Case Study

Private equity consultants use Earnest data to screen target companies, expedite due diligence, and add value to portfolio companies

A PE consulting team was evaluating a DTC influencer cosmetics brand but was having difficulty finding reliable sales figures for the company and understanding retention metrics for competitors. They came to Earnest for:

• Access to Earnest's two industry-leading credit card transaction datasets, Orion and Vela, so their case team could see real-time revenue, customer, and competitor data for their Diligence project
• Company KPIs across income, age, and geography for thousands of private companies across dozens of consumer sectors
• Reduced time spent sourcing deals and conducting due diligence in the consumer space
