PE case study help!

Hi all,

I recently completed an interview for a small PE firm and was asked to complete a case study.

The study entails finding an industry that has a few criteria, and then a list of companies within that industry. How can I go about searching for certain industries in a granular way without access to CapIQ/Factset?

Thanks in advance

Enim explicabo consequatur quod et ex. Eum nam voluptates nemo non molestias illum cupiditate velit. Quasi tempora officiis odio.
