Access Crunchbase company insights powered by proprietary private company data and AI models that help you focus on the companies and decisions that matter most. 

With Crunchbase’s Predictions and Insights API package, you have access to news insights data. News Insights are built on the foundation of Crunchbase's proprietary private company data and leverage LLMs to categorize and monitor company-related news events. Each insight is organized into specific indicators like "Product Launches" and includes detailed descriptions, sentiment scores (e.g., positive, neutral, or negative), news source links, and relevant dates

News Insights aims to provide structured and actionable data from the latest news articles to support informed decision-making in investment, M&A activity, and market research.

Incorporate insights into your own internal models and tools to identify opportunities and surface highly relevant companies.

  • Trend Identification: Identify emerging industry trends by analyzing the frequency and sentiment of news indicators related to specific event categories like product innovations or regulatory changes
  • Market Monitoring: Understanding how the market reacts to certain news events, like product launches or executive changes, can provide critical insights for managing public relations and investor relations
