Does anyone here use Pitchbook for deal sourcing? Or any other pay-for-data platforms? Worth it?

Looking to beef up research and deal-sourcing initiatives, and curious to know what people are finding effective.

Easiest way to get a pitchbook subscription: hire an intern at a college looking to get M&A or searchfund experience - have them mine data for you for $10-15/hour.

Limited contact information for the size/type of companies that search funds usually target. You'd be better off with other solutions suggested either in this or other threads (also much more economical solutions as many have mentioned versus ~$20K for a single user).
