The data layer that
private markets was missing

Nobody owned clean, proprietary intelligence on which financial firms use which software. FundTide was built to close that gap — for the vendors, investors, and advisers who need it.

The problem we solve

Private equity firms, hedge funds, and asset managers run complex operational tech stacks — but that data has never been systematically mapped. Vendors selling into this market fly blind. Investors studying fintech opportunities lack ground truth. Advisers recommending systems have no benchmark.

FundTide aggregates signals from job postings, LinkedIn profiles, vendor press releases, and direct firm surveys to build the most accurate picture of who uses what — and updates it continuously.

How the data is built

1

Survey programme

Firms share their stack in exchange for free access to the benchmark report. Voluntary, transparent, GDPR-compliant.

2

Signal enrichment

Job postings, LinkedIn skills data, and vendor announcements are used to cross-verify and fill gaps between survey cycles.

3

Confidence scoring

Every prediction carries a confidence score based on source quality, recency, and corroboration. No black boxes.

4

Quarterly refresh

The full dataset is reviewed and refreshed each quarter. Migration signals are flagged proactively for subscribers.
