chat), the segments with every company and its profile link, and the full map spec as JSON. Set publish: true to also get a public link. Uses one market map credit from the account's monthly allowance. Answers within about 15 seconds: when status is 'building' the map is saved and still filling, section by section, so follow it with get_market_map (map_id) every few seconds until status is 'done', not with another create_market_map (the interactive map view in Claude does this itself and shows each section as it fills).

Update a product you previously submitted (new feature, pricing, or a new version). Pass slug plus only the fields to change. An edit does not hide a live product. Free for the owner. Needs a StartupHub.ai API key with credit (pay as you go).

Update a startup profile you own: the account behind your API key created it (the PATCH route checks created_by). Use this instead of the website form when an agent manages the listing. Pass slug plus only the fields to change. The profile stays on the free listing. An edit does not hide it or turn it into a bill. Free for the owner. Same validation as submit_startup. Needs a StartupHub.ai API key with credit (pay as you go).

Verify if a single email address is real and deliverable. Returns {valid, status, confidence_score}. Use when you already know the address (e.g. from a contact page, LinkedIn, or a prior discover_email run) and want to confirm it before sending. To go from a person's name → verified email instead, use discover_email: that already runs validation internally on every candidate, so don't call validate_email on its output. Needs a StartupHub.ai API key with credit (pay as you go).
