Mechanize returns `connect_nonblock': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3

Question

I am trying to scrape a Crunchbase page but i got this error:

ryzal~/Desktop/Sites/scraper$ ruby scraper.rb
/Users/Ryzal/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/http.rb:933:in `connect_nonblock': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello A: sslv3 alert handshake failure (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)

    from scraper.rb:10:in `<main>'

Below is the code:

require 'nokogiri'
require 'mechanize'
require 'json'


agent = Mechanize.new do |a|
  a.ssl_version = :TLSv1
end

page = agent.get "https://www.crunchbase.com/app/search/people/0b543c0d8ea4c95cdf78a48583d501da2a76b26c"

member_links = page.links_with(href: %r{.*/person/\w+})

member_links.map do |link|  
    puts member_counter

    member = link.click

    # Get name
    name = member.search('#profile_header_heading').text.strip
    puts "#{name}"
end 

I have tried both of these solutions:

Ruby Mechanize https error Mechanize getting "Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer - SSL_connect"

But still the same error persist.

Please help, thanks!

Try Following

agent = Mechanize.new
agent.agent.http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
