"If you are a private market investor, when you're looking at different sectors, you literally have to build the whole stack yourself."

This powerful insight from Neha Singh, Co-founder & CEO of Tracxn, highlights the fundamental problem Tracxn solves. Unlike public market investors who have tools like Bloomberg, private market investors faced a significant data gap, a void Tracxn was built to fill by providing comprehensive intelligence on startups and private companies.

Meet the guests:

• Neha Singh: Co-founder & CEO of Tracxn. An IIT Bombay gold medalist and Stanford MBA, Neha identified the need for Tracxn while at Sequoia Capital. She leads a company that now tracks millions of private companies, went public in 2022, and earned ~70% of its FY23 revenue from international markets.
  
• Abhishek Goyal: Co-founder of Tracxn. An IIT Kanpur alumnus, Abhishek brought experience from Yahoo, Amazon, and Accel Partners, where he was part of Flipkart's seed round investment. His first startup, UrbanTouch, was acquired before he co-founded Tracxn, which now serves a global clientele and reported revenues of ₹827.71 million in FY24.
  

Key Insights from the Conversation:

• Solving a Personal Pain Point: Both Neha and Abhishek experienced the difficulty of accessing private market data firsthand during their venture capital careers, which became the direct inspiration for Tracxn.
  
• The "Bloomberg for Private Equity": Tracxn aims to provide a level of data depth and accessibility for private markets comparable to what Bloomberg offers for public markets.
  
• Global Ambition from India: Tracxn was built with a global vision from India, strategically leveraging local talent to serve an international customer base from its inception.
  
• Evolution of Private Markets: The private market landscape has significantly matured, with increased LP allocation and a surge in the number of unicorns, underscoring the need for robust data platforms.
