Grata

Grata is a commercial private-market intelligence platform designed for finding and evaluating privately held companies. Its website presents the service as a combination of company data, search, market mapping, deal tracking, and relationship information for mergers and acquisitions and investment workflows^[1].

The product is aimed principally at private-equity and growth-equity investors, investment banks, corporate-development teams, private-credit funds, and advisers^[1]. Grata is also catalogued as a private-company data business by Crunchbase^[2].

What It Does

Users can search and screen companies, construct market maps, identify possible acquisition targets, and track opportunities through a deal pipeline. Grata says that the platform can be used on desktop and mobile devices and through a browser extension, and that it synchronizes with Salesforce, HubSpot, and DealCloud^[1]. These functions place it within the private-markets data category rather than a public securities market-data service.

Data And Methodology

Grata describes its underlying coverage as more than 22 million private companies and more than 100 million global filings. It says that automated extraction and machine-learning methods are combined with human research and validation^[1]. These quantities and accuracy statements are vendor claims; the consulted independent profiles do not provide an audit of the database.

The website also describes transaction intelligence derived from the wider Datasite environment, records of historical transactions, profiles of deal professionals, conference lists, and indicators intended to identify potential seller interest^[1]. Such indicators are analytical signals rather than announcements that a company is formally for sale.

Products And Delivery

The main hosted platform covers discovery, screening, market mapping, and deal tracking. Programmatic access is advertised through an API, data-warehouse synchronization, and a Model Context Protocol server, allowing customers to incorporate records into their own data or artificial-intelligence environments^[1]. The public site does not publish standard subscription prices, so cost and contractual access conditions cannot be independently established from the consulted material.

Buyers And Use Cases

Common uses described by the company include originating investment or acquisition opportunities, preparing sector maps, developing buyer lists, researching competitors, and supporting early underwriting^[1]. The service is therefore most relevant where public disclosures provide an incomplete view of smaller or founder-owned companies. Its records and estimates remain inputs to research and due diligence, not substitutes for direct verification of a target's financial or legal position.

Corporate History

In January 2025, Datasite announced that it had acquired Grata, placing the product within Datasite's mergers-and-acquisitions technology portfolio^[3]. Grata's current site also states that its platform is being combined with Sourcescrub, another private-company intelligence product^[1].
