About Private Equity List

Private Equity List is an AI-powered database designed to streamline the process of finding and connecting with private equity and venture capital investors. It serves as a practical, best-value alternative to expensive, complex platforms like Pitchbook and Crunchbase. The platform provides a super-intuitive search system with powerful, PE/VC-specific filters, enabling users to quickly build targeted investor lists based on geography, investment stage, thesis, and more. It goes beyond simple listings by providing enriched data, including direct contacts for investment teams and detailed fund information, all updated nearly daily. With its lightweight, user-friendly interface, Private Equity List is built for efficiency, helping startups, consultants, VC funds, and researchers cut through the noise and get from search to actionable investor data in minutes. Its core mission is to make high-quality PE/VC intelligence accessible and export-ready at a much more affordable price point, democratizing access to the data needed for successful fundraising, partnerships, and market research.

Features of Private Equity List

AI-Powered Search

This feature allows you to find investors using natural language queries. Simply describe your company, stage, or sector, and the AI will surface relevant PE/VC funds. It's designed to accelerate initial research and brainstorming, though users are advised to verify details for accuracy. This chat-based approach provides a fast, intuitive entry point compared to manually configuring multiple filters from the start.

Super-Intuitive Search & Filters

The platform's core strength is its highly targeted filtering system built specifically for private equity and venture capital. You can drill down by precise criteria such as geographic focus, investment stage (from pre-seed to Series C+), check size, and investment thesis. This ensures the results are immediately relevant, saving hours of manual sorting through generalized or irrelevant data found on other platforms.

Investor Contact Enrichment

Private Equity List provides direct access to contact information for investment team members, including their roles. This data is export-ready in bulk via .CSV files, enabling efficient outreach campaigns. Unlike some competitors that lock this crucial data behind exorbitant paywalls or complex enterprise plans, these enriched contacts are available at a much more affordable price point.

Curated & Updated Database

The database features over 7,000 PE/VC investors and 27,000+ investment team contacts worldwide, with a focus on active funds. The data is human-curated and updated nearly daily, ensuring you're working with current opportunities, including newly launched funds eager to invest. This reliable, structured data is verified for fundraising purposes, unlike AI-only models that may hallucinate or provide unverified information.
