CB Insights is a technology market intelligence platform founded in 2008 and commonly cited as launched in 2009. The company, headquartered in New York, aggregates qualitative and quantitative data on the technology economy to connect technology companies with advisers, investors, acquirers, and customers. CB Insights reached approximately $100 million in annual recurring revenue as of 2023, a milestone CEO Anand Sanwal referenced publicly during a conference presentation that year. The company raised a $10 million Series A in 2015 led by Pilot Growth Equity, with participation from the National Science Foundation and angel investors, bringing total known funding to between $11.7 million and $16.2 million. Sanwal has led the company since its founding, bootstrapping through the early years and selling the first several million dollars of subscriptions himself. CB Insights operates without a PR firm at the $100 million ARR level and relies heavily on its newsletter as a primary growth channel.
