Our verdict

Crunchbase is one of the strongest domains you can get a listing on (DR 91). We haven't confirmed whether its listing links are dofollow yet. Listing is free and approval takes about 0 days.

Best for Tech startups, especially ones that have raised or plan to raise funding, that want a company record investors and sales teams can find.

About Crunchbase

Crunchbase describes itself as "the leading database of technology companies, people, and investors" and sells private company data and predictions to sales teams, investors, analysts and entrepreneurs. Any registered user can create or edit company profiles. Its moderation targets funded and pre-funding startups, investors and technology companies.

What a listing gets you

  • A company profile with logo, founded date, website and social links, short and long description, headquarters, industries, founders, funding rounds, employees, board members and advisors
  • An automatic CB Rank and CB Trend, plus Insights and Predictions, which users cannot edit
  • Verified employees can use "Manage My Company" to control some content in the Overview section

Pricing, timing and links

Pricing
Creating and editing profiles is included in the Free account. The paid Pro, Business and API plans are for searching and exporting data, not for listing a company.
Approval time
"Edits made to a profile can typically be viewed instantly"; if edits have "not appeared after 24 hours, please email us at [email protected]"

Before you submit

  • A registered account that is "socially authenticated" (linked to Google and/or LinkedIn) before you can add a profile
  • Search first to make sure the company isn't already listed
  • Content must be accurate and objective, provide unique information, and "cannot be used as a marketing tool to sell a product or service"
  • Profiles may be removed if they look like "Promotional-based profiles that are purely advertisements", web directories and website submission sites, small local businesses, or profiles written entirely in a language other than English
  • Target profiles are early-stage funded startups, growth startups, pre-funding startups, investors, technology companies and other high-profile companies
  • Submissions openYES

How to get approved

  • Crunchbase gives menu steps rather than a direct link: click Resources, then Create Profile. Link your account to Google or LinkedIn first, or you can't add anything.
  • Write the short and long descriptions in the third person, start the long one with a one-sentence summary, and avoid words like "best" and dated words like "new", as the best-practices article asks.
  • Add 3 to 5 industries and all closed funding rounds with amount, date, investors and a press reference.
  • Verify your employment through Manage My Company so outsiders can't change your Overview section.
