Omitting `query` returns all records ordered by rank, making it straightforward to pull top-ranked organizations or investors without a keyword. Each result includes a `uuid` that feeds into the detail endpoints, plus summary properties like `short_description`, `rank_org`, and `location_identifiers`.\n\n## Organization Detail\n\n`get_organization_profile` accepts a `slug` (the `identifier.permalink` from search results, e.g. `'stripe'` or `'anthropic'`) and returns a single organization object. The `properties` payload includes `categories`, `category_groups`, `num_employees_enum`, `status`, and `rank_org`. `get_company_people` and `get_company_funding_rounds` both take an `org_uuid` from search results. The people endpoint returns each person's `primary_job_title`, `primary_organization`, and `rank_person`. The funding rounds endpoint returns each round's `investment_type` and `funded_organization_identifier`, along with a `count` of total rounds.\n\n## Investor Profiles\n\n`get_investor_profile` accepts a slug such as `'sequoia-capital'` and returns two distinct property bundles: `investor_properties` (covering `num_investments_funding_rounds`, `num_exits`, investor type, stage focus, and diversity investments) and `organization_properties` (covering `categories`, `founded_on`, `num_employees_enum`, and `rank_org`). This separation makes it possible to distinguish an entity's investment activity from its organizational characteristics without merging the two yourself.\n\n## Coverage Notes\n\nAll endpoints return data scoped to what Crunchbase makes publicly accessible. Fields like `num_employees_enum` return a range bucket rather than an exact headcount, and funding round records include `investment_type` and the funded organization identifier but do not break out individual investors per round within this endpoint set.","generated_with_model":"global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6","secondary_categories":["finance","jobs"]},"primary_category":"b2b_directory","secondary_categories":["finance","jobs"],"access_requirements":[]}
