Access Crunchbase company predictions 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 IPO predictions data. IPO Predictions utilize Crunchbase data, including historical performance, to forecast the likelihood of a private company to launch their IPO, providing a probability score and its supporting evidence. 

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

IPO Predictions gives you access to: 

  • Identify High Returns, Early: Knowing the likelihood of an IPO for a company helps investors position themselves early, which could lead to substantial returns if they invest before the company goes public. Stay ahead of the competition by weighing the probability of predictions and supporting indicators from the growing industry. 
  • Proactively Assess Risks: Identifying a company’s IPO potential helps investors make more data-driven decisions to adjust their portfolios. Assessing prediction probabilities and supporting indicators like key leadership hire and unicorn status, can help inform their portfolio strategy and if they need to diversify to mitigate risk.
  • Anticipate Market Shifts: Understanding the potential for a company to launch their IPO can help you gain key market insights in advance and help make your sales pitch resonate. Monitor this potential more effectively with a supporting indicator such as market share expansion.

  1. Financial Growth: Increases in revenue, sales, earnings, profit margins, dividends, return on investment, stock performance, commercial contracts, and other key financial metrics.
