What changed
- Added a new section titled "Predictive Intelligence Changes What's Possible."
- Introduced seven specific prediction categories: Funding, Growth, Acquisition, IPO, Remain Private, Closure, and Layoffs.
- Shifted messaging to focus on "knowing first, deciding first, and acting first."
Why it matters
Crunchbase is moving beyond just reporting past events to predicting future ones. They are now highlighting specific risks like layoffs and closures alongside growth opportunities, which helps users avoid bad deals and find winners faster.
