Overview
Crunchbase is the most widely used entry-level database of startups, funding rounds, investors, and key people. For venture investors it is the quick lookup layer — who invested in what, when a company last raised, who the founders are — plus a serviceable prospecting tool with saved searches and alerts. Data quality is uneven because much is self-reported, but the price point and coverage of early-stage activity keep it in nearly every fund's stack.
