Our take
Private market visibility isn’t easy to come by. With the year over year growth in sectors like VC investment, and growing uncertainty in the markets, the insights it yields are becoming increasingly valuable. Gain is looking to corner this market niche, with its platform that aims to provide faster and more accurate insights into private companies.
The platform offers a spread of search and source capabilities for private companies that includes comprehensive financials, automated searches and updates, and data visualisation. Whilst other companies are offering a similar service for high-growth UK companies, Gain’s private and global market focus takes this successful model and applies it to a particularly lucrative area.
Gain is seeing good results, too. It’s secured a spread of blue-chip clientele including Bain, McKinsey, Rothschild, and Perella Weinberg, demonstrating a strong product with high growth potential. Plus, with plenty of funding under its belt, it’s on solid footing to find future success.
