CrunchBase is one of the most widely-used databases of technology companies, people, and investors. Financial companies and entrepreneurs use this dashboard to analyze investments, acquisitions, and start-ups all in real-time, and make the smartest investments possible.
Good points about the dashboard.
- The dashboard conveys all the important KPIs for the audience (Investors) in a very simplified manner.
- It solves the purpose of being interactive. Investors can filter by country, categories, type of investment, investment rounds, etc for global crunchbase data in a comprehensive manner.
- It has a summary on top of the dashboard which means the user gets an overall view of what is happening in the data. For e.g. Here, the important factors like total money raised, the number of investments, Median raised and No. of startups and their percentage growth which gives us an overview of the yearly change in the data.
- One color legend for the entire dashboard.
Improvements:
- Instead of representing the Funding by round graph in a pie chart, the user can use a different idiom like a bar chart which gives a comparative idea for each funding by round.
- Instead of mentioning the color legends at the bottom, the user could have defined color legends at the right-hand side so that the user of the dashboard is not required to scroll every time he wants to see what color is represented by what category.
