What Crunchbase is

Crunchbase is a company database read by investors, journalists, data providers and AI assistants. It isn't a launch channel: the value is a complete, accurate company profile that other sources copy.

How to submit to Crunchbase

1. Search Crunchbase for your product first. If it's already listed, claim or update that listing instead of submitting again.
2. Open the submit page: www.crunchbase.com/add-new.
3. Fill in the form: product name, website, a short description written for this audience, category, logo and a screenshot or two.
4. Submissions are reviewed before they go live. Save the listing URL once it's public.

What our agent saw on Crunchbase's submit flow

• The flow starts and stays on crunchbase.com/add-new.
• We didn't reach the last screen, so later steps may ask for more.

Recorded by our submission agent on 3 October 2026. Directory flows change, so check the live page.

Things to know before you submit

• The link to your website is nofollow.
• A Gmail address can't verify company ownership; use your domain email.

Tips for Crunchbase

• Fill in founders, funding (even if bootstrapped) and the description carefully; other databases copy them.
• Search first: your company may already have a profile to claim.

Submit to Crunchbase with your AI agent

AgentLaunch is a launch kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent submits your product to 300+ hand-checked directories, Crunchbase included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On Crunchbase specifically:

• It already knows Crunchbase's submit flow from the path we recorded (crunchbase.com/add-new).
• It writes the listing copy for Crunchbase's audience (startup database) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
• When Crunchbase publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the nofollow link in your launch tracker.
