What is PitchBook’s research process?

Our research is based on public and self-reported data. First, our research process starts with web crawlers scanning the internet to capture information from secondary sources such as news articles, regulatory filings, websites, and press releases. Natural language processing and machine learning technology organizes the data and filters out irrelevant information. Next, specialized data teams collect, calculate, and confirm key information to build in-depth datasets. Our Quality Assurance team uses preventative validation and manual reviews. The Primary Data Operations team communicates directly with a firm’s management and gathers additional key details, on a quarterly basis.

Where is information about your firm published?

Information about your firm is published on the PitchBook Platform—a leading financial data provider that features detailed profiles on corporates, investors, service providers, and limited partners.

This data is accessible to PitchBook subscribers, who use the platform for research, analysis, and strategic decision-making. In some cases, a limited public preview of a profile may also be available via search engines or directly through our Profile Previews page. These previews offer a basic snapshot of the firm but do not include comprehensive or sensitive information.

What’s the value in updating your firm’s PitchBook profile?

Keeping your profile current ensures your firm is accurately represented and well-positioned within the private market’s ecosystem. Most firms choose to update their profiles for the following reasons:

  • Fair representation: Ensure your firm’s track record, deal activity, and strategic focus are reflected correctly so others understand your capabilities and positioning.
  • Enhanced brand exposure: Increase your visibility among thousands of private market professionals who rely on PitchBook for deal sourcing, benchmarking, and relationship-building.
  • Showcase recent successes: Highlight your latest achievements, transactions, or milestones to stay top of mind with potential partners and clients.

Updating your profile is free and can be done at any time using the methods listed above.
