Data
How do you get your data?
With over a decade of private financial data collection and modeling, our multi-step approach provides you with the most accurate and in-depth intelligence.
Our process begins with our curated list of reputable sources of business journals, trade publications, and credible news sources.
We use these sources to educate, inform, and model our AI and machine-learning algorithms to uncover revenues, employee counts, valuations, growth signals, deals, and more.
Lastly, our highly trained team of data scientists and engineers then verify and update thousands of individual profiles on a rolling basis, ensuring accurate, up-to-date information.
Are your valuations pre-money or post-money?
Our valuations are always post-money unless otherwise stated.
Why doesn't the data on PrivCo match other known sources?
Due to the hidden and complex characteristics of the U.S. private market, most public sources about private company financials are not trustworthy. PrivCo provides the clearest lens into the landscape of U.S. private company financials by combining verified public references, expert research analysts, and artificial intelligence-powered financial modeling.
What if I notice a data point that doesn't look right?
You are able to request an update from any company or investor profile by clicking the three dots button next to the profile name and selecting Request Update.
Please specify the data point and conflicting data source if you have one. Our team of data researchers will look into the profile more carefully.
What private companies do you cover?
Our main focus is U.S.-based private companies with over $1 million in annual revenue. Over 85% of our coverage is bootstrapped or family-owned companies that have not raised any outside funding from venture capital or private equity.
Don’t find a company we cover? Contact us and we can help build a list or review coverage.
Do you cover international private companies?
We focus on U.S. private companies but do list international companies that have raised funding rounds over $50M.
