Cons
  • Wish the ability to download I information was available
  • Wish their was an availability to search by category (ie copper cookware; cutlery etc
  • Being able to more easily see who else a supplier manufactures work with as helps you understand quality being produced

  • Better use of Generative AI (At this point, I should be able to type in a natural language search and PitchBook should give me that answer without having to go through the old school search of checking boxes and setting parameters)
  • If possible, include preliminary data on un-funded startups, perhaps by scraping various non-financial filing records.

Usability

I personally love the organization structure of PitchBook. I think others like the UI of Crunchbase but I am not a fan of CB. It is too flashy. PitchBook gives you eveyrhign you need and makes it black and white. No need to flash up the data.

After posting this (previously positive) review, all communication stopped from ImportYeti's side. Updating the review to reflect this.

The overall support for PitchBook is about average. It is not excellent for two primary reasons. First, PitchBook can run slow from time to time, and I cannot copy and paste from the Chrome extension. I have found neither of those issues to be a function of the computer I am using. However, the PitchBook support team has proved helpful on several occasions.

ImportYeti is aimed for simplicity and cost effective solution. Many of its competitors provide a wide range of solutions, with a much greater price point. If you need a complete range of solutions, you may consider other options. ImportYeti is great in its scope, for querying the information regarding US imports. Is structured and really easy to use.

We use Pitchbooks concurrently with HG and ZoomInfo Sales. Pitchbooks primarily brings the funding status and information to the table. However, it's company description that is available in the extract along with the revenue growth figures have also been useful when collating the data. It does not have as much contact information as Zoominfo nor the tech database that HG has but this was made clear when purchasing the solution.

Return on Investment
  • Good leads for suppliers and manufacturers in the industry
Read full review
  • I'll pull ~25 company descriptions on occassion instead of writing them myself. Each time I grab one of those I'm saving myself 2-3 minutes. Easily save an hour+ on this simple / repetitive task related to a daily / weekly work product.
  • If I want to understand other companies in the industry, PB's search function will save me from skimming the internet for hours. This can result in 4-7 hours of time savings across a more macro or industry-wide project.
  • Quickly finding who invested in an asset can save sometimes 30-45 minutes of searching the internet. While I wish it provided more details on the specific fund that invested (i.e., Fund IV), it provides sufficient direction for me to begin searching internal databases.
