CB Insights, Inc.

CB Insights is a market intelligence platform that provides data and predictive analytics on private companies, startups, and emerging technology trends. Their services are primarily used by venture capital firms, investment banks, and corporate strategy and development teams to identify promising investments, track competitors, and understand market shifts. The platform analyzes millions of data points on companies, investors, and industries to provide insights into funding, partnerships, and market health. While CB Insights focuses on business data rather than sensitive personal information of the general public, it does compile information about company executives and key employees, which can be used for B2B lead generation and sales. The exposure of professional contact information and career history, while not as high-risk as public records sites, could potentially be used by bad actors for targeted phishing schemes or social engineering attacks against individuals in their professional capacity. To mitigate these risks, professionals should be cautious about the information they share on business networking sites and be aware of their company's data footprint.
