Cross-firm exit search the per-firm tools cannot do: filter REALISED exits across ALL European PE firms by year (or range), exit route, sector and geography. Set group_by to count instead of list, e.g. group_by='exit_type' with year=2026 answers 'how many continuation-vehicle exits in 2026 across Europe'. exit_type 'Continuation Vehicle' covers continuation funds, strip sales and GP-led tender offers. Buyer names and MOIC stay locked unless authenticated as Pro.
