DailyDAC

What DailyDAC does

DailyDAC is a privately held information services company founded in 2010 and operated as DailyDAC, LLC from Highland Park, Illinois. It is positioned as the oldest, most established provider of public notices of asset sales and case commencement information for financially distressed companies in the United States and Canada, serving financially distressed business owners, their advisors, and "vulture investors" seeking distressed-deal opportunities. The core technology stack is a content-publishing and database platform rather than a software product: it aggregates Chapter 11 filings (via the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Alert System updated continuously seven days a week), curates distressed-asset deal opportunities (Distressed Deal Data™ / Opportunistic Deal Database, delivered via searchable online database plus weekly Wednesday email), publishes a paid Premium Public Notice service for fiduciaries, and maintains three professional directories (Assignee, Auctioneer, State Court Receiver) plus an Insolvency Decision Tree™ interactive tool. Content is created by external contributors who are restructuring professionals (attorneys, advisors).

DailyDAC's business model is built on three revenue streams: (1) recurring annual subscriptions to Distressed Deal Data™ on a personal, non-transferable basis with quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed; (2) per-listing fees for the Premium Public Notice service used by bankruptcy trustees, receivers, assignees, secured creditors, and auctioneers; and (3) freemium customer acquisition via the free Chapter 11 Alert System and the 10,000+ subscriber DailyDAC Weekly newsletter. Go-to-market is content-led and SEO-driven, supplemented by webinars through sister site Financial Poise and recommended-resource listings from major industry associations (ABI, TMA, AIRA, CLLA, ACG). The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, and is led by founder and publisher Jonathan Friedland, a principal at the restructuring law firm Much Shelist. Operating scale appears modest and stable, with no disclosed revenue, headcount growth, or capital infusion signals.
