A lot of people see us as building a “better PitchBook.” While that’s a decent business ($552M annual revenue in 2023 with 13.0% YoY growth), it’s not an exciting vision for me, and I don’t think it’s be best way to frame what we’re aiming to build at Aviato. I believe that by becoming the ultimate data aggregator and insights layer for private markets, we’ll unlock entirely new revenue streams that are hard to imagine today (Bloomberg, for example, expanded into media only five years after its founding) & we’ve also been building our extensive secondary employee database for a reason (maybe even facilitating transactions 😉).

Simply put, we have a data moat because we collect our data in-house, unlike other platforms that depend on third-party data, limited by update frequency and data science capabilities. With complete control of our data, we can expand into adjacent verticals and create faster, more effective products, leveraging superior analytics—similar to the Palantir model.

To clarify, we’re not just building tools for venture firms. I’m aware that venture is a small, capped market, and we started there because of its advanced tools (inspired by SignalFire’s data systems). Ultimately, though, our data foundation enables us to develop models across various markets, all built on the same core infrastructure.
