Partner-level market knowledge. Built for PE talent.
The context your executive decisions depend on already exists — scattered across data subscriptions, filings, and the deal team's memory. Verata centralizes it in one platform built specifically for PE talent and executive search.
Executive coverage built by reading the open web — the full operating bench, every ownership type, every fact cited to its source.

See What You Get
Ownership phases, revenue, headcount — with citations one click away.
Read Everything. Cite Everything.
The information that matters lives scattered across the public web — no curated database licenses it. Verata's AI agents read it continuously and structure what they find, and every fact links back to where it was found.
One Intelligence Layer
Every fact cites its source.
Executive Coverage, Built Differently
The incumbents built people databases for other jobs — deal sourcing, compensation benchmarking, board analysis. Verata's database was built for one job: knowing every executive who matters, and what happened on their watch.
The full operating bench
Built by reading the open web rather than licensing a database — coverage that reaches past C-suites and boards to the operators who actually run companies.
Every ownership type
PE-backed, public, founder-owned, sponsor-free. PE-specific filters when you need them; the whole market when you don't.
Financial context attached
Every profile carries the transactions, revenue trajectory, and ownership history of the companies behind it — mapped to the executive's tenure.
Research Your Investment Committee Can Interrogate
We test the assumptions executive hiring runs on — against thousands of real PE outcomes — and publish what we find, methodology included.
Bring us a search you're working.
We'll run it live on the first call — your search, your candidates, real results. That's the whole pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Verata covers executives and companies across every ownership type — not just PE-backed. PE-specific filters like backer, transaction history, and exit data are available when you need them, but the full database is much broader.
PitchBook is built for investors. Verata is built for executive search. We have company data plus executive intelligence PitchBook doesn't offer — backchannel discovery, transaction-tenure mapping, and AI search across niche industries — coverage built for search, not deal tracking.
The public web. Our AI agents continuously read company sites, press, deal announcements, and professional profiles, and structure what they find — every fact links back to the source where it was found. Revenue estimates are computed via transparent comparable company analysis; you see every comp. No black boxes, no fabricated data.
Verata is deliberately self-contained — search management with native ATS functionality is built in, so there's no integration project to run. Excel and CSV exports make it easy to move research and candidate data into any system your firm already uses.
Pricing is scoped to your firm — how many people touch the platform and how broadly you deploy it — not a one-size rate card. Most customers measure the return in search fees avoided and diligence time saved. Schedule a conversation and we'll put a concrete proposal in front of you.
Search management is live: track candidates from sourced to placed, keep interview feedback organized, and export client-ready documentation. Backchannel discovery finds who actually worked alongside any candidate. Business development tools let you search PE firms by AUM, sector, and deal activity. Everything is included — no feature tiers.
