CB Insights

CB Insights delivers tech market intelligence (funding data, industry trend analysis, competitor research) with a research-desk rigor that's rare for something delivered in email form. The company built its name on data products used by corporate strategy and venture teams, and the newsletter distills that research into a more casual weekly read.

What sets it apart from typical market-research output is tone: charts and data are paired with genuinely funny commentary, which keeps dense material readable. It's aimed at people who need to track startup and tech-market trends professionally but don't want it delivered like a quarterly report.
