Show HN: StartupWiki – A Free Alternative to Crunchbase

https://startupwiki.tech/
43•shpran•2h ago
I've been building StartupWiki, a free startup database designed to make it easier to discover and research companies.

The original motivation was frustration with how difficult it can be to find information on early-stage startups. Most databases need accounts, or subscriptions, ro just feel too cluttered. I wanted a website that felt like Wikipedia, no accounts, no subscriptions, no weird metrics, just go in, the info is on the page.

The project is still very early, but currently includes:

Startup profiles Search and filtering Company categorization Public API (in progress)

I'm especially interested in feedback on:

What information you look for when researching startups Features missing from existing startup databases API use cases

I'd love to hear feedback.

It sounds like none of the data will be reliable? Ai and community seems like very little will be true and I will have no idea which part will be true.

Crunchbase is also not very reliable. It's community/self-reported data.
debarshri•1h ago
Crunchbase is generally self reported data

I expected the VERIFIED badges to link to some sort of provenance information. That seems like a must, otherwise (given the "assume everything's incorrect" disclaimers) I'm not sure why one would take that badge seriously.
simonw•55m ago
Yeah, the "verified" badges are useless if they don't link to sources or at least provide some indication of how they were verified and when.

Nice initiative. but, I am concerned about the reliability of the data. how are you gonna take care of that?
holistio•39m ago
It is unclear how I can list my company here. Are small companies coming later?
djvdq•16m ago
I see quite outdated data. Anthropic listed with valuation 18B and latest round at 4b? Just to compare, their real latest round was 65b with valuation 965b.
