Actionable Intelligence for Private Equity
At PlainView Research Group, we deliver bespoke intelligence for private equity across Europe and the US. From deep due diligence in opaque markets to mapping bolt-on deals in booming sectors, our intelligence is tailored precisely to your needs.
Market Mapping
Areas of Expertise
Understand the True TAM.
Our market mapping service provides crucial objective transparency for investors evaluating the scalability of potential platforms by cataloguing every key player in their target industry and sector.
The service is powered by our proprietary research platform that delivers unparalleled visibility into your market and growth strategy. By uniting advanced algorithms with data aggregated from public and private databases, local registries, industry portals, trade shows, trade associations, and other private sources, we eliminate blind spots, ensuring you target all relevant segments, from emerging niches to established verticals.
This granular insight empowers strategic decision-making, whether you are prioritizing R&D investments, or identifying white-space opportunities in crowded markets.
Deal Origination
Bespoke Search to Support Decision-Making.

For firms considering investments in new sectors, industries, or markets, we deliver market maps featuring the most strategically aligned middle-market companies that match your objectives. We then facilitate introductions to interested sellers, giving buyers exclusive access to a robust pipeline of off-market opportunities, helping you stay ahead of the competition before deals reach the open market.

For add-ons, we deliver a focused analysis of the true TAM within your geographic boundaries. Our models account for regional regulatory landscapes, competitive density, and growth trajectories. In Europe, we integrate local language data to validate scalability, letting you confidently assess tuck-ins, service expansions, or new-market entries that fit your portfolio strategy.
