PrivCo: Home Screen: Company Search

PrivCo covers more than 400,000 private companies, many of which are not covered anywhere else. They begin with companies with over $1,000,000 in revenue or funding, though they are not comprehensive. You will see some public companies in the database. If a company is acquired or goes public, it will remain in the databases, though PrivCo will stop tracking it. Below you can see the range of information available about companies.

After logging into PrivCo, the landing page allows you to do a simple company search. Simply type the company name in the Search by company name box at the top of the screen. A dropdown appears, and you can select your company. The amount of information available for a company varies greatly, generally with more information available for larger and more established companies.
