The four news beats, and what separates them

Private-markets coverage blurs together if the categories are not kept distinct. These four beats separate capital going into companies from capital changing hands, and both from capital being raised by the funds themselves.

The four news categories and what each reports
Beat What it reports Stories
Deal news Funding rounds raised by companies, typically minority stakes taken by venture capital firms 100
Buyout news Control transactions — acquisitions, take-privates and secondaries by private equity firms 50
Fund news New vehicles raised and closed by VC and PE fund managers 30
Transition news Partner and executive moves between firms, and new hires at fund level 30

Frequently asked questions

What does this venture capital news service cover?

Four beats across the private markets. Deal news reports funding rounds raised by companies. Buyout news reports acquisitions, take-privates and secondary transactions by private equity firms. Fund news reports new vehicles raised and closed by fund managers on both sides. Transition news reports partner and executive moves between firms.

What is the difference between deal news and buyout news?

Deal news covers capital going into a company in exchange for equity, typically a minority stake taken by venture capital firms in a priced round. Buyout news covers control transactions, where private equity firms acquire a majority or the whole of a business, often using debt alongside equity. The distinction is control and stage rather than deal size.
