Hey everyone,
I am interested to find a couple of PE funds that invest in Tech companies, mainly software companies.
The company I have in mind to promote to them has an EV of about USD 500-600 Million.
Any idea how I could source PE funds that could be interested?
Thanks
P.S. I could get easy access to Capital IQ - do you think that could help?
Find people on LinkedIN and put together a pitch for them.
You mean like locate on LinkedIn people working at various PE funds and send a pitch to them and take it from there?
Sounds a bit fishy, no?
Especially since I don’t use LinkedIn too much and so I haven’t built a solid profile there.
I believe CapIQ has a search feature for private equity firms. PitchBook is another platform that would.
How are you connected with the target company? Unless you have a connection with the owners I think getting a response might be challenging.
Yes, so in absence of an actual network, the next step is to contact people whose information is online with a detailed and professional pitch. This is pretty common actually - more than you might assume.
I do have a family connection with the owner and I also work there. I will search on Capital IQ. Thanks.
