What We Do
Grata is the first private intelligence search engine for company discovery, providing a single source of truth to find small to middle market private companies. We are developing cutting-edge search technology leveraging NLP and ML to automate the B2B research process on millions of small and medium businesses in the U.S. We’ve recently experienced significant growth and raised capital from top investors who built Google and transformed the finance industry.
Despite making up nearly half of the US economy, private companies are notoriously difficult to find and engage even for the most innovative dealmakers.
In the past, finding the right small and mid-market companies for a deal has required a massive effort, and a bit of luck. This hurts target companies too, who often miss out on game changing opportunities as they are practically invisible.
So, what if there was a different, better way to do business? A solution that gave innovative dealmakers an edge? A tool to help them find the right company - at the right time?
That's why we created Grata - to make that difference.
Our private company intelligence engine streamlines the process of finding the best companies to target: making it easier and faster to gain visibility into the entire market, gather relevant intelligence on target companies, build bespoke lists, and find similar companies to uncover more of the best opportunities in less time.
Why Work With Us
Our employees have an ownership mentality and are hyper-focused on the success of the organization, evolving our product, and constantly look to make Grata better every day. Grata takes a no-ego approach to collaboration on, regardless of experience, title, or seniority, everyone knows their voice will always be heard.
