Frequently asked questions
What is private equity deal sourcing?
Private equity deal sourcing is the process of identifying, researching, and qualifying potential acquisition targets across private markets.
Why is private-company visibility challenging for PE firms?
Private market data is difficult to find. In the US, privately owned businesses aren’t required to disclose financials, ownership, or strategic moves in the same way that public businesses are. Outside the US, reporting requirements and regulatory standards vary by region, often resulting in data that is fragmented, outdated, or inaccurate. Additionally, many middle-market private companies lack online presences, making them difficult to find with traditional tools.
Why is private-company research challenging for bankers?
Most private companies don’t share public financials, and traditional industry codes can miss niche businesses — making high-quality research slow and manual.

Grata surfaces founder-owned and niche private companies using AI-powered search, giving PE teams broader coverage and higher-quality targets. Users can also leverage the Grata Deal Network to find live deals — often before they hit the market.
