CrunchBase is used by millions of consumers, analysts, and investors every month to track what's happening in the fast-paced world of tech startups, and we're growing. The key to our continued success is building a robust and scalable system that can capture and reflect the complex relationships amongst participants in the industry. Right now, we have the unique opportunity to technically and experientially "reboot", taking all the lessons of running CrunchBase up to this point and build a brand new CrunchBase from the ground up. Sound exciting? It does to us.
