PitchBook vs Bluefind

Overview

Both PitchBook and Bluefind serve the private market intelligence space — helping professionals discover deals, analyze investors, track startups, and find decision-makers.

While PitchBook is considered an industry standard, it is expensive, has a steep learning curve, and still relies on manual workflows.

Bluefind, on the other hand, introduces a powerful edge: Agent Blue — an AI assistant that lets anyone from junior analysts to partners run simple prompts to get deep insights, investor lists, and verified contacts in minutes, not hours.
