Crunchbase Google Sheets & Excel Spreadsheet Add-on

Crunchbase is platform for finding business information about private and public companies, investors and investment rounds. This Crunchbase spreadsheet integration for Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel enables you to import data from your Crunchbase account API, like organizations, people, and investor information. This add-on will enable you to integrate on-demand, refreshable private and public company data without leaving your spreadsheet.

For example, with this Excel and Google Sheets add-on you can:

  • Import data about people, such as their first and last name, title, Facebook URL, and Twitter URL
  • Extract data about an organization, such as a short description, stock ticker symbol, domain, homepage URL, facebook URL, and twitter URL

Here are some examples:

=FLEX("YOUR_TEAM_NAME/crunchbase-list-people", "Bill Gates", "title, twitter_url")
=FLEX("YOUR_TEAM_NAME/crunchbase-list-org", "SpaceX", "short_description, twitter_url")

Prerequisites

The Crunchbase spreadsheet functions utilize Flex.io and Crunchbase. To use these functions, you'll need:

Installing the Functions

Once you've signed up for Flex.io and have the Flex.io Add-on installed, you're ready to install the function pack.

You can install these functions directly by mounting this repository in Flex.io:

  1. Sign in to Flex.io
  2. In the Functions area, click the "New" button in the upper-left and select "Function Mount" from the list
  3. In the function mount dialog, select "GitHub", then authenticate with your GitHub account
  4. In the respository URL box, enter the name of this repository, which is "flexiodata/functions-crunchbase"
  5. Click "Create Function Mount"

If you prefer, you can also install these using the Flex.io Crunchbase Integration.

Using the Functions

Once you've installed the function pack, you're ready to use the functions.

  1. Open Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
  2. Open the Flex.io Add-in:
    • In Microsoft Excel, select Home->Flex.io
    • In Google Sheets, select Add-ons->Flex.io
  3. In the Flex.io side bar, log in to Flex.io and you’ll see the functions you have installed
  4. For any function, click on the “details” in the function list to open a help dialog with some examples you can try at the bottom
  5. Simply copy/paste the function into a cell, then edit the formula with a value you want to use
