CB Insights Reviews & Product Details

As a startup founder, CB Insights has been invaluable for our go-to-market and sales strategy. The platform gives us enterprise-level market intelligence without the enterprise price tag. I particularly love being able to identify which companies are raising funding, expanding into new markets, or showing signs of growth - these are perfect signals for our sales team to prioritize outreach. The industry reports and trend analyses have directly shaped our positioning and messaging. The Chrome extension is a nice touch too - makes it easy to research prospects on the fly during sales calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, not much. Sometimes I wish the search functionality was a bit more intuitive, and occasionally the data on very early-stage companies (pre-seed) can be sparse, but that's understandable given how stealth those companies operate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent database of vendors for digital projects, they have curated set of collection of vendors with scoring provided for each. The support is also quite good, the backend team responds in a day for any queries. The research reports are also quite good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is little complex to use, especially the advanced search functionality. They can make it more user friendly by adding drag and drop options etc. The expert collection of startups are also underwhelming. They can work on it to keep it updated, peers like Tracxn are going way ahead here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CBInsights provides up to date collection of VC funding in emerging technologies areas such as AI, Cyber, Climate Tech among others. It also has a feature of expert collection with pre-tagged deals which helps in quick analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have experienced that compared to its competitor database (Tracxn, Pitchbook), there are limited "expert collections" - so every time i end up building a query to create my own collection of startups for a particular use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good database of emerging tech starups with expert collections and good quality research reports. The feature of using ready made marketmaps and presentation is excellent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is little clunky, it takes time to get used to it. Even the support seems a bit slow compared to real time support provided by the peers such as Tracxn . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good looking dashboards, neural/graph data formats, etc. Also, the research reports that they publish are quite good. Notably the ones covering the VC landscape in terms of what specific investors are doing in each industry. There's also a news-like quality to reading their reports where they feel more timely than the standard quarterly reports that other platforms such as Pitchbook publishes. In terms of data, overall CB Insights has the majority of core deal information. The sales person was also very knowledgeable on the solution and helpful in discussing what they are working on in terms of product roadmap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Doesn't have the plugins and extra functionalities of other platforms such as functions within Excel, Salesforce, etc. Also the contact information isn't as populated as other sites such as Pitchbook. However, after talking with the sales rep it sounds like a lot of these things are on the roadmap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brilliantly analyzes in real-time every and any marketplace that you are looking to best understand,. They have access to private company data. But the team that adds their own intelligence is even bette than the AI they use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing I can really think of. CB insights really does a great job at what they do. One thing I should mention is this software does not come cheap! It is quite pricey so just be aware of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
