How to Export Unlimited Data from Crunchbase

Are you looking to export large amounts of data from Crunchbase? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll show you three powerful methods to export Crunchbase data, ranging from basic approaches to advanced techniques that allow unlimited data export.

Export Up to 2,000 Crunchbase records

This method comes from the Crunchbase Support Center: Why can I only see 1,000 results using Crunchbase Pro?

Here’s how to export up to 2,000 records:

  1. Perform your search in Crunchbase
  2. On the results page, set the sort order (e.g., Sort Ascending by Company Name)
  3. Export the first 1,000 results
  4. Change the sort order (e.g., Sort Descending by Company Name)
  5. Export the next 1,000 results

By combining these two exports, you can obtain up to 2,000 unique records.

This method is perfect for basic needs but has limitations on the number of records you can export.

Export Up to 6,000 Crunchbase Records

This method uses a clever trick that takes advantage of the “exclude list” feature. Previously, you could exclude any number of lists, but Crunchbase has since limited this to a maximum of 5 excludable lists.

Watch this detailed tutorial on how to export up to 6,000 records:

This method involves:

  1. Creating five separate lists in Crunchbase
  2. Adding the first 1,000 records to List 1
  3. Using the “Exclude Lists” option to get the next 1,000 records
  4. Repeating the process with Lists 2, 3, 4, and 5
  5. Combining all lists to get up to 6,000 unique records

Unlimited Export with Crunchbase Scraper

For those needing to export even more data, watch this tutorial on unlimited data export:

Steps for unlimited export:

  1. Install the Crunchbase Scraper extension from Chrome Web Store
  2. Visit Crunchbase.com and perform your search
  3. Click the EXPORT button
  4. Enable BOOST MODE
  5. Wait for the export to complete
  6. Access your data in CSV format

The Boost Mode feature, when activated, allows you to extract up to 1,000 records at once. Currently, it can bypass Crunchbase’s limitations, but it’s uncertain when this loophole might be closed. Use it wisely while it’s available!

Notice

The Boost Mode feature is not guaranteed to remain available. If you encounter any issues, we recommend disabling it.

Conclusion

With these three methods at your disposal, you can now export any amount of data you need from Crunchbase. Whether you’re doing market research, lead generation, or data analysis, these techniques will help you get the data you need efficiently.
