CB Insights

We used to have an internal team, who was responsible for developing strategies by evaluating market trends. We have replaced this with CB Insights. CB Insights takes care of all that for us. We just have to make sure we invest in potential firms.

It is highly suited for mid-size to large-scale firms. For small-scale firms, I don't think it will be feasible to have CB Insights. If you are not ready to have your own research team, or you think your team is not competent enough, You should definitely go for CB Insights.

CBInsights is part of our investment opportunity sourcing platform. We use the system to identify new companies and benchmark the traction of existing companies to their cohorts. Additionally, we use their contact information features to obtain the email addresses of key executives and founders as needed. We also use the platform for general market research.

It is great for investment teams looking for new opportunities. Good for inside sales teams looking for well-funded clients.

I am responsible for growing Creating The Future Today, which means i need to have the most intelligent, unbiased reporting on what the future holds. That has always been difficult to obtain from the historical providers of software analysts. My priority is to create what our customers need, and that needs to supported by the most accurate data I can find. That is what we find in CB Insights.

Transparency - we were reading a lot of hype about Bitcoin, and it was in every market sector. Those of us who remember 2001, were alarmed. But digging through to find the truth was a challenge. CB Insights provided regular, extensive data every week, more often at the peak. We are certain our own analysis was correct based on that and stopped worrying that we might have missed a market opportunity.

We are actively engaged in three very fast moving industries which makes it extremely important to stay up-to-date with a broad spectrum of changes, players and potential competitors. Traditional sources of such information were not meeting our needs. So after much research we discovered, tested and are now extremely pleased with CB Insights. While I and my CCO are the primary users for strategy, we are able to share info with the rest of our team, as needed.

If you too are engaged in any fast moving industries, or are seeking to because you see disruption happening, this is the best service for ensuring you fully inderstand at a very deep insight level, the who/what/when/where and why of those changes.

They report on private companies as well which is extremely difficult info to access in such a timely manner on your own.
