Save a Search
Once you’ve built a search you’re interested in, you can save your search to stay updated at all times. Whether you’re looking for leads, investors, or just trying to keep tabs on competitors, setting up customized notifications on your saved searches will alert you via email when there are new additions.
Click the Save Search icon in the upper right-hand corner.
The following modal will appear, where you can add a name for the search, change its privacy settings, or customize your email alert types and frequency. Click Save when finished.
You can later access all of your saved searches in My Dashboard, which you can find in the top global navigation bar across all pages in Crunchbase.
Create a List
With Lists, you can follow specific profiles, so you can track the entities you care about the most. Once you’ve created a search, manually select which entries you want to add to your list by checking their boxes on the left individually, or, check the box at the very top of your search results next to the Name column to select all results.
This will reveal the blue Save to List button - click this.
You’ll have the option to add these results to an existing list, or scroll all the way to the bottom to create a new one.
Selecting Create New List will open the following modal, where you can name the list, update its privacy settings, and customize the type and frequency of email alerts.
Contact Data
Crunchbase Pro customers get 10 free contacts per month, and can purchase additional contact data to add on to their subscription.
In the Contacts tab of search, toggle to the Card view to see key decision-makers and available contact data (email, phone number, LinkedIn profile) in your search results.
Click the View button to access their available contact information, then take action right away by hitting Save (to save to a search or list). You can also push the contact to Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, or send an email right in Crunchbase’s engagement suite, powered by our intelligent email templates and snippets.
Recommendations
Crunchbase’s Recommendations help you prospect faster by automating account discovery and qualification. Uncover new opportunities with relevant recommendations powered by machine learning. You can quickly qualify accounts and understand why a company is recommended specifically for you.
Import
Import your own personal list of companies in .csv format into Crunchbase to easily gather data on multiple entities at once. You can download this template HERE to help you get started.
Once you’ve got your file ready to go, there are two ways to navigate to the import feature from your homepage - on the left hand side under My Crunchbase, and from the My Dashboard dropdown from your top navigation.
On the import page, you can upload the file by dragging and dropping or simply clicking the Upload File button.
Select View Your List once the upload is completed!
Account Information
Access your account settings from the person icon in the top right corner of any page on Crunchbase.
From the default Your Info section, you can manage your email, password, notification settings, social authentication, and company verification.
Navigate to the Subscriptions & Billing tab on the left to manage your subscription, update your payment details, and view your past and upcoming invoices.
Here, you can also manage your Integrations and Team settings as well.
