đĄ Use Cases: How to Turn CB Insights Into a Dark Money Map
1. Digital Real Estate Sniper
- Identify trending categories (e.g. "AI Copilots for Legal")
- Buy the
.ai,.tech,.xyz, or exact-match .coms for those emerging verticals - Park affiliate pages or cloaked offers
- Sell back to VC-backed startups 6 months later
2. Parasite SEO Hijacks
-
Each CB Insights report lists startup names and their industry
-
Build Medium/Quora/Reddit parasite pages targeting:
- âBest alternatives to [startup name]â
- â[Startup name] vs legacy toolsâ
- âWhy [category] will explode in 2025â
-
Rank those SERPs and reroute traffic to affiliate offers
3. "Shadow Newsletter" Arbitrage
- Scrape insights from CB reports
- Repackage as a paid Substack or Notion newsletter
- Target degens, agency owners, or solo VCs with âwhatâs nextâ playbooks
4. Expired Patent & Dead Brand Flip
- CB reports mention corporate bets that fizzled
- Check for domains or trademarks left behind
- Relaunch or rebuild â then use their old press mentions to legitimize the rebrand
5. Corporate Misstep Counterplays
- Watch whoâs building bloated âplatform playsâ
- Build leaner, no-code alternatives targeting the same promise
- Launch micro SaaS or MVPs to flip fast â before the corp even ships v1

Use it like a thief. Flip like a capitalist. Monetize like a ghost.
