Intelligence Infrastructure
for Private Markets
Firmhound aggregates, structures, and delivers actionable intelligence on 45,000+ funds, 12,000+ GPs, and 8,500+ institutional LPs.
The Problem
Private markets data has been locked behind enterprise paywalls
What the market looks like today
The dominant players--Preqin, PitchBook, and others--charge $15,000 to $50,000+ per year for access to data that is increasingly extractable from public sources.
This creates a two-tier market: large institutions with budget, and everyone else making do with Crunchbase, LinkedIn scraping, and outdated spreadsheets.
What we believe is possible
80% of the incumbent data moat is now replicable with modern AI tooling. SEC filings, regulatory disclosures, pension fund reports--this data is public.
The defensible 20%--voluntary GP submissions and trust relationships--matters less for most market participants than incumbents would have you believe.
To make institutional-grade private markets intelligence accessible to every professional who allocates capital--not just those with enterprise budgets.

Our Approach
AI-enabled, not AI-dependent
How we build
We use AI to construct proprietary assets--entity resolution rules, classification patterns, extraction pipelines. LLMs generate training examples at scale; humans approve or reject in batches.
This compresses decades of manual rule-building into months.
How we run
Production systems execute without AI. Our deterministic classification engine processes articles at <1ms with zero API calls. Zero platform risk. Zero rate limits.
We use AI as a power tool, not a crutch.
