Almost a year after proposing the idea, Crunchbase has launched its third-party data marketplace. For less than $50 per month, Crunchbase Marketplace subscribers can sign up to data sets from 13 partner companies - a figure expected to be closer to 100 within the year. For example, today, in the case of paid marketplace “apps,” users need to purchase each of these à la carte, and there is no provision for those who might already be paying for a premium tier with the service directly. The company is also working on an API that will allow developers and other third parties to build applications for the platform.
