The "Holding Co" Data Trap

Why SIC 6282 fails for institutional sales.

A "Private Equity Firm" could be a $100B powerhouse like Blackstone or a retired CEO managing his own money through an LLC. If you sell deal-sourcing software, professional services, or due diligence, you need the funds.

You need to filter out the passive investors and find the Operational Partners with active investment committees.

  • Dormant Portfolios (No deals since 2020)
  • Single-Asset SPVs (No fund budget)
  • Real Estate LLCs labeled as PE

Anatomy of a High-Value PE Lead

In Private Equity, the "Portfolio List" is the definitive indicator of value. A firm with 10 active investments in the Logistics sector is a prime target for a roll-up software solution.

We extract these "Capital Signals" to help you map the investment landscape.

Tech Fingerprints

  • CRM: Detection of DealCloud, Affinity, or Altvia.
  • Data: Usage of Capital IQ, Preqin, or PitchBook APIs.
  • VDR: Integration with Intralinks, Datasite, or Ansarada.

Portfolio Signals

  • AUM Tier: Estimated via analyzing fund raise announcements.
  • Sector focus: Explicit "Industries" page analysis (e.g. 100% MedTech).
  • Transaction Vol: Mentions of "Exited," "Acquired," or "Recapitalized."

Outreach Strategy: The "Roll-up" Play

If you sell multi-entity accounting software, filter for PE firms with >5 companies in the same vertical.
Pitch: "We saw your recent acquisition of [PortCo]. We help your portfolio companies consolidate financial reporting across all 5 of your [Vertical] assets..."

Verification: The "Operational" Check

We validate PE firms by their human capital.

  • Team Page: Do they list "Operating Partners" or just "Investment Pros"?
  • Recent Deals: Have they closed a transaction in the last 12 months?
  • News: Are they announcing fund closings or exit milestones?

This ensures you pitch to functioning investment houses, not static holding companies.
