(1-3 of 3)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Crunchbase is a part of my sales research methodology today. When wanting to understand the financials of any client/prospective client, I look to Crunchbase first to see the recency and frequency of funding rounds. Also, the ability to see a snapshot of their competitors through the Owler integration is killing two birds with one stone! It is easy to read through, and helps me to be more through prospecting.
- Detailed view of funding rounds and its frequency.
- Additive information on company's competitors, rank in the market, and more.
- A LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration would be helpful to see recommended people within the org to reach out to.

Wonderful tool to assist in prospecting
Pretty much everyone on my product side of the sales organization uses Crunchbase to help with breaking into accounts and staying on top of news relevant to clients. It is helpful when sending cold emails or having initial convos to know where these companies stand on funding and competition in the market. Overall it just makes the sales reps seem more knowledgable when they come in already knowing details about the client's current stance in the market.
- Funding news - Huge strength to know immediately when a funding round is available.
- UX/UI super easy to navigate making it a simple tool to use for early sales reps.
- Notifications - Something similar to TweetDeck would be nice, so that when news breaks it could be an immediate fact.
- Honestly dont add too much because you don't want it to become more of a social tool with cluttered info, keep it straight to the point.

- Hard to determine ROI since not quantifiable, but the tool definitely has an impact on the overall sales cycle.
- Business objectives are further supported by having knowledge about the company enterprise space.
Sales Navigator is better only because it provides you with more direct contacts to reach out to. Crunchbase only tells you really the top dogs in the company like c-level execs, not necessarily contacts that you would be having sales conversations with.

Crunching the data on Crunchbase
Crunchbase is used in two primary ways: prospecting leads and understanding market spaces by analyzing trends in different verticals or industries. I primarily use it for the latter of these two options (Zoom mainly for prospecting). I work in many industries and understanding where to focus my time is crucial for productivity.
- Up to date continuous reporting on market trends
- UI is excellent
- Customer care
- Data quality can always improve
- The more reports the better
- Automating report building would be nice (may be possible, I have yet to find it)

- Productivity is increased substantially
- Gives a better understanding of industry, improving customer calls
- Another tool to enhance prospecting, yielding more sales.
This question always gets me. In a world with so many database solutions, it becomes quite difficult to compare, its the subtleties. Bigger is usually better...Crunchbase has gone through over 300...300 rounds of funding. In a world where there are so many options, going with the crowd can be the best choice. Going with the money in this case.
