## Description

This Connector connects your AI agent to the PitchBook Direct Data API to give you instant access to private market intelligence. Instead of hunting through tabs or manual filters, you can ask your agent to map out a specific investor's network or find every company in a niche sector that raised a Seed round last quarter. It handles the heavy lifting of digging through complex datasets to find headquarters, employee counts, and valuation histories. If you're trying to build a thesis on a specific industry, this Connector lets you query the data directly so your agent can summarize the trends for you. It's a massive shortcut for anyone who needs accurate, high-fidelity financial data. You can find it in the Vinkius catalog to get your agent up to speed on private markets.
