Data Research Market Maps
Overview
CB Insights is a market-intelligence platform focused on private tech companies, pairing funding and company data with analyst research, market maps, and its Mosaic scores for private company health. Venture teams lean on it for landscape work — who plays where, which categories are heating up, where corporate money is flowing — and for the research briefs that compress a new market into an afternoon's reading. It skews strategy and research more than raw sourcing.
