Private Equity List maintains a structured, human-curated database of 7,900+ PE/VC investors across 117 countries and 93 industries — updated continuously as new funds launch and existing funds update their mandate. For researchers, journalists, academics, and policy analysts, this provides a reliable foundation for market analysis, trend tracking, and evidence-based reporting that doesn’t depend on incomplete public records or stale secondary sources.

​
Research Applications

Market Analysis

Map the distribution of PE/VC activity by region, industry, or stage to understand where capital is concentrated and where gaps exist.

Trend Tracking

Monitor new fund formations and sector focus shifts over time using the New Funds Feed and live database metrics.

Policy Research

Understand the PE/VC landscape in specific countries or regions to inform regulatory, economic development, or investment promotion analysis.

Academic Research

Access verified investor data — fund type, stage, geography, ticket size, and thesis — for quantitative studies and literature grounded in primary source data.

​
Available Data Dimensions

Private Equity List’s database is structured across multiple dimensions that map directly to common research variables:

​
Query the Database in Natural Language

The MCP Connector lets you search the database in plain language from Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client — for example, “VC funds focused on biotech in Southeast Asia” or “family offices investing at Series B in Africa”. This is useful for exploratory research where you want to understand coverage before committing to a structured filter approach. For programmatic pulls, use the API.

​
Monitor Live Coverage Metrics

The Database Stats page at privateequitylist.com/resources/stats shows live coverage metrics including total fund count, contact count, monthly update volumes, and geographic distribution. Use it to understand the current scope of the dataset before designing a study or analysis.

​
Export Data for Quantitative Analysis

The Pro+ plan includes CSV export of up to 300 funds per month. This allows you to pull structured, filterable slices of the database — by region, industry, stage, or fund type — and bring the data directly into spreadsheet or statistical analysis workflows.
