MoneyTree™ FAQs

Q: I can only view aggregate level information. What happened to company level data and the login feature?

A: The website no longer has a login function and users are no longer able to drill down to the company level. Due to changes to terms and conditions for use of data, the MoneyTree Report website will only provide aggregate level data. No users, including VCs, will have access to company level information on the website. For company level information, please contact our data provider, CB Insights, at info@cbinsights.com.

Q: How does the MoneyTree reporting define regions and metro areas?

CSA is a classification the represents a combination (more than one) adjacent statistical areas in the United States and Puerto Rico that can demonstrate economic or social linkage
