PitchBook expands VC fund database with 40,000+ funds and granular performance data

PitchBook, the premier data provider for global capital markets, has released an expanded offering focused on venture capital funds. The database covers over 40,000 VC funds across 25+ fund types, from early-stage and growth/expansion funds to angel and restructuring/turnaround funds. For each fund, users can see key metrics such as target size, dry powder (committed but uncalled capital), and how much has been drawn from limited partners (LPs). Investment details include the companies a fund has invested in, deal sizes, lead partners, and industry breakdowns. Returns data is also available: IRR, cash flow multiples (DPI for distributions paid, RVPI for remaining value, TVPI for total value), and distribution history.

Beyond raw data, PitchBook enables benchmarking—users can compare a fund’s performance against peers with similar strategies, removing outliers (e.g., funds that got lucky with one big exit). LP commitments are also visible: who has invested and how much. Users can click through to get more details on each LP. The platform also profiles investment team members, showing deals they’ve led, funds they’ve run, and board seats held, plus contact information. With over 6 million companies, 2 million investments, 481,000 investors, and 118,000 funds tracked, PitchBook’s VC offering is designed for serious institutional investors and fund managers looking for granular, actionable data.
