    You searched: "cb insights alternative"

    Need investor data without the $50K price tag?

    CB Insights is incredible for market intelligence. But if you just need to find investors who fund startups like yours, there's a founder-friendly alternative.

    Sound familiar?

    Enterprise pricing only

    CB Insights charges $50,000+ per year for access. That pricing model excludes the founders who need investor data most.

    Sales call required

    Can't even see pricing without talking to sales. By the time you know the cost, you've wasted hours.

    Built for VCs, not founders

    CB Insights is designed for investors doing market research, not founders trying to find the right investor match.

    Overkill for investor outreach

    You don't need market intelligence and trend data. You need investor emails and their investment thesis.

    Investor research shouldn't require enterprise budgets

    AngelBacked gives you what you actually need: a searchable database of 58,000+ angel investors and VCs with verified contact information. Start searching in seconds, not weeks.

    • Search by location, industry, or investment stage
    • See portfolio companies and investment history
    • Get verified email addresses and LinkedIn profiles
    • Start free—no sales call required
