CB Insights

Every month, we launch new predictive intelligence capabilities that help our customers make their next move first — identifying the right companies, markets, and opportunities before competitors do. Here are the latest upgrades: 🔮 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐬: 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 — 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 Strategy teams need to understand how competitors and partners are actually allocating capital — before moves show up in filings or press. Strategy Maps visualize how a company’s M&A, partnerships, and investments are evolving — revealing the strategy behind every move. Now, Strategy Maps are available on company profiles, with historical “rewind” and parent/subsidiary views, so you can spot changes over time and see what’s next. 🤖 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭: 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 — 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Evaluating a shortlist is where sourcing turns into side-by-side comparison — and teams need a clear way to see how companies differ. Our Shortlist Analyst is a power tool designed for this moment. Once you’ve narrowed to a shortlist using our Advanced Search filters, the agent analyzes them together — surfacing comparative strengths, risks, and patterns using CB Insights’ predictive intelligence. Teams get a shared, evidence-based view of which companies deserve time — fast. 🌐 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐝-𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐈 Teams are doing real work inside AI tools — but most models still reason from public, unverified information. That’s a problem when the decision matters. With the CB Insights integration for Anthropic Claude, questions asked in Claude can be answered using CB Insights’ predictive intelligence on private companies, markets, and competitors. The result is AI output grounded in validated data and structured context — not internet noise. Not an Anthropic shop? We integrate with other AI models, too. 🦄 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲: 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟑𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 Following “smart money” has long been a shortcut for sourcing — but it’s an incomplete one. Our latest study shows 30% of unicorns were not backed by top-decile VCs before they broke out — yet our Mosaic success probability score identified them earlier. Overall, Mosaic is 4.7x more predictive of future unicorn status than investments from top-tier venture firms. The study shows where consensus sourcing fails, why that creates blind spots, and how Mosaic surfaces opportunities others overlook. Learn more: cbi.team/49jRHsA

For more trends to watch in 2025: cbinsights.com/research/ai-ag…

For AI agents, specialization is key to success. While nearly half focus on horizontal applications like support, coding, and sales — securing $3.5B across 149 deals since 2020 — these markets are becoming oversaturated. To stay ahead in 2025, companies must go beyond basic AI features and embed deeper into workflows while leveraging proprietary data. Check out the data below:

Clinical development AI is holding strong despite a decline in funding. From 2021 to 2024, equity funding fell from $1.9B to $0.7B, but companies are still growing — headcount jumped 14% on average last year. Startup formation is also bouncing back as pharma doubles down on AI-driven trial tools. See the data below.
