The Problem With Most Data Platforms

Private markets data is either locked away, or incomplete.

Most platforms serving institutional investors face the same choice: build private markets data from scratch, license it from a source that was never designed to be embedded, or go without and hope customers don't notice the gaps.

None of those options work well. Scraped datasets go stale within months. Point solutions cover one asset class and miss the rest. And most data providers were built as destination platforms — not as an intelligence layer designed to live inside somebody else's product.

Dakota Marketplace was built the opposite way: nearly three decades of hand-verified private markets data, structured from day one to be embedded, licensed, and delivered however your platform needs it.

"We built Dakota because fundraisers needed a single source of truth. The Dakota Partner Network exists for the same reason — the platforms serving those fundraisers deserve the same foundation."

Dakota Partner Network
01

Nearly Three Decades of Verified Data

Dakota has been building this dataset since 1997 — depth that can't be replicated by a scraper or a startup.

02

Every Asset Class, One Schema

Allocators, investment firms, private companies, and transactions in a single consistent structure — not fragmented point solutions.

03

Built to Embed, Not Just License

Embedded data, API access, or white label — Dakota was designed to live inside your product, not compete with it.

04

A Dedicated Partnerships Team

Real people who scope your integration and your commercial model — not a self-serve signup form.

What It Costs to Build This Yourself

The alternative to partnering is expensive.

These are the six specific costs platforms absorb when they try to build private markets data in-house instead of partnering with Dakota.

Building an Allocator Database

Years of manual research with no guarantee of completeness or accuracy.

Typical cost: 2–3 years, dedicated research team
Licensing Multiple Point Solutions

Stitching together fragmented vendors across every asset class you need to cover.

Typical cost: $50K–$250K/year across vendors
Keeping Records Current

Someone has to catch every job change, firm move, and new market entrant.

Typical cost: ongoing dedicated headcount
Reconciling Inconsistent Schemas

Every vendor structures data differently — someone has to make it all fit together.

Typical cost: constant engineering overhead
Compliance Review Per Source

Legal and security review required for every new vendor relationship you add.

Typical cost: months per relationship
No Embedded Intelligence Layer

Competitors already offering Dakota-powered features pull ahead on perceived data depth.

Result: lost differentiation
