Searching Middle Market Companies

Companies that fall under the US middle market banner account for 99% of all businesses and 50% of GDP–an overwhelming amount of investment opportunities. But dealmakers first need to identify those companies. That’s where Grata comes in.

Grata has a powerful keyword search-matching search tool. Type in any keyword and Grata will match against the company's entire website, enabling users to surface companies beyond high level industry classifications.

Grata also includes evidence of why the company appears in the results as well as a comprehensive preview of the company within the search experience, allowing you to dig deeper or add more filters appropriately to hone in your search.

Similar Company Search

Grata also has a feature called “Similar Search.”

Grata uses a deep understanding of a company’s website to identify the essence of a company factoring in hundreds of qualitative factors bucketed into groups like products, features, and target verticals, as well as quantitative factors like size and funding.

Clicking one button, “Similar Search” will automatically populate a new list of companies similar to one you were looking at. Better yet, give Grata a list of companies you’re looking at and “Similar Search” will find you the ones you missed.

Don’t miss out on a company just because it doesn’t have a ZoomInfo profile yet.

In addition, 2022 research found that with the same sample set of companies, Grata’s company and executive contact coverage won out against ZoomInfo. Grata had 7% more executive contact coverage.

How often are contacts refreshed?
