About Private Equity List

Stop drowning in clunky, overpriced databases. Private Equity List is your AI-powered, no-BS gateway to the world of private capital. This isn't just another directory; it's a precision-engineered platform built to demolish the barriers between you and your ideal investor. We've curated a massive, human-verified database of over 7,000+ PE/VC firms and 27,000+ investment team contacts, updated almost daily. Whether you're a scrappy founder hunting for a seed check, a consultant building a target list, or a researcher needing clean data, we deliver. Our super-intuitive UI/UX cuts through the noise, offering powerful, PE/VC-first filters (geography, stage, thesis) that actually work—without forcing you through a soul-crushing demo or locking essentials behind a paywall. With the new AI Search, you can now chat with the database like a pro. It's the best-value, high-impact alternative to the legacy giants, designed to get you from zero to a structured, export-ready investor list in minutes, not weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the AI Search function?

Our AI Search is a powerful tool for brainstorming and rapidly narrowing down the field, but it's not infallible. It can make mistakes or occasionally "hallucinate" information. We always recommend using it as a brilliant starting point, then verifying the crucial details—like contact info and specific investment criteria—against the firm's direct profile on our platform before taking action.

What makes you better than Pitchbook or Crunchbase?

We're the agile, focused alternative. Think of us as the specialist scalpel versus their generalist bulldozer. We offer a seamless, lightweight UI with PE/VC-specific filters available upfront, human-curated data updated nearly daily, and export-ready contact lists at a fraction of the cost. No demo required, no analytics overload—just pure, actionable investor intelligence faster and for better value.

How current is your database?

Our data is on a grind, updated almost daily. We track new fund launches, status changes, and team movements to keep you ahead of the curve. The platform clearly shows the last update date, and we even have a dedicated "New PE/VC Funds" section highlighting funds launched in the last 6-12 months that are actively looking to deploy capital.

Is there a free plan?

Absolutely. You can dive in and start using basic search functions for free, no credit card required. It's the perfect way to test-drive the platform's intuitive feel and see the quality of our data firsthand. When you're ready to unlock exports, full contact details, and advanced filters, our affordable paid plans kick in.
