PitchBook is a resource for data, research, and insights spanning the global capital markets. Founded in 2007 and acquired by Morningstar in 2016, PitchBook's data on the private and public markets helps business professionals discover and execute opportunities.
I dont know how useful it is for a bdr. I think it is more suited for an AE postion where you need indepth information instead of quick on the run information to book someone in the phone. I think it is better for case building to have that amount of information
Finding a list of largest PE buyout firms and breaking it down. There's some good categories to break data into which makes it useful for some searches, so for example if we were looking for European focused large PE firms, it can create a really strong list we can use, because the data is there.
PitchBook provides a very comprehensive database of not just companies and investors but also M&A activity, financials, funds and LPs.
Pitchbook is multi-dimensional it how it can be used. For example, it can help to accomplish various business objectives, including deal sourcing, due diligence, private market intelligence and fundraising.
PitchBook has an easy-to-navigate user interface. It enables the user to quickly find the data and information that he or she needs.
It is a bit overwhelming to have that amount of information in the same place. And sometimes it can be a bit tricky to find the relevant information you need at the time you need it. It is nice to have that level of information but it kind of useless if you dont know where it is.
The matching process is fairly simple and comprehensive. The search and filter functions are clear and easy to use. We are able to export all information so that we do not miss any details when consuming the information. The layout of the extracts is sensible and the data easy to consume.
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.
Certain regards, such as comprehensiveness and ability to store and export searches and data related to searches PitchBook performs better than the above and remains our go to tool. However we also use DealRoom to supplement some of that data to ensure comprehensiveness and accuracy. Crunchbase appears less sophisticated and hence less relevant for us
I'll pull ~25 company descriptions on occassion instead of writing them myself. Each time I grab one of those I'm saving myself 2-3 minutes. Easily save an hour+ on this simple / repetitive task related to a daily / weekly work product.
If I want to understand other companies in the industry, PB's search function will save me from skimming the internet for hours. This can result in 4-7 hours of time savings across a more macro or industry-wide project.
Quickly finding who invested in an asset can save sometimes 30-45 minutes of searching the internet. While I wish it provided more details on the specific fund that invested (i.e., Fund IV), it provides sufficient direction for me to begin searching internal databases.
