    PitchBook is excellent for building a rolodex of contacts, especially for firms which may be newer and lacking an established reputation within their given industry. I have used it as a tool to identify groups which may be interested in equity investments in one-off real estate deals, though the platform more prominently features groups which are more interested in programmatic/JV fund structures. PitchBook can also be useful as a tool for identifying industry trends, as it tends to capture creation of new funds and their investment appetites at any given time.

    Cons
    Mastercard
    • The investigation of the effectiveness of the internal control system is a fundamental part of these commitments, this segment is the most responsible for the design, or if it does not fail, even if the software provides advanced tools.
    • The commitment cannot order as it was said previously only to the software; what is delegated is the command to exercise the commitment, which usually ends the ruling.

    • It would be nice to have the best parts of the deal tab merged into the general information tab for a company.
    • If possible, gather more information on certain executives. There are use cases where our clients want us to research candidates who may not have much information on LinkedIn or RocketReach.

    I think its a great platform as is. Its usable and we get most of the information as and when we need. I don't like the landing page after login, so I don't like to go to PitchBook every day to review daily updates on the industry. It's way too cluttered and requires MFA every time

    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.

    We have robust chargeback management software designed to quickly level out oddities based on a customer's first conduct to help us as a vulnerable business spot potential chargeback scams and revenue loss. It condescends to concentrate efforts on prevention instead of reaching sanctions and investigations and then falling into services to recover costs.

    I also use SignalNFX, but it doesn't exist in the dropbox. Signal is a much more practical tool when it comes to a preliminary search, and when it comes to connecting with the right person. It scrapes your gmail history and linkedin to find who you're really connected to and figures out how to leverage that to get an intro. Sales NAVIGATOR is better for massive outbound, but not very relevant otherwise. PitchBook's real value is in the database. It won't help you reach out, but it sure will find you every single VC firm that could ever invest in your company.

    • It has allowed us to be more targeted in our sales campaigns.
    • Great headhunting and market mapping data.
    • We have been in a very difficult hiring market so it hasn't given me the ROI I would have hoped, but that isn't PitchBook's fault!
