Frequently asked
questions

Straight answers on how Grata Intelligence improves your deal sourcing.

Deal sourcing is the process of finding, researching, and qualifying potential acquisition targets or investment opportunities across private companies.

Most private companies lack public data, making it hard to evaluate business models, validate whether a company fits a thesis, gain a complete understanding of a market, or connect with decisionmakers efficiently.

Teams use thematic research, outbound founder outreach, industry mapping, and private company data platforms to surface opportunities before competitors. Increasingly, teams are also using agentic AI to automate this research — running natural language prompts to surface, filter, and qualify targets at scale.

Grata Intelligence combines agentic AI with investment-grade private market intelligence, letting teams describe a thesis in natural language and surface more relevant companies with greater confidence — without manually building queries.

Grata Intelligence’s contextual, agent-driven search identifies companies based on business attributes rather than static industry codes, letting teams discover niche operators that standard databases miss.

Grata Intelligence’s agentic AI uncovers founder-led, bootstrapped, and non-sponsored companies, giving teams faster, more accurate visibility into niche markets with less competition and more outbound potential.

Analysts use Grata Intelligence’s agentic Tasks and automated workflows for pipeline checks, market mapping, list refreshes, and outbound prep — reducing manual research and improving coverage.

Yes. Users can map sectors, save dynamic lists, track signals, and use Agentic Search to keep sourcing theses updated as markets evolve.

Grata Intelligence helps dealmakers qualify targets faster by combining agentic search with validated private-market intelligence, reducing the manual work required to understand fit, ownership, and market relevance.

Instead of spending precious time and cognitive load formulating the exact right keywords, filters, and queries, dealmakers can interact with Grata Intelligence the way they would interact with an analyst — describing what they need and letting Agentic Search do the rest.

Grata Intelligence helps teams collaborate through shared lists, notes, labels, CRM sync, and pipeline workflows, so sourcing efforts stay aligned across associates, VPs, and partners.
