Crunchbase

The company operates a data platform that aggregates and structures information about organisations and funding activity, then sells managed access to this dataset. Value is created by maintaining a comprehensive, structured database and discovery tools that reduce research time for users doing prospecting, due diligence and market mapping. Access is offered through self‑serve web subscriptions for individuals, higher‑tier team products with collaboration and integration features, and programmatic access via APIs and enterprise licences. Additional value is created by bundling third‑party partner datasets into the platform and exposing them through a marketplace, enabling customers to enrich profiles and searches within a single interface.
