BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Canvas the private market with Grata Intelligence, the agentic M&A workspace for dealmakers. Fill your pipeline with the right opportunities and engage executives, investors, and intermediaries, with Blueflame, Datasite’s M&A agent, helping carry the work forward.
Business development depends on spotting the right opportunities early and reaching the right people, but the work is slow, manual, and scattered across systems, spreadsheets, and individual relationships, so teams can’t pursue everything worth pursuing.
PROBLEM 01
Network referrals and conference lists reach your competitors too, so promising companies surface late, often after others have already made contact.
PROBLEM 02
Building and refreshing target lists by hand takes expensive hours, and too much of that time goes to companies that were never a fit.
PROBLEM 03
Contacts, notes, and past conversations live in CRMs, inboxes, and people’s heads, so outreach repeats, stalls, or starts without context.
SOURCE
Reach the right opportunities earlier. Search beyond general industry codes, use Similar Search to find companies like the deals you already know, and pair the results with seller intent signals to see who may be preparing to sell. Ask Blueflame, Datasite’s M&A agent, to analyze and compare the results, so you can narrow to the strongest targets sooner.
FOCUS
Put your team’s time where it counts. See more than 25 data points on each private company, alongside seller intent signals and transaction data, while Blueflame reasons across it all to help you decide where to focus first and cut time spent on poor-fit targets.
ENGAGE
Start every conversation knowing what your firm already knows. Bi-directional CRM integrations bring your relationship history into the same workspace as Grata Intelligence’s market data, and connected VDRs, document repositories, and uploaded files add the deal and diligence context your team has already built. Blueflame works from that shared context, so your outreach starts informed instead of from scratch.
SOLUTION
Grata Intelligence fits business development into the workflows your deal team already runs, from sourcing and conferences to pipeline. Your firm’s knowledge and Grata’s proprietary data are combined in one connected context. Blueflame works from that context, so your team knows where to focus and can act on it.
Discover founder-led businesses and niche verticals that are hard to find through traditional search. Use Similar Search and precise filters to surface high-fit targets with confidence.
Track 25,000+ conferences and see which companies and executives will be in the room. Automate alerts, build attendee lists, and schedule high-value meetings ahead of every event.
Identify companies showing signals they may be preparing to sell, 6-12 months before they come to market - with 99% accuracy.
Browse active mandates and connect directly with advisors on opportunities that fit your criteria.
Build buyer lists with filters for deal history, recency, and acquisition behavior. Connect directly with decision-makers using verified contact info and share lists with your team.
Proprietary deal sourcing helps you gain an edge over your competitors. Grata Intelligence’s customers report sourcing 2-6x more deals after upgrading to Grata Intelligence. If you only rely on your network or conference lists, you’ll most likely be fishing in the same pond as all your competitors resulting in higher premiums paid and wasted time.
No! We provide full market visibility for dealmakers around the world, including the UK, France, Germany, and Australia. We’re also working with our partners at Datasite to expand into more markets all the time.
