Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with half of the biggest private equity firms and almost half of top consulting firms.
Our data is used to better understand potential acquisitions, to better focus potential clients as well as to better understand market trends. Here is a list of data key points we collect for both institutions and the products they use.
We try to have the following fields for most of our product groups:
