As PE continues to evolve and mature, with more active firms and higher amounts of capital than ever at play, sourcing deals has become even more challenging. To help capital market professionals find the right opportunities in such a competitive landscape, we’ve partnered with Dun & Bradstreet to enhance our North American company coverage—expanding our global private company count to more than two million.
These newly added North American company profiles include companies with more than $1 million in actual or estimated annual sales and come complete with comprehensive financial data such as net sales, gross profit, net profit, total assets and total liabilities.
A recent PitchBook report titled, Private Markets: A Decade of Growth, highlights the current competitive environment and the need for in-depth company data. A record amount of capital—$2.6 trillion—has flowed into PE funds globally between 2009 and 2018. Further, there were 3,682 active PE managers as of year-end 2018, a 28% increase over the last decade.
Given this competitive shift, proprietary deal sourcing has become imperative—and our latest update empowers PitchBook clients to readily discover hard-to-find, investable opportunities and identify relevant service providers and lenders to work with.
