Crunchbase vs. CB Insights

Crunchbase predicts more private company outcomes than anyone else — with 5,000+ confirmed predictions.

Crunchbase transforms private company data into predictive intelligence that reveals opportunities long before they surface in traditional reports. Crunchbase uses real-time engagement data and rich first-party sourcing to predict company momentum, exit potential, and risk — providing comprehensive visibility CB Insights can’t match.

Crunchbase's Funding Predictions

Exclusive Predictions CB Insights Doesn’t Have

CB Insights offers a single prediction, estimating whether a company will exit within two years. Its remaining indicators are reactive, with no risk modeling or time-based scoring. Crunchbase predicts a far wider range of private company outcomes — from growth and funding to exits, layoffs, and closures — giving teams earlier and more complete foresight into company trajectories.
