On Crunchbase, users are recommended to have both a user account and a person profile.
A user account is the private information used to control your login information, billing, and alerts. Your profile page is what displays externally on Crunchbase.
User Accounts
User accounts are created when someone registers for a Crunchbase account. In order to protect your privacy, user accounts do not appear in search.
Users on Crunchbase have the ability to create, edit, and follow profiles. You can register for a user account here.
You can access your user account and update your account settings by clicking the icon in the upper right-hand corner of the website and going to Account Settings.
Person Profiles
Person profiles can be found in search and are public pages.
Individuals who would like to be found on Crunchbase can create a person profile to link to their company, investments, alma mater, and highlight any additional accomplishments.
