Third Bridge, an investment research company serving private equity funds, hedge funds, mutual funds and management consulting firms, has launched Maps, a new way to visualise public and private company value chains in a single view, helping investors fast-track early-stage research within minutes.

Third Bridge currently has almost 10k Maps featuring over 100,000 companies and coverage is growing rapidly. Each value chain map illustrates an entity’s key structure, suppliers, customers, and competitors, allowing investors to prioritise their research focus and navigate through Third Bridge’s integrated content platform.  

Maps are created by Third Bridge analysts who conduct in-depth profiling sessions with senior executives possessing first-hand knowledge of an industry. 

Maps is part of Third Bridge’s integrated research platform, which also incorporates Connections, a premium expert network service, and Forum, an archive of in-depth interview transcripts.
