– Qodeo Extends Research Programme to include Two Israeli Universities –

qodeo, the independent provider of rich dynamic financial data to the global venture community, has announced that it is now tracking over 13,000 VC/PE firms, their portfolio companies, entrepreneurs, corporate advisors and Limited Partners.

The quantity of funds under management (FUM) being profiled globally has hit $326 Billion (US Dollars). The VC/PE firm profile number alone has now reached 783, a figure, which is estimated to be over 20% of the global industry.

At the same time, qodeo has extended its research programme to The Hebrew University Jerusalem and IDC Herzliya. This brings the number of Business School Research Alliances to 23 globally.   This announcement comes as Simon Glass prepares to speak at European Venture Market Berlin 6-7th May on ‘Navigating the Global Funding Challenge.

Simon Glass, CEO, qodeo, said:  “We are proud of the progress that qodeo has made in support of the global venture community.   The industry is bursting with inefficiencies, where the whole venture chain continues to waste considerable time and money in identifying best-fit partners to drive optimal performance.

He continued:  “We are excited about extending the research programme to The Hebrew University Jerusalem and IDC Herzliya.  These trusted partners will continue to provide the richness and depth of financial data, to support the provision of participatory ‘user-driven’ data and insight to the global venture community.”

qodeo provides an integrated productivity toolkit that saves users significant time and transaction costs, helps them more effectively source funds and deals, provides secure access to relevant global network connections, along with relevant community news and insight.  It supports several groups, including entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, private equity firms, limited partners and corporate advisors.
