How the best GPs use PitchBook: VC Exit Predictor

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.
