Crunchbase – UI Update

Crunchbase Project

Following the initial analysis, I assembled three forms. After defining the following parameters:

  1. Industry
  2. Region

My form auto-popluates with relevant information related to a company’s geography, total funding, and website. Further detail:

  • Form One: Companies by region > median funding > average funding
  • Form Two: Funding League Table, Top 20 Companies in terms of total funding
  • Form Three: Auto-populate list of all companies in dataset including
    • Company Name
    • Company Website
    • Total Funding
    • Operating Status (Operating, Acquired, Closed)
    • Headquarters
    • Founding Year
    • Date of First Funding Round
    • Date of Last Funding Round

Form One:

Form Two:

Form Three:

Considerations + Follow Up

Following the initial analysis, I discovered a more efficient means by which to rank + index values that calculates results with greater efficiency (dataset size is 56% smaller with the new methodology I developed). At this point in time, it is possible to expand the data beyond the scope of California to include the aggregate database (the world). The database will be 60% larger (about 9mb) and incorporate > 1 million points of information.
