Nasdaq IR Insight vs. PitchBook

IR Insight is well suited for tracking investor interactions and basic analytic/reporting needs.

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.

IR Insight is the most robust mobile friendly cloud-based solution we've seen. The competition is catching up but we've been pleased with the pace of innovation in the product.

We actually use both. CBInsights we use more regularly for market capture, and PitchBook when we are actively seeking acquisitions.

• Saves us countless hours of events management. Over the last three years we've gone from 2 sell-side analysts to 12 and more than doubled our IR related travel. IR Insight is critical in our day to day operations.
• The integration with FactSet was a great addition...saved us $10K that would have been spent on a FactSet subscription.

Incentivized

• Saved us from investing with an incorrect valuation (multiple times)
• You need to pay per license per user. It is definitely expensive for a small accelerator.
