I wonder what this means for startups building their product on Crunchbase like Datafox.co, Mattermark and Inkwire.io?

Seems analogous in some ways to what Twitter did with its API and data and developer some time ago.

I had a similar thought. It seems that CrunchBase has bigger plans and will be expanding its offerings to become competitive with other startups that are relying on their platform.
