Valyu

Built for private equity

The search and research APIs behind your firm’s AI.

Private companies leave little on the public record, and generic web search misses most of it. Valyu is the one API your firm’s chats, agents and workflows call instead, from first look to exit.

Every firm has the same models and the same public information. Your edge is what your firm has learned across every deal and every portfolio company, and the criteria you invest against. Valyu works with both.
