Spot founders in stealth

Engage top founders before your competitors do.

CB Insights now tracks 35,000+ founders building in stealth. We also added hard-to-find signals for founders nearing the end of their earn-out period after getting acquired and founders who raised multiple times from top investors.

Use our people search to pull the full list. Cut it by geography, industry, or previous experience, then set alerts so every new match lands in your inbox.

Track top AI and R&D talent

Find the most promising tech by following the best technical talent.

We’ve added 250,000 AI researchers, data scientists, engineers, and product builders. New signals surface research experience at the top labs and product experience at leading AI companies.

Use it to find new companies or compare the R&D capabilities of companies you already know.

Conduct deeper sourcing with an all new ChatCBI

Ask generic AI for a list of companies, and you’ll get well-known examples. Fine for beginners. Not for the boardroom.

We redesigned ChatCBI to source companies for corporate dealmakers. It builds complex research plans, searches companies and people together, and pulls from our proprietary company ratings. Plus, it now works in the background, so you never break your flow.

Reasoning like an expert strategist. Knowledge of the entire innovation economy. That’s boardroom-ready.
