FUNDR AISE FASTER
Target the right investors quickly with insight into their past
investments, investment preferences, dry powder and
more. With up-to-date contact information and LinkedIn
integration, the Platform makes it easy to contact
potential investors.
TR ACK THE MARKET
See where your competitors are getting funding and making
investments to get a better understanding of the trends
driving your industry. If M&A is part of your growth strategy,
the Platform can help you identify companies that fit your
preferences and are primed for acquisition.
NEGOTIATE WITH CONFIDENCE
When you have access to hard-to-find information about
similar companies—like pre- and post-money valuations,
round-by-round cap tables and detailed series terms—you
can more accurately value your company and negotiate
with investors.
Wouldn’t you rather spend time realizing your vision than tracking down investors?
The PitchBook Platform is the most comprehensive VC, PE and M&A database—
with the information you need for more efficient fundraising, business development
and inorganic growth.

GROW YOUR BUSINESS
See which companies are growing fast, have capital to
spend and likely need your products or services with
data like employee counts, valuations and financing details.
You can also track financing events to see when companies
are undergoing big changes and reach out at the right time.
“PitchBook’s daily news alerts, market insights and research
tools were very helpful to us as we completed our Series B
financing. Their friendly, proactive customer success team
regularly checked in to ensure we received the full, extensive
value of the Platform.”

3 RE ASONS T HE PI TCHBOOK PL AT FORM IS T HE BES T CHOICE FOR YOU
PITCHBOOK HAS THE BEST INVESTOR DATA
The PitchBook Platform houses comprehensive information on more than
200,000 investors—including investments by industry and year, stated
preferences, team members, co-investors, exits and contact information.
Many of our competitors offer unverified data, but PitchBook has researchers
who contact dealmakers directly to confirm information. With our data, you’ll
only spend time perusing promising investors and raise your next round faster.
PITCHBOOK HAS THE BEST PRIVATE COMPANY AND DE AL DATA
Most of our competitors only report post-money valuations or rumored pre-money
valuations. The Platform offers tens of thousands of calculated pre-money
venture valuations, along with cap tables and detailed series terms.
None of our competitors can help you determine your company’s valuation and
execute deals the way PitchBook can, because none of our competitors offer
deal data this deep.
PITCHBOOK IS THE BEST TOOL FOR EXPANDING YOUR BUSINESS
Whether you’re looking for potential clients or acquisition targets, the Platform
has the data you need—like valuations, growth metrics and financing details.
None of our competitors—whose data is either incomplete or siloed into
disconnected datasets—can offer as complete of a look at private companies.
The Platform is hands down the best choice for finding M&A and business
development opportunities.

W E H AV E T HE DATA YOU NEED• Angel investors
• Venture capital firms
• Private equity firms
• Strategic acquirers
• Companies
• Deals & deal metrics
• Pre- & post-money valuations
• Series terms
• Cap tables
• Professionals
• Advisors & service providers
HO W W E C OL L EC T DATASome of our competitors tout their algorithm-based research process—but scanning
web sources isn’t enough. PitchBook’s web crawlers scan more sources than our
competitors’. Plus, hundreds of researchers cross-verify the data we collect, calculate
information you can’t find online and contact dealmakers and advisors directly.
Algorithms don’t do a good job of reading the fine print or understanding nuance.
Our research team is the difference between capturing basic details about
a financial sponsor from its website and capturing deeper data like its past and
present portfolio companies, available dry powder and investment preferences.
HO W W E C A L C UL AT E VA L UAT ION SInstead of estimating valuations, our analysts use a proprietary formula to calculate
a pre- and post-money valuation for each round of a company’s funding.
Similar to how analysts determine market cap for publicly traded companies, our
formula takes into account factors like the number of shares issued and
option pool estimates. We also contact the company’s investors and executives
to confirm our results.
The PitchBook Platform has valuations for 41% of all VC funding rounds—and our
valuations are within a 5% margin of error, according to feedback we’ve received
from investors.
