Crunchbase Pro users can use Insights and Predictions in Advanced Search to find companies based on current signals and what may happen next.
Used Crunchbase Pro before? Prediction filters were previously limited to Crunchbase Business. Pro users can now search using both Insights and Predictions, giving you more ways to find and prioritize companies based on Crunchbase's private company data, signals, and forecasts.
To get started, open Advanced Search, and make sure you’re using the Filters format of search, as opposed to Query.
Filter Using Insights
Click on the Insights category to expand all of the filters that you can apply to your search.
Available filters include:
- Growth Score
- Heat Score
- Growth Events
- News Insights
- Leadership Hire
- No Layoffs Reported
As an example, let’s say you want to find growing companies that have had leadership hire(s) in the last year.
Check the High checkbox under Growth Score, then select Past Year for Leadership Hire. Notice that your search results will automatically populate as you make filter selections.
You can then save your search to return to it later and receive alerts when new companies match your criteria.
Filter using Predictions
Click Predictions to find companies based on Crunchbase's forward-looking private company forecasts.
Pro users can filter by:
- Growth Prediction
- Funding Prediction
- Acquisition Prediction
- IPO Prediction
For example, to identify growing companies that may be approaching a funding event, select Very Likely under Growth Prediction and Very Likely under Funding Prediction.
Your results will automatically update to show companies matching both criteria.
Add competitor context to your search
Use Competitors to find companies that compete with a specific organization or with companies from one of your saved lists.
