How do I find info on venture capital and venture capital firms?

Use PrivCo.  It provides coverage of thousands of private companies, investors, and deals (venture capital, M&A and private equity).

  • Go to the advanced search screen (magnifying glass icon). Click the "Search" drop-down and select Investors. Then search or screen for firms.

Use Capital IQ (available in the Business Library).

  • Search for a firm to view profile. 
  • Select Screening > Targeting > Find Buyers or Investors from the top navigation menu. Add criteria such as industry, stage, size, and geography. Then run the search.
  • Access pre-filled screens by selecting Screening > Idea Generation > PE/VC from the top navigation menu

Use Bloomberg (available in the Business Library). In the Equity area do a Custom Search (EQS) and set the Industry Group to Venture Capital.
