PitchBook Data Extractor

PitchBook Data Extractor scrapes public investor profile pages from PitchBook by investor ID or profile URL. Feed it a list of IDs and it returns structured JSON with firm details, deal counts, contact info, social links, and a sample of recent investments -- no manual browsing required.

What is PitchBook?

PitchBook is a financial data platform covering private equity, venture capital, and M&A activity. Each investor on the platform has a public profile page showing the firm's overview, investment history, portfolio companies, and contact details. This actor collects the data visible on those public pages.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
investorIds	array of strings	Yes	One or more PitchBook investor IDs or full profile URLs

How to find a PitchBook investor ID

Open any investor profile on PitchBook. The ID is the last segment of the URL path:

https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/41716-90
                                         ^^^^^^^^^
                                         investor ID

You can paste the full URL or just the numeric ID into investorIds -- both work.

Known investor IDs (confirmed working)

Investor ID	Firm Name	Type

11295-73	Sequoia Capital	Venture Capital

To find IDs for other firms, open the firm's PitchBook profile page and copy the ID from the URL.

Use cases

Good for building VC and PE firm lists by sector, keeping CRM records fresh with current descriptions and social links, comparing portfolio sizes across funds, or pulling addresses and contact links for outreach in bulk. Anything that would otherwise mean clicking through dozens of profiles manually.

---

Limitations

• Only data visible on public PitchBook profile pages is collected. Subscription-gated content (deal sizes, fund performance metrics, full team rosters, LP data) is not available.
• PitchBook shows up to 10 recent investments on the public profile. Full investment history requires a PitchBook account.
• Some deal types, deal sizes, and lead partner names are behind a paywall and return null. This is expected.
• For large batch runs (500+ profiles), increase requestTimeoutSecs to 60 if you see timeout errors.

Valid input formats

All of the following are accepted in investorIds:

41716-90
11295-73
https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/41716-90
https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/11295-73

Mixed formats in one run also work:

{
    "investorIds": [
        "41716-90",
        "11295-73",
        "https://pitchbook.com/profiles/investor/41716-90"
    ]
}

Duplicate IDs (same ID entered as both a raw ID and a full URL) are de-duplicated automatically.
