Before the deal room. Before the process. Before your competitors.
See the companies your competitors haven't found yet
Grata covers 21 million private companies - with verified financials, ownership structures, and executive contacts built specifically for M&A decisions. Grata is a living data set, continuously validated by a dedicated research team.
One verified source. No gaps.
Your research shouldn't start with three tabs, two spreadsheets, and a list you're not sure you trust. Grata unifies proprietary AI synthesis, human-validated data, and exclusive deal intelligence into a single, accurate picture of the private market - built for the decisions you're actually making.
Know who's likely to transact before they go to market
By the time a deal is visible, the relationships that matter are already formed. Grata's proprietary intent signals identify companies showing early indicators of a transaction so your outreach lands before the process starts.
Build the right buyer list. Not just a long one.
Search across financial sponsors, strategic acquirers, and niche firms. Filter by ownership structure, acquisition history, sector focus, and financial profile. Grata doesn't give you everyone; it gives you the right ones, with the data to back up why.
Walk into every conversation with conviction
The cost of bad data isn't a bad list; it's a damaged reputation. A mandate you should have won. A platform acquisition that closed while you were chasing the wrong target. Grata's verified intelligence gives you the defensible answer before someone asks for it.
Build a thesis on any market. And make it hold up.
How fragmented is the sector? Where's the capital flowing? Who's consolidating and who's still independent? Grata gives you the company-level and sector-level intelligence to develop a thesis you can defend instead of a pipeline that never quite matched your conviction.
