What gratadata does

Grata is a private market intelligence platform serving investment professionals across private equity, investment banking, corporate development, private credit, and consulting/advisory firms. The platform tracks 23M+ private companies globally with 150+ data points per company, 1M+ transaction events, and 10M+ verified executive contacts, covering founder-owned and bootstrapped businesses that are typically missed by VC-focused competitors. Customers span 26 countries and access the product through offices in New York (headquarters), San Francisco, London (EMEA HQ), Paris, Frankfurt, and Sydney. Following its acquisition by Datasite in early 2025, Grata operates as a subsidiary of Datasite LLC, which is controlled by CapVest Partners.

The platform is structured around two core product surfaces: the Business Development Platform (Deal Sourcing, Seller Intent, Buyer List Building, Live Deals, Conferences and Events, Pipeline Management) and the Market Intelligence Platform (Deal Data, Industry Research, Public Comps, Market Fragmentation, Excel Add-In). Underlying technology combines proprietary search infrastructure with agentic AI for natural language discovery, a proprietary Seller Intent behavioral model that flags companies preparing to sell 6-12 months before formal processes (backtested at 98.1% accuracy on US mid-market and large-cap deals), and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the platform to external LLM and AI-agent workflows. Data quality is maintained at 99% accuracy through automated aggregation, entity reconciliation, and validation by a 600-analyst research team. Distribution is enabled via API, MCP Server, Excel Add-In, Chrome Extension, Data Warehouse, mobile apps, and bidirectional CRM sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, DealCloud, and Affinity.

Grata operates a subscription SaaS model with quote-based enterprise pricing, non-cancelable 12-month contracts, and auto-renewal terms. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting PE, IB, corporate development, and consulting buyers with product-led and API-first entry points (Excel Add-In, MCP, API). The company holds SOC 2 Type 2 (since 2022), ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA certifications. Following Datasite's acquisition of Sourcescrub from Francisco Partners in August 2025, Grata is integrating human-enriched deal sourcing data (covering 16M companies across 220,000+ information sources) into the platform, with $500M in growth capital committed by CapVest Partners to expand Datasite's intelligence solutions.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• PrivCo: PrivCo focuses on private-company financials for non-VC-backed, founder-owned, and bootstrapped businesses — a coverage area Grata explicitly emphasizes. It is a partial competitor on niche private-company data where Grata claims differentiation.

Direct peers

• Mergermarket (Ion Group): Mergermarket provides M&A intelligence, deal tracking, and target screening for IB and PE professionals. Its deal pipeline, league tables, and target identification features directly compete with Grata's Deal Data and Live Deals products.
• Preqin: Preqin (now part of BlackRock) provides private-markets data, fund performance benchmarks, and investor intelligence. It serves the same PE and institutional customer base as Grata and competes on alternative-asset data coverage.
• PitchBook Data: PitchBook (owned by Morningstar) is the dominant private-market intelligence platform for PE and VC professionals, offering comparable deal data, company profiles, and benchmarking. It is Grata's most direct competitor and the incumbent Grata most often displaces in enterprise deals.
• CB Insights: CB Insights provides market intelligence, company data, and predictive analytics to corporate strategy, investment, and M&A teams. It overlaps with Grata's buyer list building, market mapping, and AI-driven discovery capabilities, particularly for tech-forward deal teams.
• Affinity: Affinity provides relationship intelligence and CRM for dealmakers, with auto-captured relationship data and pipeline management. It overlaps with Grata's CRM Intelligence and relationship-mapping capabilities and is one of the four CRMs Grata integrates with bidirectionally.
• DealCloud (Intapp): DealCloud (part of Intapp) is a CRM and deal management platform purpose-built for PE, IB, and lending. It directly competes with Grata's CRM Intelligence and Pipeline Management features and integrates into the same buyer workflows.
• Crunchbase: Crunchbase offers private-company data, funding intelligence, and prospect identification, particularly for venture-backed and growth-stage companies. It overlaps with Grata in private-company profiles and buyer/seller discovery, though Crunchbase is more tech/VC-centric.

Broad incumbents

• S&P Capital IQ Pro: S&P Capital IQ Pro (S&P Global Market Intelligence) offers deep public/private financial data, transaction comps, and workflow tools for PE, IB, and corp dev. It is a broader incumbent with wider data coverage but less specialized mid-market private-company intelligence than Grata.
• LinkedIn Sales Navigator (Microsoft): LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a broad incumbent for executive contact data and company intelligence used by enterprise sales and corp dev teams. While not a deal-sourcing platform, it competes with Grata's executive contacts and account intelligence capabilities.
