Company Intelligence: Beyond research

Company and deal data from the experts on alternatives

Accuracy, transparency, and auditability of data are the foundations of Company Intelligence, part of Preqin’s solution for investment teams.

It leverages the direct relationships with alternative assets professionals we’ve established over two decades to ensure our data adds context, clarity, and confidence to your decision-making.

Unlike other providers, we’ll never just rely on machines to collect and curate our data. It’s our relationships with people like you that make us unique. At Preqin, we combine the expertise of more than 500 multilingual researchers with the power of cutting-edge technology to ensure our data and research is timely, accurate, and insightful.

Human touch vs. big data

We use a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods in our data research process, and Company Intelligence is no exception to this.

Global teams - local market knowledge

Our global multilingual teams source our primary data. Having strong local market knowledge and understanding puts us head and shoulders above the competition.

Primary source data - daily validations

Company Intelligence is driven from primary source data. We conduct daily validations to ensure that the first-hand data that we receive is of the highest quality and accuracy.

Direct data contributions - timely information

We have a direct line of communication to our primary sources and Company Intelligence is built using data contributions from investors and service providers. You can trust that the information we publish is reliable, credible, and timely.

What sets us apart

Data quality is our top priority. All data goes through a stringent verification process, using our latest technology and proprietary models, and is then checked directly at the source.

But we don’t stop there – here are some of the added initiatives that ensure you get the highest quality data with Preqin:

1. Automated rules

Automated data validation rules process millions of data rows every day to comply with business requirement and to detect anomalies.

2. Live deal updates

Bespoke RSS feeds capture deal updates every 5 minutes for our team to review and integrate into our database.

3. Sample testing

We perform manual data quality checks on live datasets using statistically sound and reliable methods such as Cochran and Stratified sampling methods.

4. Knowledge transfer

Training and shadowing sessions ensure our research teams are the best in the industry.

5. Continuous improvements

Internal data forums enable our data owners to suggest development and enhancement projects.

Looking to the future

We use data to uncover insights that help you optimize your strategy. And we’re always looking at how we can employ the latest technologies to bring you that extra competitive advantage.

Our Data Science team developed Actionability Signal, Preqin's proprietary tool powered by machine learning and analytics techniques applied to Preqin's database. This tool examines historical deals data and company traits – among a variety of other data points – to help you identify potential liquidity events that span the full lifecycle of private companies from early to mature.
