@Comatmebro: - Pardon me if my tagging you here is inappropriate.
Context
CB Insights is one of the top three (by usage and revenue) market intelligence platforms for tracking venture capital, and funding activities for private companies. Link from one of CB Insights' competitors here.
The company is considered a leader in its domain and a simple test would be searching CB Insights on Wikipedia and seeing the number of articles, particularly in the private equity, venture capital domains. Link here.
The company is quite a significant one in the private equity / venture capital / startup investments domain because it fills a void that very few can fill. i.e. market intelligence / venture capital information for private startups. Currently, they are tracking an annual revenue of ~50ドル million, and have ~300 employees.

Feedback
The feedback noting that the platform has no distinguishing features from other platforms is not accurate. But, I think the distinction we want to make here is that this is for CB Insights as a company, while the platform is a product.
- Understood - I'm not going to fight you here. To me it looks like a very boiler plate yellow pages ad for whatever a market intelligence platform is..or is this about a company? Hard to tell...and, it's notable because it "fills a void?" Really? Literally anything can fill a void...that doesn't make it notable enough for it's own WP article. Just doesn't seem encyclopedic to me, but again I won't fight you on it. Comatmebro (talk) 22:37, 9 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
- PS I just saw your post in the TeaHouse. A lot of the feedback you've already received elaborates on why I proposed the deletion in the first place. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Comatmebro (talk) 22:42, 9 July 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
