I expected the VERIFIED badges to link to some sort of provenance information. That seems like a must, otherwise (given the "assume everything's incorrect" disclaimers) I'm not sure why one would take that badge seriously.

Yeah, the "verified" badges are useless if they don't link to sources or at least provide some indication of how they were verified and when.

It sounds like none of the data will be reliable? Ai and community seems like very little will be true and I will have no idea which part will be true.

Crunchbase is also not very reliable. It's community/self-reported data.

Crunchbase is generally self reported data

I see quite outdated data. Anthropic listed with valuation 18B and latest round at 4b? Just to compare, their real latest round was 65b with valuation 965b.

It is unclear how I can list my company here. Are small companies coming later?
