Tech tea leaves
Technology is now central to every industry, from construction to healthcare to food production.
How will tech transform industries in 2019? Our analysts look back at a year's worth of research, data, and reports to answer that question.
Download our new report to see the 14 top tech trends to watch next year.
Don’t hate. Celebrate.
YouTube’s highest earner is a 7-year-old who reviews toys.
But you need not feel bad.
At least you have work-life balance.
Follow that car!
The auto industry is going through some monumental changes. Autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and sharing require unprecedented new capabilities.
So big tech companies are stepping up, bringing to the table their software, processing hardware, battery technology, and more.
In our new deep dive, we examine where Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Apple (FAMGA) are investing and how they're driving innovation in auto and mobility.
Game respects game
Bloomberg with a  headline.
 Snip, snip
Healthcare providers are looking to cut costs by automating scheduling, claims submission, billing processes, and more.
We've identified 20 startups that are helping them do just that. Expert Intelligence clients can check them out here.
Take it personally
As more data is collected about individuals, companies can understand them more intimately and market to them more precisely.
This year, for example, Spotify partnered with Ancestry.com to create unique playlists for users based on their DNA data.
In 2019, we'll see more cross-industry collaborations like this to offer users more individualized products. We discuss this and more in our 14 Trends Shaping Tech report. Download it here.
You like podcasts, eh?
I recently sat down with Harry Stebbings on his Twenty Minute VC podcast. We covered:
-
How to write B2B content that isn’t garbage
-
The best interview questions
-
The foie-gras’ing of startups & getting them addicted to capital
-
Why hiring for pedigree is overrated
-
How more capital would have killed CB Insights
If any of the above are of interest, check it out here.
 It's electric
Electric vehicles still make up a small fraction of global automotive sales, but with more aggressive government incentives and improvements in vehicle design, the number of EVs on the road will increase substantially.
From vehicle manufacturing to battery technology to sharing platforms, we map out 60+ startups looking to capitalize on the shift to EVs. Clients can see them all here.
The Industry Standard
CB Insights data is the most trusted by those in the industry and the media. A few recent hits.
Forbes. Alejandro Cremades (@acremades) gives advice about pitching to investors and refers to CB Insights.
CNBC. Kate Rooney (@kr00ney) reports that fintech startup Plaid has raised $250M, bringing its valuation to $2.7B, and references CB Insights data.
Glossy. Emma Sandler (@emmasandler) discusses the record-breaking year for beauty investments and quotes CB Insights senior CPG analyst Anagha Hanumante (@anaghahanumante).
I love you.
