What Peer Data does

Peer Data is a B2B SaaS company that built the DBOR™ (Data Book of Record) platform, a data governance and monetization system designed to serve as a "system of fact" for organizations that procure, license, or capture data assets. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the company targets three distinct customer segments—Data Consumers (banks, buy-side firms, data and analytics providers), Data Providers (data vendors, brokers, aggregators, exchanges), and Data Owners (organizations that digitally capture transactions)—each served by a dedicated solution module. The platform combines a patented Daisy Chain technology for end-to-end data traceability with a distributed ledger architecture, producing cryptographically verifiable usage logs, runtime licensing rule evaluation, automated invoice and revenue allocation, and data lineage and provenance tracking across the data lifecycle.

The underlying technology connects contract management to data delivery systems, ETL/EDM environments, applications, and accounting, embedding license terms into operational workflows so that compliance is enforced at the point of data use. Peer Data monetizes through annual enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced on a quote basis (no public pricing tiers), supplemented by a Data Monetization Advisory service that helps enterprises build go-to-market strategies for data commercialization. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with a "Connect with Sales" call to action, no self-serve or channel motion, and the customer base is reported at approximately 100 active enterprise clients concentrated in financial services. Total disclosed venture funding is approximately $7.7M across two rounds (a $5.2M round led by Liberty City Ventures in May 2023 and a $2.5M round in December 2024). Peer Data was acquired by Lukka, a global institutional digital asset data and software provider, in June 2026 to extend Lukka's control layer into traditional data commerce and enterprise AI governance.

Broad incumbents

• OneTrust: Trust intelligence platform with data governance and catalog modules; broader incumbent that competes for the same data steward and compliance buyer budgets as Peer Data.
• Informatica: Large incumbent data integration and governance suite (including data catalog, MDM, and data quality). Overlaps with Peer Data on governance and lineage, but as part of a much broader platform.
• Talend (now part of Qlik): Data integration and governance suite providing catalog, lineage, and data quality capabilities; broader incumbent alternative to Peer Data's DBOR™.

Direct peers

• Collibra: Enterprise data intelligence and governance platform offering data catalog, stewardship, and lineage. Most direct horizontal competitor to Peer Data's DBOR™ in the data governance and lineage category.
• Alation: Data catalog and governance platform used by large enterprises to document, govern, and trace data assets — directly comparable to Peer Data's consumer/provider/owner solution modules.
• Atlan: Modern data catalog and governance platform with active lineage and collaboration features; competes for the same enterprise data steward buyer that Peer Data targets.
• data.world: Cloud-native data catalog and governance platform with lineage and metadata management; competes with Peer Data for catalog-driven governance use cases in the enterprise.

Emerging players

• Monte Carlo: Data observability and lineage platform focused on data reliability and pipeline monitoring; partial overlap with Peer Data's lineage and provenance capabilities.
• BigID: Data intelligence platform focused on data privacy, security, and governance; overlaps with Peer Data on data asset visibility and rights/usage tracking.

Others

• Lukka: Institutional digital-asset data and software provider that acquired Peer Data in June 2026. Most relevant as acquirer and now-parent company; provides a distribution channel rather than direct product overlap.
