crunchbase-companies

Fetch detailed company profiles from Crunchbase including funding rounds, acquisitions, investors, employees, and tech stack.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• If CDP connection fails during auth, launch Chrome yourself with https://www.crunchbase.com as the initial URL (see chrome-cdp agent guidance)
• If Chrome is already running via CDP but no Crunchbase tab is open: node skills/chrome-cdp/scripts/cdp.mjs open https://www.crunchbase.com
• If the user is not logged in to Crunchbase, ask them to log in in the Chrome window, then re-run auth

Setup

node crunchbase-companies.mjs auth

Usage

# View company by permalink (from Crunchbase URL)
node crunchbase-companies.mjs view google
node crunchbase-companies.mjs view anthropic

# View by UUID
node crunchbase-companies.mjs view 6acfa7da-1dbd-936e-d985-cf07a1b27711

# Section commands (all support --count=N --after-id=UUID for pagination)

How it works

1. auth — Extracts cookies from Chrome via CDP
2. view — Resolves permalink to UUID via search API, then fetches entity with cards from /v4/data/entities/organizations/{uuid}
3. Section commands — Use the overrides endpoint POST /v4/data/entities/organizations/{permalink}/overrides?field_ids=[...]&section_ids=[...] to fetch paginated section data

Available cards: overview_fields_extended, overview_company_fields, funding_rounds_list, investments_list, acquisitions_list, investors_list, current_employees_featured_order_field, overview_timeline, semrush_summary, technology_highlights

Available sections: investments, exits, funding_rounds, acquisitions, current_employees, advisors, news, sub_organizations, alumni, funds, products
