What PE Hub does

PE Hub is a B2B digital media platform providing news, analysis, and data on private equity dealmaking, operated as a brand within PEI Group (PEI Media Limited). The platform serves institutional private equity professionals — fund managers, limited partners, advisors, and financial services firms — with sector-focused coverage across healthcare, technology, energy and power, business services, consumer and retail, industrial and manufacturing, financial services, and sports/entertainment. Core products include the pehub.com website with continuous editorial coverage, a searchable proprietary GP fund manager database, Gold and Platinum subscription tiers, podcasts, deep-dive features, Quarterly M&A Deals research reports, and special reports. The underlying technology is a web-based publishing platform with single sign-on across PEI Group's 15+ alternative-asset publications and an AI-enabled Enhanced Online Platform featuring AskPEI, a generative AI natural language search and summarization tool.

The business model is primarily subscription-based recurring revenue with annual minimum 12-month terms, supplemented by conference delegate fees (PEI Events including Women in Private Markets Summits, Investor Forums, Operating Partners Forums), advertising and sponsorship across PEI sites, and paid Networks memberships (Infrastructure Investor Network, PERE Network, Private Funds CFO Network). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-user enterprise licenses available. The go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging digital content marketing, email newsletters, SEO, social sharing, and PEI Group's global events portfolio to drive subscription acquisition. PEI Group maintains seven offices across London (headquarters), New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, and Los Angeles, with governing legal entities established in the UK, USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia.

PE Hub holds no patents or trademarks disclosed in the source material, and has not received publicly listed awards. The platform is GDPR-compliant, registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office, and has published a DORA Statement to support EU financial-sector clients. PE Hub is privately held as part of PEI Group, with no public listing, stock ticker, or exchange references. Leadership includes Michael Pekin as CEO and Elizabeth Pekin as Co-founder and President.
