Our take
Crunchbase is a platform that's designed for finding business information about public and private companies. This includes funding information, recent investments, leaders or founders, industry trends, and M&A news.
In addition to earning money via advertising, Crunchbase sells a range of products on a monthly basis, such as Crunchbase Pro and Crunchbase Enterprise, which allow users to run advanced searches of their database. Though it has competitors such as Owler, DealRoom and PitchBook, Crunchbase differentiates itself by covering a wider breadth of companies and having additional info on tech stacks and web traffic.
Crunchbase data is crowd-sourced, which means that people and companies enter data on themselves and others. This means that company info that is not widely available can be missed or added late, but despite these shortcomings, Crunchbase remains a premier spot for company information. Its 2022 round of funding is being used to grow its team as well as continue planned improvements, including the addition of enhanced machine learning-powered suggestions to the site.
