NEW YORK, May 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BoardEx, a business
unit of TheStreet Inc. (NASDAQ: TST), announced two new
innovative features – Advisor to Advisor Connections and a
Private Equity Module – designed to further enhance the
service and solidify the brand's leadership within the relationship
mapping sector.
Building on its existing Advisors and Dealmakers data,
BoardEx now provides Advisor to Advisor Connections,
allowing users to find connections between individuals who have
worked as advisors on the same side of a M&A deal.
BoardEx also recently introduced a Private Equity Module
to surface key information about the senior management of PE firms
and their portfolio companies. This feature enables users to map
the connections that exist in the Private Equity sector and provide
client firms with greater connectivity to the PE market. The
Private Equity Module allows transparency into the growing
PE market, in addition to all public companies that BoardEx
specializes in.
"TheStreet has upgraded BoardEx to include connections within
both the dealmaking and investment communities," said Jeff Davis, President of Institutional Services.
"This type of data will be particularly useful to law firms and
investment banks as they strive for more transparency around deal
relationships."
BoardEx is the most comprehensive, continuously-growing
influencer database, globally. Within the platform, users can
surface more than 800 million first degree connections between
themselves, their colleagues and the industry's most extensive
coverage of senior leaders – c-suite, board members, high level
management and decision makers. The data is monitored daily, with
millions of updates each year to employment, achievement, education
