Why did the number of companies in my Crunchbase search change?

The Crunchbase help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Search results update as you change filters and as the data changes, so the same search can return a different count on another day.

What causes it?

  1. Search results update as you change filters and as the data changes, so the same search can return a different count on another day.

    In the Crunchbase help: Watch your search results update in real-time. Navigating Crunchbase Pro, read 2026-11-12.

  2. Crunchbase builds many records from news and government filings, so a new funding round can appear once it has been reported rather than on the day it closed.

    In the Crunchbase help: Information extracted and validated from more than 1,000 news outlets and government filings. About Crunchbase Data, read 2026-11-12.

  3. Crunchbase keeps checking its company data against outside sources, so a record can change after it first appears.

    In the Crunchbase help: Crunchbase continuously benchmarks company data against external sources. About Crunchbase Data, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check it myself?

  1. Save the search you track, so you compare the same filters each time.

    In the Crunchbase help: Once you’ve built a search you’re interested in, you can save your search to stay updated at all times. Navigating Crunchbase Pro, read 2026-11-12.

  2. Turn on notifications for a saved search to hear when new companies are added to it.

    In the Crunchbase help: setting up customized notifications on your saved searches will alert you via email when there are new additions. Navigating Crunchbase Pro, read 2026-11-12.

How does Crunchbase work with Feder?

  • Connect Crunchbase to Feder and it joins your Interest apps.
  • When you connect Crunchbase, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in Crunchbase, one of your Interest apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Crunchbase.

Where do these answers come from?
