# Crunchbase

Public Crunchbase evidence — company snapshot, funding depth, growth trends, and web / tech footprint when pages resolve.

_Data source — Crunchbase signals Propensify detects: company snapshot, funding depth, growth trends, and web / tech footprint from public Crunchbase pages._

## Two questions we ask of the profile

1. **What capitalization story is on the profile?** — Stage labels, disclosed rounds, public versus private — the story the page tells, not an essay parse.
2. **What events are attached?** — Milestones and news chips on the profile — attached events, not a traffic essay.

No org page in this pass is unknown — not that they are unfunded.

## Snapshot is context. Momentum is prioritization.

### Snapshot

Org page facts — operating status, public/private, stage label, capital disclosure, score levels.

### Momentum

What moved — funding recency, growth/heat trends, milestones, and website traffic direction.

## How Crunchbase evidence stacks

One family, four depths — start with the org page, then open funding, growth, and tech when the story needs more.

1. **Profile** — Org snapshot
2. **Funding** — Rounds depth
3. **Growth** — Trends & milestones
4. **Tech & traffic** — Visits / stack

- **Org first:** Identity, taxonomy, and score snapshot from the organization page.
- **Funding depth:** Rounds and investors when the financials page resolves.
- **Growth motion:** Trend deltas and milestone samples — not score levels.
- **Tech & traffic:** Visit estimates, traffic direction, and a technology detection sample.

## Company profile

Did we resolve a usable org page — snapshot facts, not a parsed essay.

Employee range is a Crunchbase string — not live workforce trajectory. Pair with workforce signals when you need headcount motion.

## Profile Footprint

- **Org observed:** Usable organization page extract — listing, not ICP fit proof.
- **Not found:** No Crunchbase org URL resolved — not illegitimate or unfunded.
- **Extract unusable:** Page sparse or extract flake — not proof of no Crunchbase presence.

## Operating

- **Active:** Operating status coerces to active — CB snapshot, not legal proof.
- **Closed:** Closed / defunct-style status on Crunchbase — not dissolution proof.

## Funding Status

- **Public:** Funding status Public — taxonomy, not exchange verification.
- **Private:** Funding status Private — not full cap-table confidentiality.

## Company Type

- **For-profit:** Company type coerces to For Profit on the org page.
- **Non-profit:** Company type coerces to Non-Profit on the org page.

## Stage And Funding

- **Stage present:** Last-funding-type label present (e.g. Series A) — not rounds depth.
- **Funding observed:** Total funding coerced to USD — disclosure parse, not audited books.
- **Funding obfuscated:** Funding text present but not coercible — we won’t invent a number.

## Scores

- **Growth score:** 0–100 vendor growth score snapshot — not causal growth or Hot/Warm.
- **Heat score:** 0–100 vendor heat score — not buyer intent.
- **CB rank:** Crunchbase rank observed — vendor prominence, not ICP priority.

## Profile Rollups

- **Competitors listed:** Competitors listed on the org page — not win/loss proof.
- **Founders present:** Founder names listed — sample count, not a complete roster.
- **Employee range:** Employee range string on CB — not payroll headcount.

## Funding depth

When the financials page resolves, we read rounds inventory and investor rollups — not a replacement for the org-page stage label.

Org-page stage ≠ rounds inventory. Prefer this section when you need depth.

## Funding Footprint

- **Financials observed:** Financial details page retrieved with usable extract fields.
- **Not found:** No financials URL resolved — not proof the company never raised.
- **Extract unusable:** No coercible rounds or investor lists — flake or sparse page.

## Rounds

- **Rounds observed:** Funding rounds count ≥ 1 — inventory rollup, not per-round truth.
- **No rounds listed:** Usable page with zero coercible rounds — disclosure miss possible.

## Investors

- **Investors present:** Investor list length ≥ 1 — page sample, not a complete roster.
- **Lead investors:** Lead investor list length ≥ 1 — sample, not exhaustive leads.

## Round Recency

Latest round recency

Days since latest parseable round date — extract parse, not verified close.

## Growth & milestones

Trend deltas and milestone samples live here — score levels stay on the profile.

Trend points are vendor snapshots — not proof of causal growth or buyer intent.

## Growth Footprint

- **Growth page observed:** Growth outlook page retrieved with usable extract fields.
- **Not found:** No growth outlook URL — not proof of flat momentum.
- **Extract unusable:** No parseable trends or milestones — flake or sparse page.

## Trends

- **Growth trend:** Signed growth-score trend points — proprietary snapshot, not causal proof.
- **Heat trend:** Signed heat-score trend points — not buyer intent.

## Milestones

- **Milestones present:** Recent milestones list length ≥ 1 — sample, not full chronology.
- **None listed:** Empty milestones list — disclosure miss possible.
- **Milestone recency:** Days since latest parseable milestone date — extract parse only.

## Tech & traffic

Web visit estimates, traffic direction, and a technology detection sample — when the tech page resolves.

Pair with Website Ranking when you need an independent popularity ladder — Crunchbase visits are a third-party estimate on the tech page.

## Tech Footprint

- **Tech page observed:** Tech details page retrieved with usable extract fields.
- **Not found:** No tech details URL — not proof of zero traffic or stack.
- **Extract unusable:** No coercible visit, stack, or spend evidence — flake or sparse.

## Visits

- **Visits observed:** Website visit count coerced — third-party estimate, not analytics.
- **Visits unavailable:** Usable tech page without a coercible visit count.
- **Visit growth:** Visit growth percent coerced — estimate, not causal audience proof.

## Traffic trend

Closed-set website traffic direction from the tech page — the only continuum on this guide.

_Growing → declining_

- **Accelerating:** Traffic trend coerces to accelerating — estimate label, not causal growth.
- **Stable:** Traffic trend coerces to stable — not proof of flat demand.
- **Declining:** Traffic trend coerces to declining — not proof of business decline.

## Stack Cards

- **Stack observed:** Active technology count ≥ 1 — detection sample, not inventory of record.
- **Stack empty:** Zero coercible technologies — detection miss, not confirmed non-use.

## It Spend

Projected IT spend

USD projected IT spend — estimate only, not budget fact.

## What it looks like in a verified fit

Crunchbase evidence lands as findings on the account — with the same Fit and Signals score grammar as the product.

Harborline Analytics

## Findings

- **Crunchbase org observed**
- **Funding rounds observed**
- **Traffic accelerating**

## Boundaries & method

- A Crunchbase page is a listing / AI extract — not ICP fit or complete firmographic truth.
- Sparse or unusable extract ≠ the company has no Crunchbase presence.
- Operating active/closed on Crunchbase is a snapshot — not Companies House or legal proof.
- Public / Private are taxonomy labels — not exchange verification or full cap-table secrecy.
- Total funding is USD when coercible; obfuscated means we won’t invent a number — and we don’t invent size bands.
- Growth score, heat score, and rank are vendor snapshots — not buyer intent or Hot/Warm.
- Growth/heat trend points and milestones are proprietary / sample observations — not causal growth proof.
- Rounds and investor lists are inventory rollups — not audited raises or complete rosters.
- Visits, visit growth, and projected IT spend are third-party / projected estimates — not analytics or budget fact.
- Technology counts are a detection sample — not an inventory of record. Profiles / contacts depth is not part of this guide.
