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.
