Stay ahead of the competition
Data and analytics are rapidly transforming the private equity industry. DealEdge provides unparalleled access to and analysis of deal data, guided by Bain’s private equity expertise. This enables you to make better-informed decisions from early-stage diligence to the final investment committee.
Zero in on the most promising investments
Any prospective deal will benefit immeasurably from what only DealEdge can provide: the power to evaluate the risk-return profile and operating metrics of similar deals using a custom taxonomy designed by Bain to meet the specific needs of private equity investors. DealEdge provides the world’s deepest industry taxonomy so you can see what’s worked and what hasn’t in a highly relevant benchmark set. That means you can focus investment team resources on the deals with the highest potential.
Pressure test investment theses
Understand how earnings growth, revenue growth and multiple expansion contribute to the success of similar deals. See the range of purchase price and exit multiples. Evaluate the cyclicality of any sector. DealEdge helps you ask the right questions and pressure-test deal model assumptions throughout the diligence process.
Replace hunches with highly relevant market benchmarks
We developed DealEdge specifically for private equity investors. It’s far more than a massive database of deal metrics—it uses a proprietary taxonomy to build highly relevant benchmarks tailored to your specific challenge. Instead of benchmarking based on anecdotal evidence from the few transactions you know, drill down with DealEdge and gain real intelligence.
