CrunchBase is a very popular, free, web-based database about companies, startups, VCs, and people involved. It currently has information on 100,000+ Companies and over 150,000 people involved.
CrunchBase has recently teamed with
SiSense, developers of Prism big data analytics, to create interactive
dashboard and analysis tools on this data - see
Crunching CrunchBase. Best of all, these tools are free !
You can access this interface at www.crunchbase.sisense.com/
The interface and visualizations are still somewhat buggy
(
The Big Data Investment dashboard shows "undefined" in place of company names),
but you can export this data to Excel for further analysis. Here are a couple of interesting charts on Big Data startups.
We note the sharp peak in Big Data investments in 2011, and slight decline in 2012. The 2013 year is just beginning, so
it remains to be seen if the amount of investments will exceed 2012, but based on
the growing
Big Data backlash,
we expect that 2013 raised amount will be below 2012.
Below is a list of top 20 startups by raised amount:
Cloudera,
Mu Sigma,
Opera Solutions,
10gen,
Guavus,
ParAccel,
Talend,
GoodData,
DataXu,
Splunk,
DataStax,
1010data,
Couchbase,
Tidemark,
Platfora,
Factual,
MetaMarkets,
Hopper,
Lattice Engines,
RainStor.
