Dow Jones Financial Information Services completes expansion of its VentureSource database, extending its global lead in the area of venture capital research by providing clients a broader and deeper focus on emerging companies in Europe.
Following its acquisition of the data assets of Cambridge, U.K.-based The Library House Ltd., VentureSource now includes fresh details on more than 3,800 portfolio companies and investment firms not previously found in the database as well as details for more than 7,700 new financing rounds.
With the addition of these data assets, VentureSource now provides in-depth details on some 84,000 individual financing rounds involving more than 39,000 companies and 13,000 investors in every industry and stage of development throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, India, Israel and Greater China. Customers of the Library House database have all been migrated to VentureSource accounts.
“With the expansion of VentureSource, we are furthering Dow Jones’s mission to help customers make better business decisions by providing them with the world’s most comprehensive news and business information,” says Scott Schulman, president of Dow Jones Financial Information Services.
“VentureSource users can now identify and review early-stage and pre-venture opportunities with comprehensive investment information on thousands of angel-, incubator-, government-, and university-backed companies in a number of innovative emerging fields, including clean technology and biotech.”
