Frequently asked questions
How many PE-backed deals does the index track?
72 deals so far, 16 of them announced in the last 30 days. The count changes as the daily pipeline verifies new announcements; the full dataset is downloadable as CSV or JSON from the hub.
What counts as a PE-backed deal here?
This cut includes announced tech acquisitions where the buyer is a private equity firm or a PE-backed platform company. Sector and buyer type are taken from the announcement text; rows where those had to be inferred are marked medium confidence in the JSON.
Why do some PE-backed deals show no value?
Because the parties did not publish one. We record a value only when a dollar figure appears in the public source and never estimate, so undisclosed means undisclosed.
