DealMarket

What DealMarket does

DealMarket is a privately-held online marketplace, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, that connects private equity buyers, sellers, and advisors in order to maximize cross-border deal-sourcing opportunities. The company operates in the global PE deal-origination segment, adjacent to virtual data room providers such as Drooms but functionally distinct as a transaction marketplace rather than a secure-document platform. Capital formation history is limited but documented: at least one financing event was disclosed in 2014 with NEVEQ as an investor, followed by a second reported event in late 2015. The business is run on a lean operating footprint of 1–10 employees, which suggests a capital-efficient, possibly niche-scale, model rather than a growth-stage expansion. Leadership is anchored by Petar Bojkov in the Chief Technology Officer role, indicating that product and platform development is a core organizational priority. With no disclosed revenue, customer count, deal volume, or recent capital activity in the input, the available evidence base for DealMarket is thin and primarily captured at the firmographic level.
