CrunchBase Launches 2.0 Version

crunchbase_logoCrunchBase, the open, crowd-sourced online dataset used worldwide to track that startup economy, has released a major update.

Crunchbase 2.0, launched today, has been rebuilt to encourage more crowd-sourced data and a more useful experience. New features include an improved mobile experience based on a responsive, card-based design, immediate publication of most user-supplied data, far easier data entry and editing, and new data categories.
The site is built on a graph database technology, which will allow for the addition of new data sets and functionality required for the creation of a “business graph”, to capture connections between people, companies and activities.

According to Matt Kaufman, president of CrunchBase “CrunchBase 2.0 will make it easier to answer complex questions our users want to ask, such as which startups are attracting top engineers, or what are the new hot categories for startup investment“.

Founded in 2007 by Michael Arrington, Crunchbase is an open, crowd-sourced database of start-ups, entrepreneurs, and investors, representing the biggest free resource for startup communities as well as business people worldwide.
It is part of the AOL family of brands along with TechCrunch.

FinSMEs currently counts 10,690 referral links from CrunchBase.
