Introducing Metal's Partnership with PitchBook.

Introducing Metal's Partnership with PitchBook. Taylor lowe. Metal Technologies, Inc. is thrilled to announce that PitchBook, the leading source of private capital market data, is now integrated with Metal. PitchBook's private company, deal, and fund data is ready for your deal teams to put to work across the Metal platform and inside the AI tools your firm already uses through Metal MCP. The data lands in your firm's context layer. The better the market data, the more it's worth pairing with your firm's own context, and that context is what Metal provides. Metal sits underneath the AI tools your team already uses and gives them everything your firm knows. It works by taking your scattered deals, documents, and decisions and organizing them into one connected map: every company, every figure, and the judgment behind them, what your firm concluded and why. Metal Technologies, Inc. call that map a context graph. When PitchBook data flows into your firm's context graph, an external comp stops being a standalone number. It sits next to the deals your firm actually ran, the targets you passed on, and the theses you wrote. A PitchBook valuation becomes a valuation in context: here is what the market says, and here is what your firm decided the last five times it saw something like this. How it shows up across the lifecycle. Because PitchBook data is structured into the graph, it compounds through every stage rather than living in a single lookup. * In sourcing, market maps and target lists are grounded in PitchBook's coverage and ranked against your firm's own scoring and edge. * In screening, comps and round histories arrive already connected to the comparable deals in your own history. * In diligence, benchmarking reads from PitchBook and from what your firm has seen before, so the question shifts from what the market shows to whether this fits your thesis. Market truth plus firm judgment is conviction. External market data tells you what is true across the market. Your firm's structured history tells you what that means for you. Conviction lives where the two meet, and that is exactly the layer Metal occupies. This is the start of a deeper relationship with PitchBook. Every deal you run makes the next one sharper, and now the market's deepest private market dataset compounds alongside your own.
