About DataBane
AI-powered private markets intelligence.
DataBane is a private markets intelligence platform. We track firms, funds, people, and deals across private equity, private credit, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge funds.
Analysts research and maintain every profile. AI helps them work faster, but a person reviews the output before anything is published. Every data point on the site cites its source, so you can verify what you read instead of trusting a black box.
We cover over 8,000 firms globally, from the largest multi-strategy platforms to specialist mid-market managers. For each one you get AUM history, fund vehicles, team contacts, allocations by asset class, relationships with other firms, news, and deals.
Who it's for
LP analysts use DataBane to monitor their manager portfolios and spot changes in AUM, personnel, and fund activity before quarterly reports arrive.
GP fundraising teams use the relationship graph to identify which LPs have recently committed to similar strategies and map the people who lead those allocation decisions.
Service providers track which managers changed their auditor, administrator, or legal counsel, and use that as a signal for business development.
Individual analysts use it as a free, source-linked reference for private markets data that would otherwise require a six-figure terminal subscription.
How it works
Our analysts research firms using SEC filings, public pension disclosures, company announcements, and verified public sources. They use DataBane's internal tools to structure and cross-reference the data, and a separate review step verifies it before publication.
The platform updates continuously. When an analyst publishes a profile or a filing changes, the affected pages update within minutes. We do not batch updates quarterly; changes appear as they happen.
