Crunchbase Company People API: Team, Board and Advisors

Retrieve a role-filtered people roster for one company. The required company parameter accepts a Crunchbase organization permalink, UUID or organization profile URL. Choose employees, advisors, board or alumni with role; employees is the documented default. The optional page parameter defaults to 1 and accepts pages 1-100. The documented page size is 10. Documented response, not live-verified: the supplied example contains company, founders, role, employees_count, advisors_count, contacts_count, count, current_page, per_page, total_pages, next, previous and items. The company object and each founders entry contain id, uuid, name, type, link and image. Each items entry represents a person-role association with id, person, title, company, job_type, is_current, started_on, started_on_precision, ended_on, ended_on_precision and featured_order. The nested person object contains id, uuid, name, type, link and image. In the example, title and person identifiers are populated, but company, job_type, is_current, employment dates, date precision and featured_order are null. Do not infer current employment or exact tenure from those null fields. No successful live probe was supplied for this endpoint, so the example field layout and pagination behavior remain unverified. Treat the roster as available listed profiles, not a complete employee directory; contacts_count is a count, not verified email or telephone contact data.

API Features

Four organizational role views Select employees, advisors, board or alumni for the same company identifier instead of mixing distinct organizational relationships.

Person identities alongside job titles The documentation example pairs each available title with a nested person record containing identifiers, a name, an image and a profile link.

Documented ten-profile pages Request pages 1-100; the example exposes count, current_page, per_page, total_pages and navigation references for a paged roster interface.

Founders and roster counters Keep the documented founders array and employee, advisor and contact counts separate from the selected role list and its pagination count.

Explicit gaps in tenure evidence Employment dates, date precision, job_type and is_current are null in the supplied example, allowing interfaces to show unknown values rather than invented tenure.

Frequently asked questions

What can I pass as the company value?

Use the organization permalink, a Crunchbase organization UUID or its organization profile URL. The supplied example uses openai; use a confirmed organization identity to avoid confusing similarly named companies.

Which roles can I request?

The documented values are employees, advisors, board and alumni. If role is omitted, the documented default is employees. These views describe different relationships and should not be combined into one unlabeled staff list.

How does the people list paginate?

The documented page size is 10 and page accepts integers from 1 through 100, defaulting to 1. The example includes count, current_page, per_page, total_pages, next and previous. This endpoint was not live-probed, so verify actual pagination with your own permitted request before relying on it.

Can I determine whether someone still works at the company?

Not reliably from the supplied example: is_current, started_on and ended_on are null, as are their date-precision fields. A listed title alone does not establish current employment or a precise employment period.

Does this return a complete employee directory or verified contacts?

No such completeness or contact-data guarantee is supported. The example documents available people profiles, titles, founders and aggregate counts. contacts_count does not itself provide email addresses or telephone numbers.
