Dealroom

Dealroom.co is a subscription SaaS intelligence platform for professional investors, corporates, and governments. It aggregates and structures data on startups, scaleups, funding rounds, valuations, investors, founders, and tech ecosystems globally. Originally Europe-focused, it has expanded to global coverage and is widely used as the sourcing and benchmarking layer by VC and growth equity teams, especially those active in European and emerging markets.

Multi-filter company search and discovery across 2M+ companies with 100+ data points per profile (funding history, valuation, headcount, revenue signals, investor lists, board members, tech stack). Market maps, sector taxonomies, and curated ecosystem landscapes. Investor profiling and portfolio tracking. Founder and operator talent database with alumni networks and founder DNA signals. VC investment dashboards with live global funding flows by sector, geography, and round size. Valuation and exit multiples by segment and year. Startup journey benchmarking (Seed → Series A conversion rates, value-add investor identification). Customizable dashboards filtered by stage, region, and sector. Data export with credits gating volume. Ecosystem index ranking countries and hubs. Government and public-sector ecosystem mapping via 100+ partnership agreements.

API-first architecture with REST API providing structured access to company, funding, and talent data for CRM enrichment and workflow automation. Official hosted MCP server live at mcp.dealroom.co — enables Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants to search and analyze startups, investors, and ecosystems via natural language, automate research workflows (investor sourcing, company comparisons, competitive benchmarking), and fetch real-time intelligence using API key authentication. Authentication and data permissions are fully controlled by the user's Dealroom API key. MCP access requires an Enterprise/API-tier license; contact Customer Success Manager to enable. No public rate-limit figures disclosed.

Annual subscription only; no monthly option. Priced in EUR with minimum 3 seats required. Premium tier reportedly starts at ~€12,500/year (3 seats); Premium Plus (adds business email credits, CRM sync, advanced features) reportedly ~€17,000/year for 3 seats. API access and MCP are Enterprise-tier add-ons — pricing not publicly disclosed, requires sales engagement. 3-day free trial available with 50 export credits and full Premium access, no credit card required. No permanent free tier. Enterprise customers invoiced; annual commitment required upfront or quarterly.

REST API for CRM enrichment and workflow integration. Native CRM connectors for Salesforce and HubSpot (Premium Plus). Outreach.io integration for GTM workflows. Zapier connector enabling no-code automation with broader tool stack. Official MCP server for direct AI assistant integration (Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients). Chrome extension for in-browser company lookups. LinkedIn integration noted as a gap by G2 reviewers.

Founded 2013 in Amsterdam, Netherlands (incorporated/HQ referenced as both Amsterdam and London across sources) by Yoram Wijngaarde (Founder & CEO), formerly investment banking at Lehman Brothers and Nomura. Total funding raised approximately $16.8M across 8 rounds per Tracxn, including a €6M Series A in 2022 led by Beringea, with additional investors including Indico Capital Partners and Shoe Investments. Most recent funding round closed January 2026 (details not publicly disclosed). ~92 employees as of April 2026. Partners with 100+ governments and economic development organizations globally for ecosystem data. Notable customers and testimonials from VC firms citing European coverage quality; specific firm names not publicly disclosed in marketing materials.

Strong. Dealroom.co is purpose-built for the VC and growth equity sourcing workflow. Its 2M+ company database, sector taxonomy, funding signal feeds, founder DNA profiling, and market mapping tools directly support a firm's need to identify and track companies in deep-tech sectors, Semiconductors, Energy, Industrial Autonomy, and Resource Security. The live MCP server is a high-value capability — analysts can query Dealroom's structured private-market data directly inside Claude or Cursor without leaving their workflow, enabling AI-native deal sourcing. European and global emerging-market coverage is a differentiator over PitchBook for non-US sourcing. The government ecosystem partnerships surface hard-to-find companies in deep-tech sectors. Main fit caveat: Dealroom is strongest on European and global ecosystems; US deep-tech coverage is less complete than PitchBook.

Minimum 3-seat annual commitment makes it expensive for small teams (~€12,500/year floor). Credit-based export system can create budget surprises mid-year. US market coverage and financial modeling depth lag PitchBook significantly. No SOC 2 Type II publicly confirmed for the dealroom.co intelligence platform. LinkedIn integration is weak. Advanced cohort and correlation analytics absent vs. CB Insights. No free tier; sales-gated access with a 2–4 week typical sales cycle. Pricing in EUR creates FX exposure for USD-based firms.
