Overall Satisfaction with PitchBook
We use PitchBook to gather information on start-ups and funding rounds, as well as finding data on listed companies. We also screen all funding rounds that might be of relevance to our fund or that were done by competitor. It also gives us a good overview of recent fundraising and funding trends
Pros
- Give overview over fundraising landscape
- Provide company financials
- Allow custom searches
Cons
- Accuracy of company information
- Fundraising signals
- Automatic sourcing
- Time saving for looking up fundraisings
- Better and more accurate lists
- Improve decision making
Quality of data mainly holds up. Howerver we find it helpful to triangulate or enrich the data from other sources as certain information can be somewhat inaccurate. This is particularly true for employee counts, which can be an important indicator for private company size and more importantly their growth. It would be helpful if this was more accurate and if there were additional signals that could point to a company growing
- Crunchbase and DealRoom
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
