There is an API for getting data out of Crunchbase: http://www.crunchbase.com/help/api http://www.crunchbase.com/help/api I used it a few months back for a personal project where I thought the Crunchbase data set of summary information about startups would be useful - turned out this data wasn't useful for what I wanted to do; I was hoping to built up a corpus of words for a "startup idea Markov generator" but I found that the submissions ended up resembling regular English too much. I don't recall any type of rate-limiting by the API, nor does it seem like you need to register to use it.
