Each week we will highlight one of the many databases we have here at the Pomerantz Business Library.
The database: PrivCo
Where to find it: You can find it here, and under P in the databases A-Z list.
Use it to find:
- Business and financial data on major, non-publicly traded corporations, including family owned, private equity owned, venture backed, and international unlisted companies
- Company reports: often include business summary, competitors, ownership, financials, and a detialed business description
- Private market investors
- Venture capitol funding
- Private mergers and acquisitions
Tips for searching:
- Use the search bar at the top to quickly find a known company or investor
-
Use the quick private company screener, in the middle, to search by location, industry, and revenue
- Use the black tabs across the top to search for: private market investors, venture capitol funding, private M&A deals, private equity deals

Excellent presentation. I tried using PrivCo to research private companies the same day as I watched this video demo. PrivCo seems like a superb and superior tool as I have encountered for private company financials and private company profiles. Very positive PrivCo review (thus far).
