Chose CB Insights
Pitchbook has better cap table data for tracking investors.
Chose CB Insights
Pitch book was our favorite resource, until we started using CB Insights. CB Insights just has far better coverage and include very extensive private company intelligence too which adds a level of customer insight accuracy that no one else can.
Chose CB Insights
Traditional research services by market and product just can't keep up anymore, in my opinion. We had to seek out who could, and our choice of CB Insights two years ago has proven to be one of the smartest choices we've ever made.

have not tried many other providers, but know DealRoom has excellent reputation
Chose DealRoom

it is difficult to compare since the quality of a data room depends heavily on the uploader and how organize she/he is. Since it is the first time I am using DealRoom it is hard to come up with a comparison.

I did not select DealRoom, our client did.

Chose DealRoom
DealRoom has a much better interface and a much faster download features. While most VDRs have the same features, the little improvements in UX and navigation go a long way to ensure that the users are happy and their time is saved. I didn't really select DealRoom. It was the …

Transparency - we were reading a lot of hype about Bitcoin, and it was in every market sector. Those of us who remember 2001, were alarmed. But digging through to find the truth was a challenge. CB Insights provided regular, extensive data every week, more often at the peak. We are certain our own analysis was correct based on that and stopped worrying that we might have missed a market opportunity.

In my experience, I found it to be great for project and task management. When something comes up for me to work on, I am assigned a task with all of the necessary information, e.g. resources, description, and urgency. I work remotely so it has made staying connected and informed easy and efficient

  • DealRoom doesn't currently have an option for automatic weekly user analytics. I hope to see this feature implemented soon.
  • The software is easy to use, as mentioned before, however, utilizing the setting buttons for folder structures can be difficult to understand at first.

Return on Investment
  • Positive in both volume and detail of the most relevant information upon which to make key strategic decisions.
  • It's not an inexpensive service, but worth the price given the accuracy, timeliness and criticality of the information they are able to provide.
  • Strategy - strategy - strategy! There's no way anyone could gather that much intelligence in just one stop with any other service.

  • It helped us manage documents and share info between our firm and the potential investors and clients. And also helped to manage internal processes and keep an eye on everything in the company.
