Summary

Congratulations to Crunchbase on their launch of CrunchBase 2.0, a next-generation website built atop Neo4j that includes the first open and public "Business Graph". The Business Graph is a comprehensive database of startup data covering over half a million people and organizations, with connections between companies, funding, products, and individuals. This milestone marks a significant shift from CrunchBase 1.0 to 2.0, where the focus is on the connections within the data, much like Facebook's social graph has changed online interactions. The website will feature entities such as people, organizations, products, and schools, with plans for events and customer link-backs to Neo4j.com.
