CBinsights

As any follower of this blog has probably noticed, we avoid all advertising, or even pimping products or services in content. We like to stay completely independent, unbeholden to all.

However, every blue moon or so, something comes along that is so superior in its niche that one is simply gob-smacked with just how well it is done. One is swept up by the rising tide, and can no longer stand idly by and leave any few remaining to wallow in ignorance.

Introducing, in case you've been living under a rock, CBinsights, an all-knowing repository of all things VC, tech, startups, M&A, yadda-yadda-yadda, and even a bit of humor thrown in for good measure. Their data is the best, most complete, and so well and creatively presented that there is simply no competition. What's not to like, right?

As a taste, here's a recent presentation (pdf) to Silicon Valley Bank in New York, a wide ranging overview of the facts and madness that is our milieu.
