Forge Company Profiles are now live: Institutional-quality insights for private company evaluation
Private market investors often need to evaluate companies with less readily available information than they would expect in the public markets. Understanding what a company does, how it is positioned, how its market is developing and how it compares to relevant peers can require pulling together information from multiple sources before an investment conversation even begins.
Forge Company Profiles are designed to make that process more streamlined.
Now available for select private companies in the Forge marketplace, Company Profiles provide a structured, data-rich view of private companies directly within the logged-in experience. They bring together third-party sources, Forge proprietary data and Forge insights to help investors and advisors move from discovery to deeper evaluation with greater context.
What are Forge Company Profiles?
Forge Company Profiles are downloadable reports available on select company pages in the Forge marketplace.
Each profile is designed to give investors and advisors a consolidated view of key company and market information, including company fundamentals, market context, recent developments, pricing signals and comparable company analysis.
Company Profiles are currently available for select companies, including companies such as Perplexity, Rippling, Glean, Databricks and OpenAI.

What information is included?
Company Profiles are built to help investors quickly understand a private company and decide whether to explore it further.
Profiles may include:
- Business model, product overview and recent company developments
- Revenue estimates, TAM and market opportunity
- Funding history, valuation context and Forge Price™
- Market positioning and comparable company analysis
The goal is to provide a more consistent starting point for private company evaluation, especially in a market where information can be fragmented across company announcements, third-party data providers, market commentary and secondary market activity.
Why Company Profiles matter
Private market investing is often highly company-specific. Two companies may operate in the same sector but differ meaningfully based on their business model, growth profile, competitive positioning, market size, financing history, investor base and current market dynamics.
Company Profiles help bring that context together in one place.
For investors, that can mean a faster way to understand company fundamentals, evaluate market opportunity and compare private companies across a more consistent set of information.
For advisors and institutional users, Company Profiles can serve as a client-ready resource to support conversations, diligence workflows and opportunity evaluation.
For marketplace users, Company Profiles can help bridge the gap between discovering a company and deciding whether to take the next step.
How investors and advisors can use Company Profiles
Company Profiles are designed to support several common evaluation workflows.
Investors can use them to quickly understand what a private company does, how it generates revenue, what market it serves and how it compares to other companies in its ecosystem.
Advisors can use them to support client conversations with a more structured overview of a company’s business, market opportunity and recent developments.
Institutional users can use them to help standardize diligence across companies and more efficiently compare opportunities.
Because Company Profiles are integrated into the Forge marketplace experience, they are designed to support a smoother path from company discovery to informed action.
Keeping private market context current
Private companies evolve quickly. New funding rounds, business updates, market developments and changes in investor demand can all affect how a company is evaluated.
Forge expects to update Company Profiles on a recurring basis, with additional profiles created as market interest and company-specific developments warrant. Profiles may also highlight whether content is new or recently updated, helping users better understand when fresh information is available.
Institutional-quality insights, directly in the Forge marketplace
Forge’s mission is to bring greater transparency, access and efficiency to the private market. Company Profiles are one more way Forge is helping investors and advisors evaluate private companies with more context.
By combining structured company information, third-party sources, Forge proprietary data and insights, Company Profiles help private market participants better understand select companies and take the next step with greater confidence.
