Summary: Crunchbase adds AI-powered natural language search

Why It Matters: The platform is moving from simple filters to a conversational search style. This makes it easier for users to find complex business data by asking plain questions instead of building manual lists.

What Changed:

• The search bar now features natural language prompts like "What's Mistral AI's business model?" and "Chart the funding journey of xAI."
• Removed older search examples like "Compare Anthropic and OpenAI" and "Build a list of AI startups."
• Updated the monthly activity counter to show over 20.6 million new predictions (up from 17.8 million).
• Added a new footer section with direct links to Marketplace, Data Licensing, Customer Stories, and Pricing.
