Crunchbase
Claim your organization page. Keep funding, team, and description true. This is entity SEO, not a launch. Pro is a data product, not a ranking you can buy.
Crunchbase is how a lot of the internet answers ‘what is this company.’ An unclaimed or stale page is how assistants invent your headcount. Claiming is free for the basics; Pro is for people who sell with the data.
