PitchBook

PitchBook is a private capital market database covering companies, deals, investors, funds, limited partners, and the people behind them. The PitchBook API is a separate, contracted add-on to a platform subscription — every call spends credits from a purchased balance.

With the PitchBook integration in Sim, you can:

  • Search every entity type: Resolve a name, website, or ticker to a PitchBook ID, or run a filtered search across companies, deals, investors, people, funds, limited partners, and service providers
  • Profile companies: Pull firmographics, industries and verticals, the full investor list, complete deal history, latest financing and debt financing, reported financials, similar companies, VC exit predictions, and web/social growth metrics
  • Dig into deals: Read deal summaries and full detail, valuations and multiples, participating investors and exiters, share terms, cap table history, funding tranches, and debt with its lenders
  • Track investors and funds: Fetch investor profiles, holdings, managed funds, board seats, and stated investment preferences, plus fund performance, peer benchmarks, cash flows, commitments, and team
  • Map limited partners: Retrieve commitment history and totals by fund type, commitment preferences, and actual versus target asset allocations
  • Research people and patents: Look up biographies, contact details, education and work history, and search a company's patent portfolio
  • Follow credit markets: Search PitchBook credit analysis news, or pull single and bulk articles in full
  • Sync incrementally: Ask any entity which of its datasets changed in a window, so a scheduled workflow only refetches what actually moved
  • Watch your spend: Report credit usage, contract balances, per-endpoint call costs, and the lookup-table codes the search filters expect

Authentication

PitchBook uses an API key sent as Authorization: PB-Token {key}, not a bearer token. Keys are issued by your PitchBook account team alongside a credit balance; a sandbox key is available for testing, and the List Sandbox Entities operation returns the IDs that key is allowed to query.

Working with filters

PitchBook range filters carry their operator inside the value rather than as a separate parameter:

FilterMeaning
>2024-01-01after a date
<2024-01-01before a date
2023-01-01^2024-01-01between two dates
>100greater than 100
10^100between 10 and 100

Amounts are in millions. Codes such as industries, verticals, and deal types are not free text — use List Lookup Tables to find the right table, then Get Lookup Table Codes to read its values. Any documented filter without a dedicated field can be passed through Additional Filters as a JSON object.

In Sim, the PitchBook integration lets agents research private markets as part of an automated workflow — resolving a company to its PitchBook ID, assembling a diligence brief, screening investors against an ideal profile, or posting a scheduled deal-flow digest to the team.

Usage Instructions

Integrates the PitchBook Public API into the workflow. Search and pull profiles across companies, deals, investors, people, funds, limited partners, and service providers, including financing history, valuations, cap tables, debt and lenders, fund performance and commitments, patents, and credit analysis news. Also reports API credit usage and the lookup-table codes the search filters expect. Every call consumes PitchBook API credits.

Actions

Search across every PitchBook entity type at once by name, PitchBook ID, website, or ticker. Use this to resolve a company, investor, or fund to its PitchBook ID before calling a profile operation.
