One platform for everything private markets.

Joe brings together fund performance, GP & sponsor intelligence, private company transaction data, and custom benchmarking in one place — 18,500+ private funds and 159,000+ performance records across 7 asset classes, plus the sponsor and deal context that performance numbers alone don't give you.

 

Private Fund Performance

159,000+ performance records across 18,500+ funds and 7 asset classes, with Net IRR, TVPI, DPI, and RVPI standardized for direct comparison across strategy and vintage.

 

GP & Sponsor Intelligence

Sponsor profiles with investment theses, portfolio companies, deal activity, and team intelligence — know your counterpart before the call.

 

Private Company Transactions

Deal-level transaction data across sponsored and non-sponsored businesses — entry multiples, deal structures, and sector coverage for comps that hold up.

 

Custom Benchmarking

Build bespoke fund benchmarks by vintage, strategy, geography, fund size — and portfolio company sector, unique to Joe's peer-group construction.

 

Non-Sponsored Business Data

Proprietary coverage of companies without a PE sponsor — a market most databases ignore, built for proactive origination outreach.

 

Research-Verified

Every record reviewed by Joe's research team before publication — not auto-populated, not filtered through a single GP's marketing deck. See our methodology →

Track record data shouldn't require three vendors and a compliance headache.

Benchmarking a fund's performance today means stitching together data from providers built for different jobs. Consultants, allocators, and GPs raising capital all pay the same tax: incomplete comparisons, stale vintages, and hours lost reconciling numbers that should already agree.

Deal-flow databases with thin performance histories
Benchmarking tools with narrow strategy coverage
Manager-reported numbers with no independent verification

Built for the people who have to defend the number.

 
Investment consultants Benchmark manager performance against true peer sets, not approximations
 
Allocators & CIOs Validate GP track records during diligence with independent data
 
GPs & IR teams Position fund performance credibly against real market comparables
 
Secondaries buyers Underwrite with performance context across vintage and strategy
 
Family offices & OCIOs Evaluate fund commitments with independent, comparable data
 
PE deal teams Validate entry multiples against real transaction comps and map sponsor activity
 
Investment bankers Identify active sponsors and comp private transactions for pitch books
