HOW GRATA’S INTELLIGENCE IS BUILT

Three layers no one
‍can replicate

Most data providers read the same public sources and hand them back unprocessed. Grata's
intelligence is built differently — across three compounding layers that create a view of the
private market that doesn't exist anywhere else.

Foundational Intelligence

Proprietary by synthesis,
not just by source.

22M+ companies
Private ACCESS DATA

Off the internet. Inaccessible without infrastructure.

100M+ global filings
EXCLUSIVE DEAL INTELLIGENCE

Exists only in Grata. Grows as the market participates.

55,000+ transactions annually
EXCLUSIVE DATA

See the private market in
motion — not in hindsight. 

Grata has spent years building access to intelligence
that can't be assembled from public sources.

Seller Intent

Find companies preparing to sell before they go to market.

Proprietary signals that identify companies likely to transact 6–12 months before a competitive process begins. Back-tested against completed transactions.

98% Accuracy – US
89% Accuracy – EMEA
Datasite Market Intelligence

See the dynamics of deals as they happen, not after they close.

Drawn from Datasite's deal execution platform with 55,000+ transactions annually. Deal flow by size, sector, and geography. Close rates. Market heat. Which markets are moving before the announcements come out.

55,000+ TRANSACTIONS ANNUALLY
MergerLinks

Know who's doing deals and who they trust.

Verified profiles of 250,000+
dealmakers across 60,000+ transactions. Self-reported through
deal records. Know which banker has done the deals you care about before you pick up the phone.

250K+ Verified dealmakers
60K+ Transactions covered

THE MARKET MOVES EVERY DAY

Industry leaders use
Grata to stay ahead.

“Pineland closed a deal thanks to a lead provided by Grata in our initial demo. Grata is a fantastic private middle market origination tool with excellent customer support. It is worth the time for the demo. Thank you Grata for the support, always be sourcing.”

Matt Rainwater
Pineland Capital Partners

PAIN POINT

High-value niche healthcare companies had tiny digital footprints and were hard to find.

USING GRATA

AI search identified companies with small footprints that competitors missed entirely.

PAIN POINT

Previous tools couldn't keep up with real-time market changes or identify actual decision makers. Other solutions had data limited to specific geographies.

USING GRATA

THE INTELLIGENCE DIFFERENCE

A view of the private market
that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Built on intelligence that’s structurally impossible to replicate from public sources alone.

Grata
Legacy Incumbents 
Standalone LLMs 
Market Coverage
Grata
22M+ private companies, including the bootstrapped lower middle market
Incumbents (Pitchbook, CapIQ)
Transacted companies only. The lower middle market is largely invisible.
LLM Wrappers
Public and limited data. The lower middle market and founder-owned economy are largely outside their universe.
Data Integrity
Grata
AI-trained plus a dedicated human research team running continuous validation. 99% accuracy, audited weekly.
Incumbents (Pitchbook, CapIQ)
Relies on static categorization and manually-entered data. Built for coverage breadth, not verification depth.
LLM Wrappers
Unvalidated. What you see is what the web says. Risks unverified and uncorrected data.
Data
Grata
Operates on data that isn't on the internet: filings, live deals, conference lists, intent signals — not just public sources re-packaged.
Incumbents (Pitchbook, CapIQ)
Public sources with light synthesis. The same data your competitors have
LLM Wrappers
Web-only. LLMs can only see what's publicly indexed and easily found.
Purpose-Built Workflows
Grata
End-to-end sourcing, market mapping, deal screening, relationship building, and more. 
Incumbents (Pitchbook, CapIQ)
No BD focus. Research tools, not deal discovery.
LLM Wrappers
Best for summarizing, analyzing, and creating deliverables from already-verified data.
Exclusive Data
Grata
Proprietary intelligence including seller intent signals, live deal networks, verified advisor relationships through MergerLinks, and Datasite ecosystem intelligence.
Incumbents (Pitchbook, CapIQ)
No proprietary signal layer. What you see is what everyone else sees.
LLM Wrappers
No equivalent. Only accesses publicly available, table stakes data.

Investment Decisions Demand Investment-Grade Data

Generalist LLMs have many valid use cases. But in private markets, they operate on a picture of reality riddled with structural gaps. The firms that understand exactly where AI ends and verified intelligence — signals aggregated and confirmed by analyzing patterns that aren’t discernible using public models — begins will have a major competitive advantage. The ones that don't will find out too late.
