Benchmarking Private Markets Data Due Diligence
Overview
CEPRES, founded in Munich in 2001 as the Center of Private Equity Research, runs one of the largest verified private-markets databases — 17,000+ funds and 150,000+ deals sourced through direct, confidential GP-LP data exchange rather than scraping. LPs use it for fund screening, benchmarking and cash-flow forecasting; GPs use products like DealForge to benchmark deals and prove performance to allocators with data both sides trust.
