Every once in a while I start feeling like I'm a big deal and then I read that my Crunchbase rank is 151,395 and I feel a little more humble.
I didn't even know what a Crunchbase Rank was until 90 seconds ago and now I am determined with every fiber of my being to win at Crunchbase.
I'm pretty sure @timbray took that photo, too.
@evan Yeah and I don't recall Crunchbase asking my permission for commercial use.
@evan
It's a good photo. I wouldn't worry about winning at Crunchbase.
@neptune22222 this is exactly what someone who is trying to beat me at Crunchbase would say
@evan TIL Crunchbase is really out of date.
It's okay. I still do not know.
@evan I did not know CB rank was a thing, but (1) memories of Klout and (2) glancing at a few obvious (eg famous VCs, CEOs) profiles it seems you "win" (are not ranked) if you have identified investments.
Or maybe higher ranks just don't show unless you pay CB (which is why I rarely look at it, probably going to hit $-only data/paywall long before finding whatever I wanted to know).
@mlinksva i just rechecked and now I'm at 13K so I think it may be more about web hits than anything else.
@mlinksva it is fun, though, to read very old articles about identi.ca and realize that the shortcomings mentioned are just as relevant today as they were then.

@evan If it makes you feel better, you are in the top decile! I'm 10x places lower than you. https://www.crunchbase.com/person/dave-neary
