SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Caplight today launched 2.0, an AI platform for venture investors to discover and evaluate private companies. The new product complements the company's trusted secondary market data, pricing, and liquidity tools.

Sourcing and qualifying private companies remains one of venture capital's biggest time sinks, costing individual investors up to 1,000 hours a year. Caplight's new platform solves this by putting all of the information a VC needs to qualify or disqualify an opportunity in one place, including:

• More company data: Continuously updated profiles for more than 20,000 private companies, including business models, customer segments, sectors, and verticals.
• Funding round data: Over 60,000 venture funding rounds, complete fundraising histories, amounts raised, and valuations.
• Investor data: More than 10,000 venture firms and 100,000 VC investor contacts, with visibility into which funds are backing which themes and companies.
• Market signals: $300B+ in proprietary secondary transaction data and sentiment signals from news and social media.
• AI-powered search and alerts: Use chat-based queries to search by thesis, investor, fundraising activity, and more to find high-quality companies. Save target lists and get real-time updates.

"Caplight 2.0 ensures venture investors never miss a company that fits their thesis. Spend less time in spreadsheets, and more time building relationships with world-class founders," said Javier Avalos, Caplight's CEO.

Caplight's customers include top venture firms, institutional asset managers, hedge funds, and investment banks, together managing over $30 trillion in assets. With Caplight 2.0, the company advances its mission to unlock more capital for the venture asset class through better data.
