Hello Searchfunders!
For the next three months, we are piloting an expanded partnership with BVR to provide unlimited access to all their 45,152 transactions* from their DealStats platform. The transactions cover a wide range of industries and include the most complete financials on acquired companies in both the private and public sectors.
It's a big financial commitment for Searchfunder and continuing beyond the pilot will largely depend on how many of you use this feature. Over the last year, IBISWorld usage was about twice that of BVR. We'd like to see usage comparable to IBISWorld to continue beyond the pilot.
You can access all 45,152 transactions from DealStats under the BVR-Transactions tab at the top of this page. Here is the direct link:

Please take a look and give us your feedback in the comments below. Detailed feedback is way more helpful than just saying "thanks."
As always, please help us spread the word. :-)
With Best Wishes,

- the tool forces you to pick a NAICS code where there are transactions available. It would be helpful to pick a generic one as a boundary for a range
- it might be helpful to have a quick way to reference all the NAICS codes - I have my own spreadsheet, but it does take a bit to pull up and search
- it might be helpful to also use date as a filter - I personally don't go too far back as I am not sure those transactions would be applicable
Hope it helps!

^redacted, just checked it out. some quick fdbk:
* would be great to be able to download the search results straight into a csv
* to extent a csv download is possible, would be even better to include some of the transaction data that is not displayed in the search results (e.g. multiple, cash on close)
* would really like to be able to print the transaction detail popups (maybe this is possible and i just didn't figure it out)
* for industry summaries, a few i pulled excluded the transaction records beneath the summary boxes
* also for industry summaries, would be great to be able to filter those results in the same manner possible in the transaction search mode
hope that helps!
thank you again!
