PrivCo
PrivCo is a private company database that gives deal teams revenue, EBITDA and valuation estimates, ownership and executive contacts for more than 2 million U.S. private companies, including the many that never raised outside capital.
Updated October 2026
Overview: What is PrivCo?
A free Researcher plan opens basic profiles, and List Builder and Power are paid (checked October 2026).
Each profile shows an estimated financial range, how confident PrivCo is in it, when it was last updated and what the estimate is based on. PrivCo also tracks more than 100,000 M&A deals and lists over 4 million executive contacts. It's built for deal teams such as PE firms and corporate development groups screening acquisition targets, and it also works for sales teams that sell to founder-owned U.S. businesses and want to size them first.
Fit: Ideal customer profile.
Smaller U.S. deal teams that need financial estimates on private companies without paying for an institutional platform, and B2B sellers who target established private companies by revenue. It isn't a fit for anyone who needs companies outside the U.S., audited financials, or a verified email database for outbound.

Cost
Pricing.
PrivCo's pricing page lists these three plans, but the prices didn't load when we checked in October 2026, and figures quoted elsewhere describe older plans. The List Builder trial charges the first month and adds 7 days, with a full refund if you cancel within 7 days. Power supports group pricing and AP invoicing.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Is PrivCo free?
The Researcher plan is free. It opens any company profile with the latest year's revenue, employee count, news and funding events. Full financials, contacts, watchlists and exports need List Builder or Power.
Where do PrivCo's numbers come from?
They're PrivCo's own estimates, built from multiple data points and over 16 years of research, shown as ranges with a confidence level. They're useful for screening, not a substitute for a company's own financials.
Does PrivCo work with Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. List Builder and Power connect to Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot Studio, for up to 100 or 500 company profiles a month. A Data API is available through sales.
What are PrivCo's limits?
It covers U.S. private companies only, the financials are estimates rather than audited figures, and it doesn't publish accuracy figures for its contacts, so verify emails before using them in outbound.
What are the alternatives to PrivCo?
PitchBook offers global coverage and deeper deal data at a much higher price, Crunchbase and CB Insights focus on venture-backed companies, and Owler gives lighter company profiles and news.
