Every GP is being pitched on AI, but most tools pull from incomplete data. In private markets, an incomplete picture is a real liability. In this video, Kyle Stanford, CAIA, Director of US Venture Capital Research at PitchBook, shows how PitchBook’s LLM partnerships connect our dataset to the AI platforms GPs already work in, including Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Perplexity. Whether you’re sourcing new targets, running diligence, or tracking a portfolio company toward exit, ask a question in plain English and get an answer grounded in PitchBook’s data, right inside your existing workflow.

The exit environment has been under pressure for years: IPO windows are narrow and M&A timelines stretch. For a GP, the question isn’t just which companies will exit, but which are ready and when. In this video, Kyle Stanford, CAIA, Director of US Venture Capital Research at PitchBook, shows how the VC Exit Predictor gives each company a probability estimate of exit within a given time horizon, built through machine learning on PitchBook’s data. See how GPs compare companies across a portfolio, track how scores move over time, and get ahead of which companies need attention before the exit window opens.

Valuation is one of the hardest calls in venture — no public price, incomplete comps, and a market that moves before a deal even closes. In this video, Kyle Stanford, CAIA, Director of US Venture Capital Research at PitchBook, shows how GPs use Valuation Estimates to price investments with model-backed ranges built on PitchBook’s proprietary data and analyst IP. See how GPs apply that range beyond a single deal: pricing new investments with more confidence, monitoring valuation risk across a portfolio, and modeling fund-level performance without waiting on stale comps.

We treat our customers like royalty at PitchBook, and we believe our communities deserve the same.

Venture exits are rebounding, but unevenly, and for years the hardest part of the exit question wasn’t whether a company would exit, but when. PitchBook’s new Time to Exit tool changes that. Powered by machine learning, it estimates the probability that a venture-backed company exits within one, three, or five years. It’s the newest addition to PitchBook’s VC Exit Predictor, updating daily as a company’s profile evolves based on market conditions, employee data, fundraising pace, and time since last round.

GPs can prioritize deal sourcing and size reserves with more precision. LPs can plan for liquidity with data instead of instinct.

Though the tech industry is on track to spend nearly $600 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026, M&A is hardly part of that equation. The Big Five of Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple, dropped from thirty-three acquisitions in 2017 to only twelve in 2026 YTD, showing a growing preference for back and build strategies.

Why are the industry’s most influential, cash-rich companies not buying startups and what does it mean for AI M&A? Find out with insights from PitchBook’s Senior VC Analyst Kaidi Gao who looks at key players in this trend and their motives.
