Women-led startups in private markets outperform. DealPotential helps investors act early and uncover overlooked opportunities
Announcement: We’ve launched AI-powered due diligence
OpenAI just announced a bold move into the hiring space with its upcoming AI-powered platform to rival LinkedIn.
But for private market investors, the real signal lies elsewhere: People Data in private markets is emerging as a decisive edge.
At DealPotential, we’re launching a powerful People Data feature designed to surface leadership shifts, org structure risks, and talent trends in real time well before they impact company performance.
OpenAI’s platform, expected mid-2026, will use AI to match talent with businesses. Key features include:
Smart matching between candidates and company needs
AI fluency certifications via OpenAI Academy
Aimed at small businesses and public institutions

This shift reinforces a critical trend: business success is increasingly about team dynamics, skill alignment, and leadership adaptability.
People Data in private markets refers to real-time, contextual insights into a company’s team founders, executives, structure, and recent changes. Our upcoming feature tracks:
Leadership changes and tenure signals
Team composition and hiring velocity
Organizational gaps and talent risk alerts
Explore how People Data is transforming private investing
For private equity and VC, identifying a team’s ability to scale is just as critical as revenue growth. Examples include:
CEO churn in growth-stage SaaS firms
Missing CFO or legal roles pre-IPO
Hypergrowth without operational leadership
These are red flags that People Data in private markets can expose early.
Unlike HR platforms, DealPotential’s People Data isn’t about hiring it’s about insight. By integrating this layer into investment workflows, you:
Identify risk before financials show stress
Target firms with proven, stable teams
Avoid blind spots in founder-led orgs
It’s a lens that adds context and a timeline that adds speed.
As People Data rolls out, our investors will gain early access to:
Leadership movement dashboards
Benchmarking vs peers and industry norms
Predictive alerts tied to team-level events
Combined with our predictive deal signals, this gives users a 360° view not just of what is happening, but who is driving it.
