The best alternative to Crunchbase
Looking for a smarter, more reliable, and futureproofed market intelligence platform?
Discover why organizations across the world are choosing FounderNest over Crunchbase.
FounderNest covers far more companies than Crunchbase.
FounderNest tracks over 50 million companies globally, across all industries and stages. By comparison, Crunchbase has much smaller coverage and a startup-biased scope.
“FounderNest helped us discover the hidden 20% - opportunities we would have never found otherwise. We can now map 100% of a space in record time.”
Lluc Diaz
Director, Digital Innovation Novo Nordisk
We're optimized for competitive intelligence. Crunchbase isn't.
FounderNest proactively surfaces emerging trends and competitors based on what you're searching for. Crunchbase lacks deep market views and insights.
“The ability to link directly to recent news and conduct company lookups streamlines the research process.”
Shiva Chandra
Senior Associate, Kyocera
FounderNest is better built for outreach than Crunchbase.
FounderNest gives access to contact data of executives (LinkedIn, email) for direct engagement. Crunchbase doesn't have verified contact detail functionality.
"We use FounderNest not just to review incoming applications, but also to proactively identify and contact startups ourselves.”
Carmel Appel Raskin
Senior Project Manager Corporate Strategy & Digitalization at Fraport AG
FounderNest has deeper analytics than Crunchbase.
FounderNest delivers in-depth tracking of market trends, technologies, competitive activity, and whitespaces. Crunchbase doesn't provide whitespace analysis or reinforcement-learning.
“FounderNest gives me 10x the market intelligence power I had before. I can now research 100 spaces in minutes.”
Carlos Cendra
Scouting & Investment Lead, MAPFRE
Switch to personalized AI powered searches.
FounderNest uses natural-language prompts to explore niche topics with company and market intelligence. In comparison, Crunchbase relies on static search lists and filters.
“Tasks that previously took an analyst three days can now be completed in just a few hours with FounderNest.”
Pablo Zabaleta
Associate Partner, Leading Consulting Firm
“FounderNest has completely replaced Crunchbase and CB Insights in our team.”
