Feature Request: Add Native Integrations for PitchBook and Crunchbase #5487
Description
🚀 Feature Request
Add native integrations for PitchBook and Crunchbase as supported providers within Nango.
These platforms are widely used across venture capital, private equity, corporate development, and financial intelligence workflows, and native connectors would significantly expand Nango’s applicability in financial and investment data ecosystems.
🎯 Motivation
Nango already provides excellent infrastructure for managing OAuth flows, token refresh, and unified API access across SaaS integrations. However, there is currently no standardized connector for major financial intelligence providers such as:
- PitchBook
- Crunchbase
These are core data sources for investment firms and portfolio intelligence platforms.
Teams building investment tooling currently must implement custom connectors outside Nango, which defeats part of Nango’s value proposition as a centralized integration layer.
💼 Example Use Cases
1. Venture Capital / Private Equity Platforms
- Sync portfolio company metadata
- Fetch funding rounds & valuations
- Track investors and ownership structures
- Monitor market signals
2. Internal Deal Intelligence Systems
- Company enrichment workflows
- Automated CRM enrichment
- Deal sourcing pipelines
3. AI / Agentic Systems
- Structured company data ingestion
- Research automation
- Investment monitoring agents
🔧 Proposed Integrations
PitchBook
Potential endpoints:
- Company profiles
- Financials
- Funding rounds
- Investors

🧩 Proposed Nango Connector Scope
Minimal initial connector:
- Authentication handling
- Standardized company lookup endpoint

- Investor relationships
Optional future expansions:
- Incremental sync support
- Webhook/event ingestion
- Bulk dataset sync
📦 Why This Fits Nango
Adding these integrations would:
- Expand Nango into financial data integrations
- Unlock PE/VC/FinTech developer adoption
- Reduce custom connector maintenance burden
- Enable AI-native financial applications to standardize integrations
