“CB Insights provides MESA with
financing and M&A data that has
proven invaluable on both the
investment banking and
investment sides of our business.
Having data feeds delivered to
our inboxes on a daily basis
saves us a ton of time and
uncovers transactions we wouldn't
have otherwise known about. And
when we need more detail, their
web platform provides user-
friendly search capabilities that
are a refreshing departure from
what we typically see in data
offerings.”
Andrew Montgomery
Partner
MESA+
“CB Insights provides our team
with a holistic and thematic
approach that really captures
market activity. In private
markets with fragmented
public, private and often
blogged deal data to parse
through we've found CBI to
have the best access for the
most accurate market view.”
