Overview

CB Insights provides company and market intelligence for venture investors, corporate strategy and innovation teams, M&A, sales and business development. Its official platform pages describe searchable company, investor, market and technology information, funding and deal activity, business relationships, analyst research, market profiles, watchlists and alerts. The Strategy Terminal combines proprietary data and analysis tools; API and data-feed options deliver selected datasets into customer systems. Official materials describe ChatCBI and AI-assisted research, plus integrations for Salesforce, Snowflake and Microsoft 365 Copilot. The April 2026 product announcement adds a Funding Window predictive indicator, expanded global equity deal coverage and native Claude and ChatGPT connectors. The official site does not publish standard paid subscription rates; buyers are directed to request a quote. It separately advertises a 10-day free trial. Data-feed pricing and access depend on the selected package and usage.
