Crunchbase, which in March 2019 became deprecated by the Wikipedia community for use as a source,[1][2] sources its holdings in four ways: the venture program,[3] machine learning, an in-house data team, and the Crunchbase community. Members of the public can submit information to the Crunchbase database. These submissions are subject to registration, social validation, and, as with wikipedia, are often reviewed by a moderator before being accepted for publication.
