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.”
“From a sourcing perspective, it was as comprehensive and accurate as it can get, and the user interface was really nice. In terms of what has intrigued us the most, it's definitely sourcing for new deals. As we were testing Grata, I felt it was the easiest and quickest way. In the past, we were really just Googling, which was terrible, so Grata brought more efficiency.”
