How to Enrich Leads from Crunchbase in n8n

Turn a Crunchbase company URL into structured company data plus a short AI-written sales brief. Put your CRM or spreadsheet's "new lead" trigger in front of it and every new lead gets enriched automatically.

What you'll build

  • Structured company data from a Crunchbase URL
  • A 2-sentence AI sales brief ready for outreach
  • Wire in your CRM / Google Sheets trigger and write the brief back
  • Swap the scraper for G2 (software) or Google Maps (local businesses)
