NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CB Insights, the leader in predictive intelligence on private companies, today announced a new partnership with Perplexity, the AI-powered answer engine, that enables Perplexity Max and Pro users to access and cite information from a curated selection of CB Insights research reports directly in responses.

With the agreement, Perplexity is licensing access to information from a specific set of research reports on topics ranging from AI to crypto, energy tech and robotics, for use in answers to its paid user base. The capability is now live for Perplexity subscribers within Perplexity Computer and search, and gives them the ability to access information from the curated set of CB Insights research reports at the moment they’re asking questions.

Now available to Perplexity Max and Perplexity Pro users, the partnership brings trusted, high-value research into relevant answers and tasks, while CB Insights benefits from expanded reach. CB Insights also offers a deeper subscription-only integration with Perplexity via MCP or API, complementing its similar offerings for other LLMs and enterprise apps.

The curated selection of CB Insights research reports available as part of the Perplexity integration includes a range of proprietary formats, from startup rankings and visual market maps that categorize companies across an ecosystem, to industry briefings, analyses of major companies’ innovation activity, and early-stage funding trend reports.
