MCP upgraded – plug predictive intelligence into any LLM
We have extended our MCP offering (available as an add-on) and now connect to every major LLM, including Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity and others. By connecting your LLM to CB Insights, you’ll get more accurate, up-to-date, and grounded answers.
Our MCP integration is the most comprehensive available. Where other platforms only expose a limited subset of their data, our MCP server fuels your LLM with a comprehensive feed of verified company, market, investor, and competitor data, including non-public deals not available anywhere else, and proprietary predictive scoring and insights.
This approach reduces hallucinations and makes outputs more useful for real business work. It also creates a more practical enterprise workflow for market mapping, diligence, sourcing, and competitive analysis, with more controlled and maintainable access to external tools and data.
Landscapes – see where
a company fits
Landscapes make it easier to understand the space a company operates in — and find similar companies. Available on the company profile, Landscapes bring together industry, technologies, markets, business models, and more in one unified view.
That gives strategy and deal teams a faster way to source comparable companies, uncover competitors, and expand their view of a market. Powered by CB Insights’ proprietary taxonomies and scaled with data science, Landscapes already cover 3.4 million companies, with more to come. Because they’re built on dynamic tags, they evolve as the company changes.
ChatCBI 3.0 – predictive sourcing
ChatCBI 3.0 activates 60+ advanced search filters to build private-company lists that matter — before they’re obvious.
Ask: “List acquisition targets in AI infrastructure that are pre-Series D and showing positive revenue or headcount growth.” ChatCBI converts that query into precise search logic across 11M+ companies using fundamentals, market taxonomies, and predictive scores. The result: comprehensive target lists built for actual sourcing workflows.
The logic is transparent and under your control. Narrow to the right targets using business relationships, deals, investors, funding and other fine-grained filters. Then save the results to Watchlists and track how targets evolve.
ChatCBI continues to power market analysis, company deep dives, and competitive intelligence — all running on the same upgraded engine.
Incomplete deals – notable transactions that haven’t closed
CB Insights has comprehensive global deal coverage, with more US deals than any other platform, including many non-public deals sourced directly from investors. In March, we extended that lead by adding incomplete deals. These are the transactions that are rumored, pending or canceled, which can still provide a very valuable signal.
The data includes M&A, funding, reverse acqui-hire and IPO events, and we only include potential transactions backed by substantial reporting, company announcements, or regulatory filings – not by hearsay. Incomplete deals are not counted in rollups like quarterly funding totals.
