THE PROBLEM WE SOLVED

The Data Has Always Been There. The Intelligence Layer Was Missing.

Private markets professionals have spent careers navigating fragmented databases, static spreadsheets, and platforms that present raw data without interpretation. Dakota changed the data. The Claude App changes what you can do with it.

Data Without Synthesis Is Just Noise

Before the Claude App, even the best database required hours of manual query-building, export-and-Excel, and analyst time to turn raw data into actionable intelligence. The insight was always buried. Now it surfaces instantly.

The Questions That Mattered Most Were Unanswerable

"Which LPs have historically allocated to first-time managers in climate tech at the $50M–$150M fund size?" That question existed in the data. No tool could answer it conversationally — in seconds, with context — until now.

Generic AI Has No Proprietary Foundation

Generic AI tools have no access to Dakota's 30 years of verified, human-curated private markets data. They hallucinate. They generalize. The Claude App is grounded in the only dataset built exclusively for the private markets fundraising community.

"Data is the fuel. Claude is the engine. The Dakota Marketplace is where they become intelligence."

HOW IT WORKS

One Interface. Every Question Answered.

The Claude App sits directly on top of Dakota's full data architecture. You ask. Claude searches, synthesizes, and responds — in plain language, with context, at a level of speed and depth no human analyst can match.

STEP 01

Natural Language Interface

Ask in Plain Language

No query syntax. No Boolean operators. No dropdown filters. Type exactly what you'd ask a world-class analyst — and Claude understands it.

STEP 02

Full Database Access

Claude Searches the Full Dataset

Across LP records, GP profiles, fund performance data, transaction histories, RIA and FA databases, and the Dakota relationship graph — simultaneously, in seconds.

STEP 03

Synthesis & Interpretation

Receive Synthesized Intelligence

Not a list of raw records. A synthesized answer — with context, patterns, and the interpretive layer that turns data into strategy.

STEP 04

Conversational Depth

Go Deeper in Conversation

Ask follow-up questions. Request comparisons. Drill into a specific LP's allocation history. The conversation deepens as your needs evolve.

STEP 05

Actionable Output

Export, Share, and Act

Generate formatted outputs — prospect lists, fund summaries, TAM analyses, meeting prep briefs — that your team can act on immediately.

THE RESULT

Hours of Research.
Seconds of Answer.

What used to require a senior analyst and a full afternoon now takes a single well-formed question. That is not an incremental improvement — it is a categorical transformation in what private markets professionals can know, and how fast they can act on it.

THE DATA FOUNDATION

Seven Atomic Data Modules.
One Unified Intelligence Layer.

The Claude App's power comes directly from Dakota's proprietary data architecture — seven distinct modules, each built with the precision that comes from three decades of practitioner-driven curation. No other AI tool has access to what sits beneath this interface.

LP LP DATABASE

LP Database

Institutional Allocators

Verified commitment data, allocation preferences, contact intelligence, and historical fund relationships — the most trusted LP dataset in private markets.

GP GP & FUND DATABASE

GP & Fund Database

Investment Managers

Strategy profiles, fund vintages, team composition, and fundraising history across every major alternative asset class.

Tx TRANSACTIONS

Transaction Database

69,000+ Deals · $3.6T Value

The most comprehensive private markets transaction record available — searchable by sector, geography, size, buyer, seller, and date.

∑ PERFORMANCE

Fund Performance Data

Net IRR · TVPI · DPI

Vintage-year performance benchmarks and fund-level return data that provide the context no pitch deck alone can offer.

RIA RIA DATABASE

RIA Database

Registered Advisors

Comprehensive RIA intelligence for distribution teams targeting the wealth management channel — AUM, strategy focus, key contacts.

FA FINANCIAL ADVISORS

Financial Advisor DB

234,000+ Advisors

337 broker-dealers and banks. Every meaningful FA relationship in the U.S. distribution landscape, mapped and searchable.

13F ETF HOLDINGS

ETF Holdings Intelligence

13F Filing Data

Institutional ETF ownership patterns drawn from 13F filings — enabling distribution teams to identify and target the highest-propensity allocators.

◈ REL. GRAPH

Relationship Graph

Contact Intelligence

The connective tissue of private markets — who knows whom, who has invested with whom, and where the warmest path into any LP truly lies.

IN PRACTICE

Questions the Claude App Answers — Instantly

These are real categories of questions that private markets professionals ask every day. Before the Claude App, each one required hours of research, multiple platforms, and significant analyst time. Now they take seconds.

LP PROSPECTING

"Which pension funds have consistently allocated to buyout strategies between $500M and $2B over the last five vintages, and haven't received a pitch from us?"

FUND INTELLIGENCE

"Show me GP performance in the lower-middle market across the 2018–2021 vintage years. Which managers outperformed benchmark by the widest margin?"

TAM ANALYSIS

"What is our total addressable market for a new infrastructure debt strategy targeting endowments and foundations in the $1B–$5B AUM range?"

RIA DISTRIBUTION

"Which RIAs in the Southeast are actively adding alternative allocations to client portfolios, and what strategies have they favored in the last 18 months?"

MEETING PREP

"Give me a full briefing on [LP name] before my meeting next Tuesday — allocation history, key contacts, current fund commitments, and any recent strategy shifts."

TRANSACTION INTELLIGENCE

"Map all transactions in aerospace & defense private equity over the last 36 months. Who are the most active acquirers and what multiples are they paying?"

FA TARGETING

"Which financial advisors at wirehouses have the highest concentration of ETF holdings in our strategy category? Rank them by propensity to allocate."

RELATIONSHIP GRAPH

"Which of our current LP relationships have warm connections to the top 20 family offices we haven't yet reached? Show me the shortest path in."
