There has been a lot of bragging going on at Cloudspace lately. We are like proud momma bears. We created the Crunchinator and we think it’s pretty cool.

The Crunchinator is a free and open source tool to interactively slice, filter and research Crunchbase data. While the data on Crunchbase is fantastic, it is structured around sharing information for an individual company or investor. But its interface doesn’t allow you to easily gather broader information about technology companies, people and investors.

Crunchbase’s mission is to make information about the startup world available to everyone and maintainable by anyone. The Crunchinator’s mission is to make researching the information easier and, frankly, more fun.

Here are some cool searches from the last two weeks:
