The Price of Access

Private markets data has been
priced out of reach. Until now.

For decades, access to private markets intelligence, fund performance data, GP profiles, portfolio company records, and transaction history, has been gated behind enterprise contracts that cost $50,000 to $200,000 per year. The data existed. The insights existed. But only the largest institutions could afford the tools to act on them.

The result was a structural information advantage that compounded year after year in favor of firms with the largest compliance budgets, not necessarily the best deal teams or the sharpest analysts. Dakota was built to end that.

Private markets data, fund performance, GP intelligence, portfolio company records, verified transactions, has been priced at $50,000 to $200,000 a year for decades. We built Dakota to deliver equal or better intelligence at $2,995 per user per year. The information advantage should not belong only to the firms with the largest compliance budgets.

The Dakota Data Advantage

Four Datasets. One Platform. Every Deal Professional.

Dakota Private Markets was built differently. Every company record, every GP contact, every fund, every transaction is researched and verified by our team before it enters the platform. The standard is simple: would a deal professional stake a client relationship on this data? If not, it does not go in.

Private Company Intelligence

642,000+ private companies across 11 sectors, sponsor-backed and independent, with verified C-suite contacts, revenue and employee estimates, ownership structure, and growth signals. 143,000+ sponsor-backed portcos mapped to their GP, fund, and acquisition history. 500,000+ independent businesses across every US sector and geography.

The Dakota Difference

Built by deal professionals,
for deal professionals.

Most private markets databases were built by data engineers who never sat across from a GP or sourced a deal. They aggregate from press releases, scrape regulatory filings, and call it intelligence. The result is a database that is broad but shallow. Dakota is built differently.

01   Curated, Not Scraped
Every record researched and verified by our team before it enters the platform

No algorithmic mislabeling. No stale data from a press release six months ago. The standard is simple: would a deal professional stake a client relationship on this data? If not, it does not go in. That standard applies to every company, every GP, every fund, and every transaction in the database.

02   Full Participant Visibility
Every transaction includes buyers, sellers, lenders, advisors, investment banks, and law firms

The complete relationship map on every deal, not just the headline from a press release. 20,000+ verified private market transactions across PE, VC, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure, mapped to GP, fund, and portfolio company for complete deal context. Growing at 2,000 new verified deals per month.

03   Updated Daily, Not Quarterly
Personnel changes, new deals, fund launches, and company transitions reflected immediately

Not months later. Every ownership change, executive move, new transaction, fund launch, and portfolio company transition is reflected in real time. The picture you see today is the picture that is accurate today. That is the standard every deal team needs and almost no data provider delivers.

04   Integrated Into Your Workflow
Salesforce-native with full DealCloud, Affinity, Dynamo, and API support

Dakota lives inside the tools your team already uses, not as a separate tab that requires context switching. Intelligence flows directly into the workflows your deal team already runs. Native Salesforce integration, full CRM compatibility, and direct API access for teams that want to embed data directly into their analytical systems.

Market Mapping & Competitive Tracking

Track funding rounds, late-stage transactions, and growth equity deals in your investment focus. Identify which companies are attracting institutional capital, which investors are most active in adjacent categories, and where exits and secondaries are materializing.
