PitchBook's Revenue Success
Share
A story about how PitchBook collects and monetizes private company information.
"PitchBook does about $120 million a year in revenue and they're owned by Morningstar. What they do is a bunch of different things. First, they crawl the web and find SEC documents and all types of data. They have a team of about 300 people who just hit the phones all day and call people to get information.
They're really expensive - not just $25 for a subscription. They've built this comprehensive system of gathering private company information through both automated web crawling and manual outreach, making them a valuable source for company data that's typically hard to access."
