What types of alternative data does Crustdata provide?

Crustdata aggregates workforce data (headcount, growth trends, departmental splits), job postings (open roles, hiring velocity), web traffic (monthly visitors, growth), review data (Glassdoor, G2), funding history, estimated revenue, tech stack, and leadership profiles. All from 15+ sources, enriched at query time.

How does this compare to PitchBook or Capital IQ for private companies?

PitchBook and Capital IQ rely on self-reported data and quarterly refresh cycles. Private companies with no recent funding round or press coverage show minimal information. Crustdata enriches from live workforce, web, and hiring sources that update continuously regardless of whether the company has filed or raised.

Can I screen for private companies that match specific criteria?

Yes. The Company Search API supports 95+ filters including headcount growth, funding stage, geography, industry, web traffic, and estimated revenue. You can build any thesis into a repeatable query.

How much does private company research cost?

Company enrichment is 1 credit per company. Company search is 1 credit per 100 results. Most research teams enriching 50 to 200 companies per month and running regular screens spend $500 to $2,000 per month.

Read private companies like public ones.

Private companies don't file financials or report headcount. Use workforce data, job postings, web traffic, and tech stack signals to research private companies.

Terminals don't have full private company data

Bloomberg, Capital IQ, and PitchBook prioritize companies with public filings, earnings calls, and regulatory disclosures. A private Series B company with 300 employees gets a page with founding date, last funding round, and a description pulled from its website.

Founder-reported numbers are unverified

Analysts check five sources manually

Your internal tools track the relationship and product usage, but nothing in your stack tracks the account itself.

With Crustdata

Terminal shows funding date and a website description for private companies. No headcount, no revenue proxy, no growth signals.

250+ datapoints per company including headcount trends, web traffic, job postings, tech stack, reviews, and estimated revenue.

Headcount is a number from a pitch deck. No trend, no breakdown by function or geography.

See live employee count with 6-month and 12-month growth rates, departmental splits, and historical headcount series.

Hiring velocity requires checking job boards manually.

Find open roles by function, job posting growth over 3 months, and new roles added in the past 30 days.

Pass a domain or company name. The API returns headcount trends, web traffic, job postings, funding, tech stack, review ratings, and estimated revenue from 15+ sources, whether the company files publicly or not.
