Is there a Wordpress plugin available that would allow me to re-produce the functionality of the Crunchbase?
N.B. I don't want to use Crunchbase's data (I know any site can embed their widget) - we want to run our own database covering the area relevant to our blog.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You could however pay someone to create it for you. I'd estimate that it's probably about 1 or 2 days work. (Assuming the way it would work is to have a screen in the admin to enter company info. And to have a way of choose company info to be shown with each post.)

I'd slightly modify the plugin by adding a function that would scan my post for company names. Then, I would retrieve the RSS data from Google or Yahoo news/finance and display it on the page. This would result in a targeted,contextually generated section on the page while still giving me full control over the look, feel and operation of the news.
Alternatively, you need to import the company records & details from a source maybe like one of the business listing DVD vendors.
Both solutions require a little programming.

That's not the question I asked - I want to display additional data, from a database source, at the end of posts like the Crunchbase widget does on techcrunch.com (for example). It is used to display company and biographical data relevant to the post.
My question does not relate to backing up the Wordpress database.
