How we get our data

Crunchbase works with partners to maintain the highest quality company information while enabling world-class research on investment trends and business ecosystems.

Our multifaceted approach to data collection

Crunchbase has developed partnerships with a diverse range of companies and investors across the globe. Rather than relying on web searching or scraping the web, the vast majority of our data comes directly from our venture partners and our active community of contributors.

The largest venture program network

Crunchbase has the largest partnership with the venture community with 4,000+ members in our Venture Program. These firms submit monthly portfolio updates to Crunchbase in exchange for access to our data.

An active community of contributors

600,000+ executives, entrepreneurs, and investors update over 100,000 company, people, and investor profiles per month. Our hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors ensure our data is as up to date and accurate as possible.

AI and machine learning

Over 400+ algorithms search for and validate our data on a daily basis. We follow over 2,000 of the top news publications to ensure we are capturing every notable funding round, acquisition, and exit.
