Company Watchlists, rebuilt for how strategy and deal teams work
Company Watchlists are now a shared workspace for analyzing portfolios, competitors, or any group you create – not just tracking them.
AI Insight Columns let you apply custom analysis across every company in a list. Dashboards, Strategy Maps, and Top News sit alongside each Watchlist, making shifts easier to spot — and act on.
Alumni-founded companies: follow experienced operators into what’s next
When evaluating emerging companies, teams often start with familiar companies — and look at what’s come out of them.
Company and university profiles now include ventures founded by alumni, showing where experienced teams are building again.
Company data and Mosaic expansion: comprehensive coverage, stronger conviction
Private-company coverage exceeds 11 million companies, a 10% expansion that deepens visibility into early-stage and hard-to-track firms. Mosaic — our success probability score — now covers 230,000+ companies, representing more than 75% of venture-funded startups.
In benchmarking, Mosaic identifies 30% of unicorns that top-tier VCs miss, revealing opportunity where consensus sourcing falls short.
MCP integration: bring private-market context into your AI workflows
LLMs don’t have native access to validated private-market data — which limits the reliability of their work for real decisions.
Our new MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration gives your corporate LLM direct access to CB Insights’ predictive intelligence, producing analysis ready to use in decision-making. Available as an add-on.
