WHY CUSTOMERS LOVE GRATA
Customer Testimonials
“Grata is most helpful for us from a prospecting perspective. We have a team of analysts and associates, and even senior folks at [firm] who spend a ton of time identifying companies that could be platforms or great add-ons for our portfolio companies. That is the most helpful aspect and where we get the most benefit from Grata.”
"For me, what I use Grata for the most is the AI find similar search. If we lose a bid on a company and want to go after similar companies, it's really easy to do the AI find similar and narrow down by private size range and other filters. It does a great job. That's what we primarily use it for, building lists, so it's been great for that."

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI deal sourcing platform?
An AI deal sourcing platform uses machine learning to identify, analyze, and prioritize private companies for investment or acquisition. It replaces manual list building with intelligent discovery based on business relevance, not just static categories.
How is AI used in deal sourcing and M&A research?
AI is used to discover companies, interpret business models, surface market signals, and rank opportunities. This allows deal teams to move faster while reducing noise and missed opportunities.
How does AI identify private companies that are hard to find?
AI analyzes fragmented data across the web, proprietary datasets, and contextual relationships. By interpreting meaning rather than relying on exact matches, it can surface companies that traditional databases miss.
What are the benefits of AI-driven company classification?
AI-driven classification reflects how companies actually operate rather than how they self-label. This leads to more accurate targeting, cleaner lists, and better strategic alignment.
Can AI improve accuracy in early-stage diligence?
AI improves early diligence by standardizing data, highlighting inconsistencies, and surfacing relevant signals at scale. This reduces manual errors and speeds up initial screening.
How does Grata use AI for deal sourcing?
Grata uses contextual AI to understand companies the way an M&A analyst would. The platform identifies relevant businesses by analyzing products, customers, and market focus rather than relying on rigid taxonomies.
What makes Grata’s AI different from other AI deal sourcing platforms?
Grata’s AI is purpose-built for private markets and M&A workflows. It focuses on interpretability, precision, and relevance instead of generic keyword matching.
How does Grata AI generate company data when information is incomplete?
Grata AI combines partial disclosures, inferred signals, and proprietary data to build structured company profiles. This enables coverage even for private companies with limited public visibility.
How does Grata AI help prioritize acquisition targets?
The platform evaluates companies across multiple signals to assess strategic fit. This allows teams to quickly narrow large universes into high-confidence target lists.
Can Grata AI be trusted for sourcing and diligence workflows?
Grata AI is designed to support, not replace, analyst judgment. Its outputs are transparent and structured to fit directly into sourcing and diligence processes.
