On the startup line
summary
Crunchbase spun out in 2015 and positions itself as the master record of companies, serving about 30 million users and handling roughly half lookup and half research traffic. Q1 funding rebounds globally but funding shifts: China tripled from ~$6B to ~$18B while Silicon Valley drops by ~$7B, and later rounds are fewer but larger. Data quality improves from C to B/B+, with about 3,000 VC partnerships feeding data, some rounds appearing months later. Recent stats show 17% female founders and top 100 VC firms average ~7% female partners.
