How to choose a Crunchbase alternative

Match the audience

Choose a platform read by investors, journalists, analysts, not just the largest launch board.

Check the link policy

If a followed link matters, filter for dofollow. Crunchbase is nofollow.

Pick the effort you can sustain

A high-effort launch is worth it once. For a batch, use the low-effort permanent directories.
