Learn moreYour Firm Has Thousands of Relationships. But No One Can See Them.
Partners, Principals, alumni, advisors, portfolio executives—your firm's collective network touches nearly everyone in the PE ecosystem. But when you need to reach someone specific, that relationship capital is locked in people's heads and scattered across LinkedIn profiles.
“Do we know anyone at this company?”
For deal sourcing
“Who can give us a real reference on this candidate?”
For executive hiring
“Can we intro our portco to this buyer?”
For portfolio support
“How do we get in front of this LP?”
For fundraising
These questions get asked dozens of times a week—and answered by guessing, emailing around, and hoping someone knows someone. Verata gives you the answer instantly.

Verata combines firm-wide network mapping with private company and executive intelligence—built specifically for how PE firms work.

Frequently Asked Questions
We identify high-quality professional relationships from verified sources using proprietary methods. Unlike LinkedIn—where people accept requests from anyone—every Verata connection represents a real professional relationship. You won't embarrass yourself asking the wrong person for an introduction.
Verata supports the full range of relationship-driven activities at PE firms: deal sourcing (finding targets and warm paths), talent (executive diligence and board placement), portfolio value creation (customer intros and add-on sourcing), and investor relations (LP mapping and fundraising). The same relationship intelligence powers all of these workflows.
We estimate revenue using comparable company analysis—the same methodology you'd use in a model. We show you the comps we're using and the methodology so you can assess confidence. For most private companies, it's the best estimate available.
For any executive, we identify people who overlapped with them during their tenure—former colleagues, supervisors, board members, and direct reports. We show you exact co-tenure periods and map paths from your firm to these potential references. This gives you independent verification beyond the references candidates provide.
Verata integrates with DealCloud, Salesforce, and Affinity on Professional and Enterprise tiers. Your pipeline stays synced without double entry. Most firms use Verata as the starting point for sourcing, diligence, and relationship research.
