New: Crunchbase News Scraper — daily funding, M&A and IPO headlines as structured JSON

What it does

This scraper pulls daily VC funding rounds, M&A, IPO, and startup news from Crunchbase News and returns structured JSON with entity extraction, funding-amount parsing, and round-type classification. It turns a stream of headlines into a queryable dataset of who raised how much, in what round, from whom.

Who it's for

VC and PE deal teams, startup-market researchers, competitive-intelligence analysts, and anyone building a funding-events dataset without a Bloomberg, Refinitiv, or Mergermarket subscription.

Sample fields / output

  • headline & url
  • published_date
  • entity (company)
  • funding_amount (parsed)
  • round_type (seed/A/B/…)
  • investors
  • article_category

Example use cases

  • Build a live feed of funding rounds in a target vertical for deal sourcing.
  • Track which investors are active in a sector quarter over quarter.
  • Feed an M&A monitoring dashboard with classified, structured events.
