Crunchbase has a data advantage because its parent conpany Techcrunch gets a lot of intel on startup funding.

>> If not, would you use one if I built it? I'm wondering how one might collect the data for just one category (to start)

If someone had a very good idea on how to collect that idea, they probably would be building it themselves….

Fair point. You'd probably have to have a combination of initial data load + continuous web-scraping and crowdsourcing. Perhaps it's enough to start with a celebratory page for founders to fill out

Curious, have you used Crunchbase (premium), and if so, what's bothered you the most?

Ive used a less expensive plan years ago. The thing that bothered me the most was that they limited exports to 1000 or something unless you upgraded

Were you trying to expert to Excel? If so, was it mainly to sort, filter, tag, etc?
