Landscapes expanded to 100+ categories
Unique to CB Insights, Landscapes instantly show you where a company sits – technology stack, business model, focus area and more – and we’ve just launched v2 to make it even better.
Landscapes v2 now covers 4 million companies, with 700,000 placed into our 100+ technology categories, and the most important 30,000 companies placed by our analysts into 1,700+ granular markets.
This instant visibility gives you the richest view of all the startups that matter, so you can source and act on the right companies even faster.
Funding Window v2 – a predictive map of likely funding
Last month we announced our global leadership in equity funding deal data and how that world-leading dataset powers Fundraising Window: a visual view of when private companies are likely to raise their next round.
It works by benchmarking a company against a set of its peers, and Fundraising Window v2 now adds more transparency on which peers are in the window. It also extends the feature into LLMs via MCP server.
While other platforms track what happened in the past, CB Insights helps you predict what will happen next. If you work in corporate strategy or business development, and the timing of private company funding matters to you, Funding Window is a ‘secret weapon’ to move faster than your rivals.
Watchlists add powerful new workspace features
CB Insights watchlists just became even more effective as a shared workspace to source and screen companies. They now support formatted number and date columns, bulk editing of pick-list columns, and an “add to list” feature on our Search and Markets pages.
What this means: the wider sourcing and screening process can – in an increasing number of cases – live inside this highly customizable workspace, shared between you and your team. (BTW we’re also adding “transfer ownership” of Watchlists, a very nifty new feature. Multi-player!)
The result: less time copy-pasting between the web and spreadsheets, and more time on finding and acting on the private companies that move your business.
