Instead of Community Data
Community Data alternatives
Community Data gives developers and other data users an open database of more than 1 million people and companies, with an initial focus on the startup ecosystem. Its records are JSON documents organized around schemas for people, companies, locations, sectors, funding stages and curated collections. A public GraphQL API supports custom applications, and anyone can contribute records or build enhancer scripts that structure information from public APIs or websites. It is free, with web and API access, and includes company profiles and funding data.

That flexible, collaborative approach may not suit readers who need deeper company research, regional coverage, founder matching or ready-made search tools. Its editor is a proof of concept that uses GitHub authentication, contributions are made through a repository, and schema changes go through pull requests and monthly governance calls. When switching, consider whether you need broad company and investor research, source-linked funding records, curated opportunities, or startup coverage focused on a particular region. Also compare how each product handles access, exports, pricing and the level of detail available without a paid plan.
