1/ Assessing the health / traction of private tech companies with data has been something folks have been talking about doing for a while

We @CBinsights were initially funded by a National Science Foundation SBIR grant to tackle this

And...
@CBinsights 2/ We built a score called Mosaic to try and track private company health

It quantifies 3 dimensions about private companies:

- Market
- Money
- Momentum

cbinsights.com/company-mosaic

It's done pretty well...
@CBinsights 3/ In 2015, we worked with the @nytimes to identify 50 Future unicorns and as of Feb 2019, 24 hit the $1B mark (48% of our picks hit the mark)

1/ Since founders often ask about the @CBinsights newsletter often as they're interested in starting their own, here are some thoughts
@CBinsights 2/ Subject lines matter a ton.

They are the headline. They matter a lot.

“On average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.”

— David Ogilvy
@CBinsights 3/ Some ppl whine about our subject lines (yet many stay subscribed)

It's all about getting you to open

Three yeard old post here which details some of the math behind this
