Which endpoint(s) of the CrunchBase API are you using? I'm planning on doing something similar graphically.
honestly I have not used the API, i've done some web scraping, if you want you can download the database here ;) https://www.dropbox.com/s/pzhqhtk4g23temz/crunchbase.sql.zip

#22cool stuff. how are you grouping data startups within the funding categories section? i'd be interested to see the breakdown in recent years of startups that offer a data product, i.e. data infrastructure, ad optimization, user tracking, etc
Example: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/rent-com
If you want, you can download the database and check the companies table https://www.dropbox.com/s/pzhqhtk4g23temz/crunchbase.sql.zip

Is your list of companies in this db everything in their entity list of companies, or just ones that got acquired?

#28T-Mobile is listed as the top acquisition of 2011, but that deal was blocked by the DoJ and later dropped by AT&T. In other words, the charts are based on announcements, not necessarily consummated transactions.
