Introduction
The private market intelligence space is changing. Legacy platforms like CB Insights and PitchBook helped define the last decade of deal tracking. But they weren’t built for what’s happening now.
DealPotential leads the shift toward next‑generation private market intelligence where speed, context and forward-looking insight are no longer “nice to have,” but a requirement.
DealPotential: Predictive Foresight, Sourced Data, Speed
DealPotential leans into AI from the ground up, surfacing early-stage deal signals that mimic expert analysis predicting who might raise funding in 6 or 12 months, before rounds are public.
It supports thematic searches with a granular vertical and sector taxonomy, real-time benchmarking, and automated summaries to cut diligence hours.
Their dataset spans over 7 million private companies and 33 000+ investment firms, using aggregated, verified data from 21 000+ institutional sources never web‑scraped.
The Legacy Problem: Great for Looking Back
PitchBook and CB Insights are fundamentally backward-facing. They excel at indexing what has already happened: historical rounds, M&A deals, fund structures, public mentions.
In institutional workflows, that’s useful but it’s not enough.
The modern investor doesn’t want a recap. They want a radar.
Why DealPotential Defines Next-Generation Private Market Intelligence
DealPotential flips the script. Instead of storing the past, it identifies what’s coming next.
Trained on investor behavior, company signals, and proprietary classification models, DealPotential predicts funding intent before the market reacts.
You don’t see a company after it raises. You see it before.
That’s not just a competitive edge it’s a fundamental shift in how private market sourcing works.
Predictive by Design. Not Add-On.
Unlike CB Insights’ dashboards or PitchBook’s integrations, DealPotential is AI-native.
It doesn’t scrape the web or rely on public datasets. It sources structured, verified intelligence from 21,000+ institutional sources, covering over 7 million companies down to strategic keywords, subindustries, and investor behavior patterns.
You define your ideal pipeline. DealPotential delivers it automated, ranked, and with live indicators on timing and momentum.
Founder-Led Discovery. No More Missed Unicorns.
Legacy platforms over-index on high-valuation, highly visible firms. That creates crowding and bias.
DealPotential deliberately surfaces under-the-radar, founder-led, and bootstrapped companies before they become the target of institutional competition.
This is where the next generation of unicorns are being built. Quietly. And where first access matters most.
Cost and Access: Built to Scale, Not Exclude
CB Insights and PitchBook are priced for large firms and hedge funds. Most emerging managers, family offices, and individual investors are priced out.
DealPotential flips that model with flexible plans and no barrier to entry. Smart capital should be enabled not filtered by invoice size.
Why This Isn’t a Comparison—It’s a Category Shift
You don’t have to choose. DealPotential doesn’t replace the old stack it makes it smarter.
Think of PitchBook as the archive, CB Insights as the strategy room and DealPotential as the radar.
If your team’s already using legacy platforms, DealPotential turns those datasets into forward action.
If you’re building from scratch, you don’t need to look back. You need to move first.
The Bottom Line
DealPotential doesn’t play catch-up. It redefines the game.
Where others document deals, we anticipate them. Where others rely on PDFs and dashboards, we deliver live, structured, and contextual signals.
This is what next‑generation private market intelligence looks like. Not reactive. Predictive. And built for investors who don’t just follow the market they shape it.
