Grata, the leading private market intelligence platform, today announced key milestones following Datasite’s acquisition of Valu8 earlier this year, including the successful integration of Valu8’s company intelligence, the launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP), and growing adoption among organizations across 26 countries. Together, these developments expand Grata’s global data coverage and broaden how customers access and leverage private market intelligence.
Since Valu8 joined Datasite, Grata has successfully integrated its international company intelligence into the platform, significantly expanding global coverage and enriching the breadth of proprietary data available to customers. Today, Grata provides access to more than 23 million companies, 230,000 conferences and industry lists, 180,000 companies with filing data, 1 million transaction events—a 224% increase since early 2026—and 11.5 million contacts, all supported by a team of 600 research analysts.
“The successful integration of Valu8 represents an important milestone in our mission to build the most comprehensive private market intelligence platform available,” said Nevin Raj, General Manager of Grata. “By combining Grata’s AI-powered discovery capabilities with Valu8’s international company intelligence, we’ve expanded our ability to help customers source opportunities, conduct research, and make informed decisions across global markets. As AI becomes increasingly central to private market workflows, access to proprietary, research-backed intelligence is becoming a critical differentiator.”
The integration enhances Grata’s coverage of private companies worldwide, enabling customers to discover and evaluate businesses across a broader range of geographies through a single platform.
In addition to expanding its global data footprint, Grata is transforming how customers interact with private market intelligence. The recent launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables customers to securely connect Grata’s proprietary data to leading AI assistants and agentic workflows. Rather than relying solely on publicly available information, users can access Grata’s proprietary company intelligence, transaction data, conference and industry participation data, executive contact information, and research-backed insights directly within their AI workflows. These datasets provide visibility into private market activity that is impossible to replicate through public web sources alone.
Grata recently introduced Seller Intent, a proprietary signal designed to help customers identify companies exhibiting early indicators of openness to strategic transactions—often 6 to 12 months before a formal process becomes competitive. When back-tested against completed transactions, Seller Intent accurately predicted 98% of U.S. and 89% of EMEA mid-market to large-cap deals in 2025.
Organizations across 26 countries now rely on Grata to identify opportunities, uncover market insights, and support strategic decision-making, reflecting the platform’s expanding global reach following the integration of Valu8 and continued investment in AI-powered workflows.
These developments reflect Grata’s continued investment in combining proprietary data, artificial intelligence, and workflow innovation to serve investment banks, private equity firms, corporate development teams, consultants, and other private market professionals worldwide.
