Crunchbase’s mission is to help innovators discover opportunities. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking for funding, a sales person looking for buyers, or you’re just trying to stay on top of the latest industry trends, Crunchbase has the information you need, in one place.

 

But Crunchbase also recognizes that not all innovators have equal access to opportunities. And those innovators’ ideas–no matter how great–may not have the same chances to break through the noise and be heard. That’s why Crunchbase has joined forces with Pledge 1%. Crunchbase plans to donate 1% of their product, equity, and employee time to help support nonprofits that are working to close the opportunity gap.

 

In addition, Crunchbase is also partnering to help spread Pledge 1%’s vision to other companies around the world. With Crunchbase’s unique ability to tap a millions-strong community of innovators, Pledge 1% can reach the individuals who will help promote a new normal in which all companies—big and small—integrate giving back as a core value.
