What we're all about:

CB Insights is the leader in predictive intelligence on private companies—turning exclusive data on millions of firms into early, trusted signals on future performance and direction. The company pioneered predictive intelligence with its Mosaic Score—the first system to reliably forecast the outlook for a private company—and has since built it into a comprehensive platform of AI and data capabilities. Today, leading strategy, investment, and business development teams rely on CB Insights to identify the right companies, markets, and opportunities before their competitors do.

CB Insights Leadership Principles:

1. Solve customer problems. It's our highest calling. Designing a product? Start from the customer problem it solves. Updating our sales process? Flip it around, and simplify the customer buying process.
2. Think BIG! Start small. Great changes start with a first step. Find it. Take it. Build a system around what works. This is the secret to bringing a vision to life.
3. Go and see with your own eyes. Meet the customer, use the product, talk to the field. Great systems aren't built from afar.
4. Priorities: Choose one. Leaders give the gift of clarity. They find the most important thing and do it. Max power. Top speed.
5. Danger zones:

• Bureaucracy. May the best ideas and execution win.
• Complexity. Leaders use frameworks and systems to simplify.
• No commitment. Leaders don't compromise just to get along. Debate. Disagree. But once a decision is made, commit.
• Leaving what's important unsaid or undone. No "circling back."
