AngelList Venture vs. PitchBook

For well-funded startups, Angel List Ventures would be extremely helpful for competitive research and market research and likely finding hiring prospects. For agencies and salespeople, Angel List Ventures is a great tool for lead prospecting to find the fastest-growing companies across industries. Cost may be prohibitive depending on your revenue.

If you are a company or an individual that needs reliable information about SMEs or startups, this is the best platform for you to get this information in a very efficient way. If you are just doing a basic due diligence to see active VC funds, figuring out valuations or companies in one industry, or just getting general information about an industry, it is probably better to get it from somewhere else on the internet. The reasoning behind it is that PitchBook is very expensive as opposed to other options out there.

The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.
