Crunchbase
The company graph journalists and models already treat as a fact sheet.
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.
Do this in week zero of any launch sequence. Then leave it alone except when facts change.
Evergreen listing
Should you launch on Crunchbase?
List here. Do not treat Crunchbase as launch day.
Crunchbase is a catalog page, not a hunter room. There is no 18-hour comment thread to win. The value is a crawlable URL, a possible backlink (High-authority profile URL), and showing up when someone — or an assistant — compares tools.
Do this on a quiet afternoon, with the same one-liner you used on AlternativeTo and your homepage. Paying for a featured slot before the free listing exists is usually backwards.
When: Any week. Best in week 0–1 so the page exists before humans arrive from a board.
Launch here if
- Any incorporated startup that will be googled
- Keeping name, description, and funding consistent
- Press and AI entity matching
Skip if
- A traffic spike
- Paying Pro to ‘rank’ your launch
- Fake funding rounds
This page answers Crunchbase only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.
