    I'm not sure I'd call it an alternative to Crunchbase, I don't really see what is more "modern" about it either

    I use Crunchbase for their data, such as location, employees, details regarding funding or their tech... your site doesn't seem to have any of that, it's just a brief description with a link to their website

    It's fine as just a basic directory though

    Love the interface. Great for discoverability. I assume you'll be adding stats and intel in to match the Crunchbase reference

    How do I grab funding or number of employees or industry? I grab these from the crunchbase api. How is this a competitor?

    It has one feature that's better than Crunchbase i.e. access Crunchbase with javascript turned off (my default) you get a blank screen with a page title of: "Access to this page has been denied". Whereas cujobay actually presents content right away - no js required.

    Fantastic UX.

    But I agree crunch base simply has a different use case.

    How can you add/suggest new startups?

    Love the UI. Catchy clickbait title though.
