The short version
Crunchbase is a crowdsourced news platform with funding announcements and basic firm profiles. Keystone Markets is a verified investor intelligence platform with 100,000+ active investors, verified personal emails, live deployment signals, and a dedicated broker.
Crunchbase tells you a round happened. Keystone gets you into the next one.
Data quality
Crunchbase contacts are usually generic info@ inboxes or no contact at all. You spend hours on LinkedIn finding the right partner.
Keystone ships verified personal emails for individual allocators, refreshed continuously. No bounced sends, no chasing analysts behind a generic mailbox.
Pricing
- Crunchbase Pro: about $49 to $99 per month for browsing.
- Crunchbase Enterprise: undisclosed, contract-based.
