I spoke briefly to this guy today. PitchBook maintains information about venture financings, M&A activity, etc. He offered a demonstration to anyone who might be interested. Feel free to follow-up directly if you like. I have no experience with their platform so this isn’t an endorsement, but some of you may find the data to be very helpful. It somewhat overlaps Crunchbase—I’m not entirely certain what the distinction is except I think PitchBook is more highly researched whereas Crunchbase relies on self-reporting.

Hi Neil,

I’m reaching out to discuss how the PitchBook Platform can help Michigan State's entrepreneur program.

PitchBook tracks deals, companies, people, advisors and investors in the VC, PE and M&A space.

I would love to set up some time to talk. What day next week looks good for a quick call?

Thank you for your time,

Zac
