Parameters

Parameter	Type		Notes
sort	string · query	optional	`asc` for best first, `desc` for worst first. · one of asc, desce.g. `asc`
page	integer · query	optional	Page number, starts at 1. Pages must be requested sequentially (1, 2, 3…) — skipping ahead returns 400. · default 1e.g. `1`
location	string · query	optional	Where the person is based — city/region/country slug, UUID, or free-form name (fuzzy-matched via autocomplete). Examples: `san-francisco-california` (city), `california` (region), `united-states` (country). Browse slugs: `/autocomplete/location`.
min_partner_investments	integer · query	optional	Show only people with at least this many partner-level investments. Useful for finding active VCs.
rank_max	integer · query	optional	Show only people ranked this good or better (lower rank = more prominent).
description_contains	string · query	optional	Free-text match on the person's short bio / description. Example: `founder` matches bios mentioning founder experience.
q	string · query	optional	Find people whose name contains this text (case-insensitive). `q=john` finds John Doerr, Elton John, Johnny Ive, Mary Johnson… Note: `/company/search` uses starts-with, but Crunchbase's person catalog only supports substring — so `q` works differently on the two endpoints.
company	string · query	optional	Show only people whose current primary organization is this company. Accepts name, slug, or UUID. E.g. `company=stripe` returns people like Patrick Collison, Claire Hughes Johnson. Ex-employees are not matched (primary-org is current only). If you want the full People tab as shown on Crunchbase's company page (key employees + advisors, including post-acquisition employees whose primary org has flipped to the acquirer), use `/company/people` instead.
job_title_contains	string · query	optional	Free-text match on the person's current job title (case-insensitive substring). Examples: `CEO`, `engineer`, `head of product`.
per_page	integer · query	optional	How many results per page (max 15). · default 5e.g. `5`
min_investments	integer · query	optional	Show only people with at least this many investments (across all funding rounds). Useful for finding active investors.
is_investor	string · query	optional	Filter by investor status. `yes` = only investors, `no` = only non-investors, `any` = no filter. · one of any, yes, noe.g. `any`
order_by	string · query	optional	Field to sort by. `rank_person` = Crunchbase's overall prominence (use `asc` for 'most well-known first'). `identifier` = alphabetical by name. `num_partner_investments` = number of investments as a partner (use `desc` for most active VCs). `num_exits` = number of portfolio exits (use `desc` for most successful investors). Pagination: only `rank_person` supports paging past page 1. The other sorts return the top 15 results — requesting `page>1` with those fails with 400. · one of rank_person, identifier, num_partner_investments, num_exitse.g. `rank_person`
gender	string · query	optional	Filter by gender. `not_provided` matches profiles without gender on file. · one of any, male, female, non_binary, other, not_providede.g. `any`
born_after	string · query	optional	Include only people born on or after this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`).
rank_min	integer · query	optional	Show only people ranked this or worse (higher rank = less prominent). Pair with `rank_max` to target a range.
min_exits	integer · query	optional	Show only people with at least this many portfolio exits. Useful for finding successful investors.
born_before	string · query	optional	Include only people born on or before this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`).
