Case Study: Lockheed Martin accelerates innovation and decision-making with CB Insights

Accelerating a World-Renowned Business with a World-Class Intelligence Platform at Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin’s Aeronautics division needed a faster, more comprehensive way to identify emerging technologies, potential partners, and competitors while supporting strategic business and venture decisions. Using CB Insights, the team replaced time-consuming manual research and brainstorming with a single intelligence platform to better anticipate market changes and inform internal stakeholders.

CB Insights helped Lockheed Martin use features like Expert Collections and Mosaic Score to build reports in hours instead of days, share sharper presentations, and compare companies more quickly. The result was a more robust pipeline, better collaboration, and stronger decision-making; over four years, Lockheed Martin Venture Fund grew 4x to $400 million, while the team also reduced operational costs and the size of its group through digitized workflows.
