CEPRES GmbH

CEPRES began in 2001 as the Center of Private Equity Research, collecting fund, deal, and portfolio-company data directly from general partners. It became an independent company in 2012 and is headquartered in Munich, Germany.

The firm combines a private-markets data network with software for due diligence, fund and deal benchmarking, portfolio monitoring, forecasting, risk analysis, and secure data exchange. Its users include institutional investors, fund managers, consultants, and other private-capital professionals.

CEPRES is especially strong in look-through analytics: it links fund-level performance to underlying deals and operating companies, using data sourced from GP records rather than only public filings or scraped documents.
