Private markets intelligence provider Gain is preparing to sell a minority stake in the business at a valuation of up to $500m, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The Amsterdam-based firm is working with Moelis to arrange the sale, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of this year. The process is expected to target financial investors.
Founded in 2018 by Nicola Ebmeyer and Frister Haveman, Gain provides data and research on private markets dealmaking. The company is headquartered in Amsterdam and also has offices in London and New York.
Demand for specialist private markets data providers has increased in recent years as dealmakers seek more detailed intelligence across private equity and credit markets. Credit data firm 9fin was valued at $1.3bn in its latest funding round, while Octus, formerly Reorg Research, was acquired by Permira from Warburg Pincus in a deal worth around $1.3bn in 2022.
