Need of the Hour - Deep Prospecting
Overall experience was good. I would say it kind of reduced 80% of our prospecting time.
Pros
The Funding information and the decision-makers information were the more I liked about this product.
The other thing is that the growth of the organization and year of incorporation were also made our prospecting simple matching our ICP criteria.
Cons
The phone numbers and email addresses can be made better and can be integrated in a better way so that we can get it all in one shot

A great resource for startup competition research
It's still the best option for what I need, highly recommend!
Pros
Crunchbase allows me to quickly understand the structure, financing, and key team members at competing technology startups. It allows you to save companies to a list for easy reference in future.
Cons
Crunchbase operates on a freemium pricing model, but as soon as you want to upgrade from free to paid, the price jump is fairly substantial. It would be better if you could pay monthly instead of anually, and if there was a lower starting tier for early stage startups

Crunchbase is the best in class tool for prospecting companies based on investment data
An exceptional tool for prospecting VCs and identifying M&A opportunities quickly and easily.
Pros
The data on VCs in Crunchbase is unparalleled and incredibly helpful whilst we were identifying targets for series round funding. The ability to construct rich lists of VCs with specifications like AUM saved countless hours looking manually online. Crunchbase is also exceptionally important for identifying M&A opportunities globally.
Cons
Crunchbase is quite expensive and doesn't need to be required daily which can make the SaaS hard to justify. I think there should be an opportunity to use Crunchbase pay as you go so you don't have to lose a subscription account each time.

Critical Review by daily user: It's a cool product which has potential to become excellent.
Overall I am happy using this product, but like I mentioned they should not keep the flagged or incorrect information just to ensure there are some details for every company instead a stricter focus on ensuring the correctness of details is of paramount importance.
Pros
It happens to show results for almost every company I prospect for. Which is interesting as well as relieving from the pain of going to multiple sites to collect details for one company.
Cons
It also happens to be noted that there are considerable amount of errors in the details that is populated as a result likelihood of time getting wasted going behind wrong details is inevitable. I inform the team then and there to make it as much as error free from error prone.

Amazing prospecting and company research tool
Overall, it's been a great resource for finding companies and learning about their funding. Specifically, data on investors and investments made by investors. The option to export is beneficial.
Pros
Information about the company is presented in an easy-to-understand format. Especially in terms of funding and financial data. It also includes a list of decision-makers as well as a link to their LinkedIn profile, making it simple for us to contact them. Filter options are superb for narrowing down a market.
Cons
The most recent data is not always updated. Data must be updated on a regular basis, and the database must be updated (New companies)

You need it in your tool belt
Pros
Love the ease of use and the easy implementation.
Cons
I wish there was a HubSpot integration. I also do like the fact that you can only tag up to 1000 companies. There is also not a custom fields option.

Good for free, but premium needs work
Pros
Crunchbase is the seminal public startup database on the internet. It covers most startups to some extent, as a free search database it is unmatched.
Cons
The data can be patchy or just wrong for younger companys, the UI is cluttered and navigation is a mess sometimes. Feels like its stuck between free offering and paid tier. Pitchbook is simpler to use.

Unico nel suo genere, risorsa indispensabile per aziende e startup
Non lo conoscevo fino a qualche anno fa quando mi sono trovato a cercare dati su startup, seed e investimenti e chiunque mi ha indicato crunchbase. In effetti è ineguagliabile, ad oggi non ho trovato di meglio. Si può davvero vedere tutto con chiarezza.Inoltre c'è una versione free trial, che, considerato che non è un servizio su cui andrei ogni giorno, può bastare
Pros
E' l'unico sito dove si può vedere con chiarezza seed, investimenti, round e altre informazioni finanziareNon ho trovato sostituti migliori ad oggi E' utilissimo per fare analisi di mercato, valutare investimenti nel proprio settore, capire investors e seeds e fare analisi competitors
Cons
Nonostante la versione gratuita sia abbastanza completa per un'analisi di base, non giustifica un prezzo mensile. Forse un abbonamento una tantum sarebbe meglio. Io non lo pagherei mensilmente per usarlo una volta ogni tanto.

Buone funzionalità e ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo
Crunchbase mi ha permesso di creare un database con centinaia di potenziali opportunità di investimento in poco tempo, di seguire in modo costante gli utimi trend di mercato e individuare potenziali coinvestitori, lo consiglio!
Pros
Ho trovato estremamente efficaci i filtri di ricerca disponibili e il sistema di alert mi ha permesso di rimanere sempre aggiornato sulle ultime tendenze.
Cons
Le informazioni riguardanti le transazioni nei mercati privati non sono sempre perfettamente accurate o aggiornate, ma in generale la qualità dei dati è accettabile.
