The Announcement

PitchBook's expanded firmographic dataset includes companies, investors, and funds data used to scope diligence and sourcing. Teams can query this data inside ChatGPT for Financial Services without switching to a separate platform, and PitchBook data appears alongside citations, letting teams inspect the supporting evidence as they build models, pitchbooks, and client materials. Powered by the industry's most reliable, human-verified private capital market data, PitchBook serves as a grounding source behind AI-driven investor workflows, delivering accurate, verified private market intelligence with every query.

"The value of any AI-driven insight starts with the quality of the underlying data," said Tom Van Buskirk, EVP of Technology and Engineering at PitchBook. "It's significant that OpenAI chose PitchBook as a launch partner for this offering. We see it as a reflection of how the industry views PitchBook's data: as the source the market turns to first. Through our collaboration with OpenAI, PitchBook is a grounding source behind the query, giving investors a way to work with trusted private market data inside a platform they already use."

“We want financial professionals to be able to work with the data they rely on, right inside ChatGPT. We’re bringing together GPT-6 Astra and PitchBooks’s data in ChatGPT for Financial Services so teams can find the information they need, analyze it, and cite their sources in one place,” said Nick Turley, VP Product at OpenAI.

Where This Fits

This partnership builds on PitchBook's broader strategy to meet investors where they work, extending its grounded intelligence data further into investors' workflows, from the deliverables they produce inside PitchBook to the proprietary systems and models they build for themselves. PitchBook now partners with many of the most widely adopted AI platforms across the ecosystem, including Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Perplexity, and Rogo.
