It's an easy way to do a quick scan of a company, investor or person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crunchbase?

The data is only as good as the last time it was updated and you can never be quite sure when that was. So many details might be missing. It would seem easy enough to pull data from the likes of Companies House and do more with the many data sources out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can see what companies investors have invested in, when and how much, although I never fully trust the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Crunchbase?

Crunchbase provides accurate and comprehensive information that helps startups perform research associated with capital raises. While there are other research firms doing the same, the costs of other services is often prohibitive for a start-up company. Crunchbase is accurate, timely and affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area where Crunchbase could improve is the presentation of financing history. Improved methods for being able to drill down into financing, history and capital sources would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Crunchbase?

Good price in comparison to other platforms and good coverage of data features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crunchbase?

Much of the information relies self-reporting, which can lead to inconsistencies. (By way of example - if a company wants to capitalize on the AI trend, they may be liberal in applying the AI tag to their business even if it's less relevant.) As such it can be difficult to get a fair view by just relying on the data provided. Analysts should take the data with a grain of salt and apply appropriate due diligence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crunchbase solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have used Crunchbase for investment and market research to get data about specific industry trends and players. It does this well and for a fair price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
