I find this much more likely. A couple years ago Crunchbase seemed to be way more up-to-date than it is now. Reasons probably include: AngelList gaining traction, TechCrunch no longer seems to be as actively updating Crunchbase and isn't including a big "Crunchbase box" at the bottom of each article like they used to.
- dmor 14y agoEven if AngelList data were added I don't think it would account for more than 25,000,000 in a month (about 1% of the investment logged in December) which is a comparably small amount. The bulk of the money comes from Series A, B, C and later stage deals from VCs and I think TechCrunch keeps those updated themselves.
