Hi there,
Today, I'm excited to announce our new partnership with the venerable media giant, Nikkei.
Nikkei will be translating select CB Insights reports into Japanese for its news publications including Nikkei Online Edition.
For readers in Japan (or those who read Japanese), the Nikkei has set up a great site discussing the partnership here.
Nikkei's managing director Yoshihiro Hirata said it best, "Our Japanese readers will receive significant benefits from the reports, and we intend to continue our collaboration with CB Insights."
Outrapreneur
The people have spoken and intrapreneurs are not a real thing (barely).
Most of those in the non-real camp said that intrapreneurs don't take any real risk and don't have real skin-in-the-game.
Of course, intrapreneurs took exception to that. If you want to weigh in, jump into the debate on Twitter or Instagram.
Beauty is truth, truth beauty
Shoppers' demand for transparency in beauty pricing is at an all-time high, prompting an emergence of new models for delivering quality, affordable cosmetics.
This is one of 13 trends we explore in our new Beauty Trends report. Read more here.

Game-changer
Amazon is leveling-up in the gaming space. Twitch, the video game broadcast site that Amazon bought for just under $1B, is now one of the largest bandwidth users in the US with 15M+ daily users.

A package deal
Insurers are teaming up with automakers and startups developing subscription car programs that would provide an all-inclusive package, including payments, maintenance, and insurance.
BMW, Cadillac, and Ford are among the automakers getting in on the subscription action. See the others here.

The Industry Standard
CB Insights data is the most trusted by those in the industry and the media. A few recent hits.
Bloomberg. Pavel Alpeyev (@pashakun) reports that three teams are still working to complete Google's race to the moon and references CB Insights research.
Financial Times. Yuan Yang (@yuanfenyang) and Sherry Fei Ju (@sherryjean) write about Didi Chuxing’s plan to beat Uber in the ride-hailing race and cite CB Insights data.
GeekWire. Lisa Stiffler (@lisa_stiffler) interviews “startup whisperer” Gillian Muessig (@SEOmom), who gives a shout-out to the CB Insights newsletter.
Happy Monday.
I love you.
