Grata

An AI-native private market intelligence platform purpose-built for dealmakers. Grata's core asset is a proprietary database of 21M+ private companies built by crawling billions of websites and government filings, continuously refreshed using ML and human validation to claim 99% accuracy. Acquired by Datasite in June 2025 and now operated as a strategic business unit; Sourcescrub is being merged into Grata under Datasite's $500M intelligence build-out.

Keyword-based and agentic natural-language company search that goes beyond NAICS codes to surface companies by what they actually do. Similar Company Search for thesis-driven list-building. Autopilot for real-time deal signal monitoring (hiring, ownership, funding changes, conference attendance). Market Intelligence module with EBITDA and revenue multiples, comparable transactions, and buyer pattern analysis. Filings Lookup covering 25+ countries. Verified executive contact data for 10M+ private company contacts. Curated industry conference attendee lists. Deal Network connecting buy-side firms with sell-side advisors and active mandates. CRM Intel for tracking coverage, notes, and pipeline within Grata.

Agentic Search launched in late 2025 — interprets natural-language investment theses, reasons through market structure, and surfaces targets proactively rather than returning static filter matches. Similar Company Search uses ML/NLP embeddings rather than keyword or code matching. Autopilot delivers personalized, real-time company and signal feeds. MCP server launched June 2026: Grata's private market data is available natively inside Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Copilot, Perplexity, and Blueflame AI via MCP — enabling investment-grade workflows (thesis generation, target identification, market mapping, comps analysis, buyer lists) directly inside LLM environments. REST API available as an add-on module for custom automations and data warehouse integrations. Data warehouse feed also available as a separate add-on.

Not publicly listed; sales call required for all tiers. Based on market feedback, contracts reportedly range from $10,000 to $100,000+ per year depending on team size, modules, and negotiation. Pricing page describes tiered packages aligned to sourcing, advanced analysis, and enterprise/automation use cases, with optional add-on modules for API access and data warehouse feeds. No free tier; no self-serve signup.

Native CRM integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and DealCloud for pipeline export and workflow continuity. MCP server connects Grata data into major LLM environments (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Copilot, Perplexity, Blueflame AI). REST API (add-on) for custom integrations and internal analytics. Data warehouse feed (add-on) for ingesting Grata data into proprietary systems. Integration with Navatar (announced October 2025) for AI-powered deal accessibility. Sits within Datasite's broader M&A platform ecosystem alongside Blueflame AI and Sourcescrub.

SOC 2 compliant with independent third-party audit. Data encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. GDPR compliant; adheres to applicable global privacy standards. Role-based access controls restrict data to authorized users within an account. Continuous system monitoring. Global financial data handled through Grata's secure industry research infrastructure. ISO 27001 and CCPA status not publicly confirmed — verify with vendor.

Founded 2016 (some sources cite 2015), headquartered in New York City. Co-founded by Andrew Bocskocsky (CEO) and Nevin Raj (COO/Co-founder), former Harvard classmates with backgrounds in private equity, management consulting, and AI. Raised $35M total across three rounds, including a $25M Series A led by Craft Ventures (announced February 2022) with participation from Bling Capital and others. Acquired by Datasite (controlled by CapVest Partners) on June 3, 2025; Bocskocsky and Raj continue to lead Grata as a strategic business unit within Datasite. Datasite/CapVest committed $500M to expand its intelligence platform, of which Grata is the centerpiece. Sourcescrub (acquired by Datasite August 2025) is being merged into Grata. Named Best Deal Origination Technology of 2023 by Private Equity Wire. Approximately 231 employees as of April 2026. Notable customers span PE firms, investment banks, corporate development teams, and management consultants — specific named customers not publicly disclosed.

Strong. Grata is the most purpose-built sourcing database for a growth equity firm operating in a firm's advanced technology verticals. The 21M+ private company database with keyword/agentic search lets analysts surface niche, unfunded, off-market companies in sectors like defense, semiconductors, industrial autonomy, and energy that PitchBook and Crunchbase systematically miss because those companies lack transaction history. The MCP server is directly relevant to a firm's AI-native firm build: analysts can query Grata's proprietary dataset inside Claude or ChatGPT for thesis generation, market mapping, and target screening without leaving their LLM workflow. Sensitivity is Medium — queries and prospect lists flow through the tool but core deal documents and LP data do not. The Datasite acquisition adds long-term platform durability and international coverage. Primary limitation for early-stage VC is coverage bias toward the middle market and unfunded private companies rather than venture-backed startups, where PitchBook/Crunchbase have deeper signal.

Pricing is opaque and requires a sales call; no self-serve or published tiers. Coverage skews toward middle-market and bootstrapped private companies — depth on venture-backed startups is thinner than PitchBook or Crunchbase. Contact data and ownership status accuracy has mixed user reviews, with some reporting reliability gaps. Post-Datasite acquisition, product roadmap and pricing are in flux as Sourcescrub is merged in. No published SAML SSO documentation; access control specifics require vendor confirmation. API and data warehouse feeds are add-on costs, not included in base plans.
