Crunchbase Company Intelligence — Firmographics, Contact & Funding Signals

Turn a list of company names, domains or Crunchbase URLs into clean, structured company intelligence: description, website, employee range, HQ, categories, Crunchbase rank, IPO/operating status, contact email and phone, and funding signals — straight from each company's public Crunchbase profile. No Crunchbase subscription and no API key required.

Run it on the Apify platform for API access, scheduling, integrations, proxy rotation and run monitoring.

What does Crunchbase Company Intelligence do?

Give it ["stripe.com", "openai", "https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/nvidia"] and get one clean JSON record per company. It accepts a name, a domain, a Crunchbase URL or a permalink and resolves each to the right company through Crunchbase's own autocomplete — then confirms a domain match against the company's real website, so stripe.com returns Stripe, not a look-alike subsidiary.

It is built for lead generation and company enrichment: the fields a sales or RevOps team actually pastes into a CRM — contact email, phone, headcount band, HQ and rank — in one row, without a Crunchbase Pro seat.

Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Crunchbase, Inc. This Actor reads only publicly accessible profile pages.

Why use Crunchbase Company Intelligence?

• Direct contact data. contactEmail and contactPhone where Crunchbase publishes them — the money fields for outbound.
• Firmographics in one row. Employee range, HQ city/country, categories, CB rank, IPO and operating status.
• Smart resolution. Name, domain or URL in; the correct entity out — domain inputs are verified against the company's own website.
• Honest about the paywall. Crunchbase hides the exact funding amount and founded date from logged-out sessions. This Actor never fabricates them — it returns null and flags them. Supply your own Crunchbase session cookie to unlock them (see below).
• Pay as you go. Look up 3 companies or 3,000; you are charged for what is delivered.

Unlocking funding amount & founded date (BYOC)

Crunchbase paywalls the exact total funding and founded date for logged-out sessions, so this Actor returns them as null and lists them in paywalledFieldsNeedLogin. To unlock them, log in to Crunchbase in your browser, copy your session cookie, and paste it into the Crunchbase session cookie input. Your account, your responsibility.

How much does it cost to scrape Crunchbase?

Pay-per-event:

Event	Price	When
Company record	$0.012	per company delivered
Crunchbase session	$0.02	once per run, on the first company delivered — it covers clearing Crunchbase's anti-bot challenge, which every run pays before it can read anything

A company that cannot be resolved, or that Crunchbase refuses, is free, and a run that delivers nothing costs nothing — not even the session. Example: 25 companies in one run = $0.02 + 25 × $0.012 = $0.32. View current pricing.

The session fee is why batching pays: 100 companies in one run cost $1.22, the same 100 one at a time cost $3.20.

Tips & advanced options

• Batch, don't drip. The anti-bot challenge is cleared once per run and reused for the whole list, and the session fee is charged once, so one run of 100 companies costs a third of 100 runs of one.
• Use domains when you can. Domain inputs are verified against the company's real website, which is the most reliable way to hit the exact entity.
• Supply the cookie only if you need funding/founded — every other field is free.

FAQ, disclaimers & support

• Is this legal? The Actor reads only publicly accessible Crunchbase profile pages and does not bypass any login or payment wall (paywalled fields are left null unless you supply your own cookie). You are responsible for your use of the data and compliance with Crunchbase's Terms of Service and applicable law.
• Why are funding and founded date empty? They are paywalled for logged-out sessions. Supply your session cookie to unlock them.
• A company wasn't found. Try the domain or the exact Crunchbase URL. Very small or ambiguous companies may not surface via autocomplete.
• Feedback / bugs: use the Issues tab. Custom enrichment pipelines available on request.
