Likely much faster ways of going through this but to expand on your thought:
#!/bin/bash
for (( i=1; $i < 1250646; i++))
do
curl -s http://www.crunchbase.com/search/advanced/people/$i | grep advanced_search_query | cut -d\" -f12 >> people.txt
done
http://www.crunchbase.com/search/advanced/people/1250638
Interestingly it looks like people search gets hit much more often than company search which is the opposite of what I would have guessed.
I wonder how long it's going to take for someone to make a high-score table of the most searched founders and startups ;-)
