Backed by the National Science Foundation, CB Insights uses data science and machine learning to help our customers predict what’s next—their next customer, their next investment, the next market they should attack, or the next company they should acquire.

The world’s leading global corporations including the likes of Cisco, Salesforce, Castrol and Gartner as well as top tier VCs including, NEA, Upfront Ventures, RRE, and FirstMarkCapital rely on CB Insights to make decisions based on data, not decibels.

In God we trust, all others must bring dataA unique combination of data science and machine learning to help you make data-driven decisions

”A detailed discussion of data collection and how the company parses them is written by CB Insights’ data scientists; it convincingly tells the story of scalability and accuracy for what they call “The Cruncher.”
