How Crunchbase AI Is Forecasting Unicorns With 95% Accuracy

“The firms that embrace AI-driven investing will move faster, operate leaner, and make smarter decisions. Those that don’t? They’ll be left behind”.

Crunchbase, long known as a go-to platform for company data, has relaunched as an AI-powered solution, revolutionizing how investors, founders, and innovators gain insights into private companies. Moving beyond historical data, the new Crunchbase introduces live, predictive intelligence, providing a real-time, forward-looking view of the market. Users can now anticipate funding rounds, acquisitions, and even IPOs with unprecedented accuracy.

AI has disrupted the status quo. Companies still relying on static data are already obsolete, says Jager McConnell, CEO of Crunchbase. Crunchbase is not just adapting—we’re leading this transformation. Our AI doesn’t just capture what happened yesterday; it predicts what’s coming tomorrow so our customers can stay ahead of the market.

Venture capitalists, founders, and innovators can now leverage Crunchbase’s predictive AI to navigate uncertainty, identify opportunities, and stay ahead of the competition. With this relaunch, the company isn’t just documenting history—it’s shaping the future by transforming data into actionable insights that not only inform decisions but actively drive them.

Crunchbase’s AI-powered solution predicts trends and major milestones across millions of private companies. This unmatched scale comes from integrating vast amounts of data from the internet, government filings, direct input from knowledgeable investors and employees, thousands of data partners, an internal team of hundreds of experts, and aggregated usage data from Crunchbase’s 80 million active users.

Crunchbase’s AI can identify emerging startups, predict funding rounds, and flag potential acquisitions before they happen. Internal testing has shown that Crunchbase’s fundraising predictions achieve 95% precision and 99% recall—an industry-defining breakthrough that gives users a massive competitive edge in spotting high-potential companies before they hit the mainstream.

AI has completely disrupted the business model for data companies. The era of static, historical data is over, says Dmitry Shevelenko, Chief Business Officer at Perplexity. Crunchbase’s AI-powered insights are rewiring how VCs operate, giving them a data advantage that even the largest firms with dedicated data science teams struggle to match.

Crunchbase’s proprietary data, with 17 years of edit history and real-time engagement from 80M+ annual users, gives these models a massive boost, says McConnell. It’s no longer just about tracking who raised—it’s about predicting who will.
