Posted a new article that is a bit different for us – profiling private market intelligence company CB Insights, which has grown into a leading source of info for insurance companies and VC firms looking to invest in insuretech and fintech startups, among other things. They’ve carved out a niche by figuring out how to mine and interpret sets of big data using algorithms and AI to figure out what’s coming and potential opportunities it creates.

Basically they saw that VC firms and incumbent insurers wanted to invest in new technologies but they were relying on what they call the 3Gs: Google searches, Gut instinct and Guys with MBAs. Now investors are gravitating toward CB Insights’ evidence-based approach built on facts, data science and machine learning – which explains their dramatic growth and ever-increasing influence (their research is being cited by just about everyone these days it seems).
