Overall Satisfaction with PitchBook

We use it to track companies related to or similar to those in our portfolio. We also use it to track the activity of co-investors. We also look up some of our 'star' portfolio companies to make sure they are being tracked accurately.

Pros

  • Captures very wide range of startups
  • VC exit predector
  • Company summary
  • Investors in a company

Cons

  • total amount invested is weak
  • early stage company tracking lags
  • some company descriptions arent clear
  • Faster time to do research
  • Single source of truth
Frequent contact and willingness of support team to engage
The quality of the data varies a lot when it comes to private companies. Data on early stage companies is often lacking in many areas
Fairly intuitive to use and search
PitchBook is seen as the industry gold standard

Do you think PitchBook delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with PitchBook's feature set?

Yes

Did PitchBook live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of PitchBook go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy PitchBook again?

Yes

It is well suited to looking up companies that are active in a space and then finding similar companies to the target company.
I think early stage companies is where PitchBook struggles most. Descriptions and round/ investment info can be inaccurate
