Crunchbase API
Retrieve company profiles, funding rounds, investor data, acquisition records, founder profiles, and employee counts from Crunchbase's startup and business intelligence platform.
What Is the Crunchbase API?
The Crunchbase API provides programmatic access to Crunchbase's business intelligence database - the definitive source for startup and company data covering over 4 million organizations worldwide. It returns company profiles with name, description, HQ location, founding date, employee range, industry tags, and website. Each company record includes a complete funding history with round types, amounts, dates, and lead investors, as well as acquisition history and IPO data where applicable. Searches run by company name, industry, geography, or funding stage.
Beyond company data, the API exposes investor profiles with portfolio composition, investment stage preferences, and co-investor relationships - the data layer for fundraising research tools, LP databases, and market maps. Founder and executive profiles include current role, company affiliation, and LinkedIn handles, enabling enrichment of CRM records and executive outreach pipelines. Combined with funding signals as a trigger, Crunchbase data powers sales prospecting tools that target recently funded companies, M&A intelligence platforms, and sector-level market maps built for investors and analysts.
