Have you ever imagined meeting your past self for coffee? How would you have changed? Today, I met the old Crunchbase for coffee. ?? The old Crunchbase asked if it's still a great database, helping people find funding information on early-stage startups. I explained that I have 17 years’ worth of best-in-class private company data, but that I now use AI-powered predictive intelligence to tell the future of private companies. The old Crunchbase bragged about its company profiles. I explained that our company profiles have gotten even better and now offer actionable analysis on a company's past, present, and future with the help of our growth and heat scores. The old Crunchbase asked if it is still easy to find information on Crunchbase. I introduced it to our new AI research assistant, Crunchbase Scout, which provides quick summaries, conducts searches, and answers follow-up questions. Before leaving, the old Crunchbase asked if people could automatically access our data within their other tools. I explained that I now have integrations with Snowflake, monday.com, Perplexity, and Salesforce, delivering real-time, reliable data. I thanked the old Crunchbase for its strong data foundation and told them that predictive company intelligence wouldn’t be possible without it.
