Business & financefree + paid
Subscription research on startups, venture funding, and tech markets. The free newsletter and public report PDFs are the importable part.
CB Insights does paid research on startups and venture funding that shows up in its free newsletter and occasional public report PDFs, which is the part a notebook can use. That's enough to ground a notebook on a funding trend or market segment, though the depth of data in the free tier is much thinner than what subscribers see.

Company and market research pages often sit behind a login — the free report PDF or public blog post is usually the importable version.
