Crunchbase
crunchbase.comA database of private companies, funding rounds and people, used by investors, sales teams and journalists. Any registered user who connects a LinkedIn or Google login can add a company profile for free, and it takes minutes: logo, founded date, website, descriptions, headquarters, industries and founders. The website link is nofollow and passes no authority. Add it anyway, because the profile is an entity record that search engines and AI answer engines read when they describe your company.
