Connect your AIGive your agents the data to execute, not just answer.
- Your agent pulls the data it needs to act. Equip your agent with private market data via the Crunchbase MCP in Claude, ChatGPT, or your own custom-built LLM.
- Power agent research, reasoning, and action. With structured, real-time data built for agentic workflows, your agents can run without you watching it, not just retrieve information.
- Trust the source behind every answer. Every answer traces back to the Crunchbase record behind it, so you can see exactly what it acted on.
Put your agent to work:
With product launches, leadership changes, and overlap reasons.
With funding predictions, investor history, and current valuation estimates.
With growth signals, funding events, and micro-industry momentum.
With financials, leadership, competitors, and what the company is worth today.
Power LLMs with private market knowledge
- Same questions, stronger answers. Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity and other tools, and get responses built on Crunchbase’s private market expertise instead of unreliable web-scraped data.
- Get analysis you can rely on. Every response traces back to the Crunchbase record behind it, so your proposal, your diligence, or your next recommendation hold up without a second pass.
- Access forecasts and analysis unavailable on the public web. Crunchbase gives your LLM funding activity, live market movement, and predictions you can’t get anywhere else.
Ask your LLM to:
"Give me a one-page brief on funding, employee growth, product launches, and leadership changes across my key targets."
"Build a market map of emerging and growing companies in generative AI for healthcare."
"Find investors backing early-stage robotics companies in the Midwest, and what they’ve funded recently."
"Find US-based cybersecurity companies founded since 2022 that raised a Seed or Series A, ranked by growth."
Power the tools you use and the applications you build.
- Bring Crunchbase into the tools your business runs on. Integrate financials, firmographics, insights, and forecasts into the models, dashboards, and platforms your teams rely on every day with flexible API access.
- Build products users can't get anywhere else. Enrich the applications and LLMs you build with unique private market data and signals that give your customers a real edge.
- Ship faster without building the data foundation. Build on structured, continuously refreshed private market data without sourcing, cleaning, and maintaining it yourself.
