Develop a state-of-the-art product. Make sense of the future. Use data to drive business.
At CB Insights, we’re building a superhuman AI analyst for corporate strategy.
We provide the world’s leading enterprises and most ambitious investors with instant insights to bet on the right markets, stay ahead of competitors, and source the right companies.
We collect millions of structured and unstructured data points from thousands of sources; analyze them with AI to generate profiles and reports about markets and companies; and deliver those insights through a web and mobile application, a browser extension, a public API, data feeds, and integrations.
Together with engineering and design, our product team sets the pace of innovation for our customers. We launch new capabilities every month to solve their problems, and do not hesitate to take advantage of the latest technologies, especially in artificial intelligence.
Our mission is to democratize access to insight the same way the internet democratized access to information. Come join us.
