Predictive intelligence platform for private-company investment and strategy
CB Insights delivers data-driven intelligence on private companies to institutional investors and corporate strategists. The platform centers on the Mosaic Score, a predictive model designed to forecast private-company performance. The tech stack reveals a mature, scale-ready infrastructure: Go and Python for core services; Kafka for event streaming; PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB for polyglot persistence; and Kubernetes on AWS. Current hiring is concentrated in sales and customer-success roles while the backlog of projects (predictive renewal analytics, GTM dashboards, lead routing, onboarding improvements) points to internal friction around customer retention and operational efficiency.
