Crunchbase for Agent Platform
Research companies, investors, funding rounds, and key contacts from Crunchbase directly in Agent Platform.
The Crunchbase connector gives agents and Mark access to Crunchbase's dataset of companies, investors, funding rounds, and key business contacts directly from within Agent Platform. It is installed via the Optimizely Connect Platform and configured with a Crunchbase API key.
Once connected, users can search for organizations and people using autocomplete, retrieve detailed company profiles including funding history and decision-makers, look up specific funding rounds and investors, and search across Crunchbase data using natural language queries — all through Mark Chat, agents, or workflows.
ABM teams, demand generation managers, and sales-aligned marketers who need to research target accounts will benefit most. Instead of logging into Crunchbase separately to look up a company before a campaign or meeting, you can pull funding data, decision-maker profiles, and company intelligence directly in Agent Platform — keeping account research in the flow of your work rather than as a separate task.
Example use cases:
- Ask Chat to search Crunchbase for a specific company and return its basic profile including industry, employee count, and current funding stage.
- Look up five named target accounts, retrieve their full funding history and key decision-maker profiles, and draft a personalized outreach brief for each account.
- Build an ABM research workflow that takes a list of target accounts from a Salesforce report, enriches each with Crunchbase funding data, leadership profiles, and recent news, scores them against defined ICP criteria, and outputs a prioritized account tier list with tailored campaign messaging recommendations for each tier.
