A worldwide repository of startup financing information, tracking funding rounds, backers, and exit events.

Dataset card

Crunchbase's startup-funding-database is a commercial dataset cataloguing private-company funding activity, investors, and exit events. It is published by Crunchbase under a paid licence.

What this dataset contains

The dataset aggregates records of venture and growth-stage funding rounds, the investors participating in each transaction, and reported exit events such as acquisitions and IPOs. Coverage scope, update cadence, and the full list of tracked companies are not documented in the provided material. No download or usage counts are available.

Structure and fields

A formal schema is not supplied, and the specific column names are unstated in the source facts. The accompanying tags point to three thematic groupings: funding-rounds, investors, and exits, which likely correspond to the dataset's primary entities or tables. No sample rows, splits, or row counts are provided.

How analysts use it

Given its focus on private-market financing activity, the dataset is suited to tracking venture deal flow, mapping investor portfolios, and monitoring exit outcomes. Use cases commonly associated with such data include sourcing investment themes, benchmarking deal terms, and constructing signals around IPO and M&A pipelines, though these applications cannot be confirmed from the facts on hand.
