Private capital ownership · 2026-08-22

Who owns what, and how long they have owned it.

Ownership of private companies is public information, scattered across a few thousand investor websites. The databases that collect it properly cost more per year than most owners will ever spend on advice. This one is free.

Who the buyers are

Strategy decides what a firm can actually transact. A venture fund and a buyout fund will never look at the same business, which is why this is usually the right place to start.

See how it works

Where this comes from

Every investor listed was checked against its own website and confirmed to invest its own or fund capital. Advisories, brokers, lenders and recruiters were screened out. Portfolio companies are those the investor publishes itself, carrying the investment year wherever it states one.

No personal contact details are published here, and no company listed is represented as being for sale. The methodology sets out how firms were screened and, more usefully, what the data does not cover.
