Similar Companies are generated through a proprietary machine learning model that analyzes underlying data attributes (i.e. industry tags, company description, firmographics, financial information, etc.) to surface similar accounts and possible competitors, helping you discover related accounts to fill your pipeline.
We use machine learning and AI to generate this content. A multi-layered approach of data source validation, in-service evaluation, source data transparency, and community feedback are used to ensure the reliability of our Generative AI service.
Where can I find Similar Companies?
You can access this feature directly on organization profiles, in the Predictions & Insights section.
Why can I only see Similar Companies on certain profiles?
We are working to ensure that this feature is available on all company profiles, but you may encounter a profile that does not have similar companies listed. Here are a couple of reasons as to why:
- The profile may be newly added to Crunchbase, and has not yet been assigned its Similar Companies
- There are no other profiles within Crunchbase that meet the attributes required to be deemed a Similar Company in relation to the profile you are viewing
In other words, we surface Similar Companies that we have the utmost confidence about, so you are guaranteed to be getting only the best results.
How can I help generate Similar Companies on a particular profile?
- Edit the profile to make sure it’s up-to-date
- Focus on industry tags and company description, to ensure key words are featured on the profile
- Engage with the feature by using the thumbs up or thumbs down by each result.
Over time, with contributions from users like you, our model will continue to improve in both its coverage and quality.
