"Comprehensive Data and Easy Setup, Awaiting More Integrations"
What do you like best about Gain?

I really enjoy the breadth of data that Gain.pro offers. The team is very responsive, which is great. I appreciate the good coverage of the DACH market and the European market. Having available KPIs, especially related to revenues and profitability, is very useful. I also value their strong industry classifications. The broad database enables us to filter out all relevant companies easily, focusing on profitability and size KPIs. This helps us because we have a very narrow set of criteria for relevant companies. Additionally, we switched from SourceScrub to Gain.pro because it has much better coverage of relevant metrics and companies. The market reports are much deeper, and the coverage of M&A advisers and transactions is comprehensive. The initial setup was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gain?

We currently still wait for the affinity integration, which is hopefully solved by the team soon. Currently this sis solved by manual upload, which is also great, and we appreciate that. And also, we are still waiting for the LP database. We currently do not use Gain.pro with other tools, given the lack of integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamline Your Sourcing Approach - The Ultimate Resource for In-Depth Company & Industry Analysis"
What do you like best about Gain?

In a nutshell, I would describe Gain.pro as a platform that falls in between Crunchbase and Bloomberg, positioned as the richest source of sizeable private company information. Within seconds, one has access to curated company profiles and in-depth industry research constructed by local, top-tier young professionals.

I worked with the platform from the perspective of an investor; as such sourcing is the engine of our operations and accurate & up-to-date information is key. Gain.pro has become an indispensable tool for my investment research. Please allow me to share my experiences with this remarkable platform.

One of the standout features of Gain.pro is the in-depth and high-quality company information it provides. Whether you're analyzing a well-established corporation or a promising scale-up, Gain.pro offers a plethora of data and insights that go far beyond the shallow ‘scraping’ phase. Their comprehensive company profiles offer an in-depth analysis of financials (e.g. manual consolidations, or the gathering of financial input that go beyond formal reporting), competitors, ownership structure, and much more. I found the information to be highly reliable and extremely valuable for quickly making informed investment decisions.

Another aspect that sets Gain.pro apart is its commitment to industry research. The platform goes beyond providing just raw data, offering in-depth reports and analyses on 100's of industries. What impressed me was their approach to interviewing industry leaders and experts to gather firsthand insights. This ensures that the research is not only based on data but also incorporates the perspectives of those at the forefront of their respective sectors. This added layer of expertise adds immense credibility to the reports, enabling investors to take an early view on sectors to make well-rounded assessments.

The user interface of Gain.pro is intuitive and user-friendly. Navigating through the platform is a breeze, thanks to its well-organized sections and easy-to-use search functionality.

Furthermore, Gain.pro offers a range of powerful tools that augment the investment research process. From financial statement analysis to peer benchmarking and trend tracking, the platform equips users with the necessary tools to conduct thorough assessments and comparisons. These features empower investors to delve deeper into the performance and prospects of companies, aiding in making well-informed decisions.

Lastly, what impressed me about Gain.pro is the commitment to maintaining a current and up-to-date database. In a rapidly evolving business landscape, it's crucial to have access to the latest information, and to date Gain.pro delivers on this front. Their dedication to continuously updating company profiles, financials and industry reports ensures that users always have access to the most recent insights.

In conclusion, Gain.pro is an exceptional platform that offers a wealth of valuable information and research for investors. With its rich, high-quality, and up-to-date company information, in-depth industry reports based on interviews with industry leaders, and an array of powerful tools, Gain.pro has become an invaluable resource in my investment journey. Beyond Private Equity, I also see great use cases in M&A or Consulting. If you are working in these sectors, I strongly encourage to explore Gain.pro and unlock the power of comprehensive company insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gain?

Gain.pro has demonstrated great potential in providing comprehensive company and industry insights. To further enhance its appeal, my first suggestion is for Gain.pro to broaden its curated profiles beyond Europe, allowing for a more global perspective and wider range of companies accessible on the platform.

Moreover, as Gain.pro expands, it is vital to maintain a strong focus on data accuracy and timeliness. By allocating sufficient resources to ensure the integrity of the data, Gain.pro can provide users with reliable and up-to-date information, striking a harmonious balance between platform expansion and data quality.

I eagerly anticipate the ongoing development of Gain.pro and the positive impact it will have on investors worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
