Dakota Marketplace | Private Equity Deal Teams

For dealmakers, the difference between winning and losing a transaction often comes down to information.

Dakota Marketplace was built to give you the clearest, most complete picture of the sponsor-backed private company universe, so you can focus on sourcing and closing opportunities rather than searching for them.

Full C-suite and board details, including bios and contact information

Ownership and sponsor information to track deal cycles

Transaction histories across M&A, funding rounds, and exits

Dynamic peer lists and competitor mapping

Estimated revenues, employee counts, and growth signals

Coverage of investment banks, law firms, and advisors driving deals

That Means Your Team Can

Dakota Marketplace updates 2,000+ transactions every month and integrates sponsor cycle intelligence so your team can anticipate when deals are about to come to market. No other platform offers this level of accuracy and curation.

Build actionable market maps in minutes, not months - identify every company in a sector or refine further based on accurate industry, sub-industry, and segment tagging.

Spot “likely-to-transact” signals - know when sponsors are nearing an exit window or when a portfolio company is ripe for a bolt-on.

Spend more time building relationships - because your pipeline is already organized and prioritized.

Benchmark coverage - see the entire market of 214,000+ sponsor and non-sponsor-backed companies instead of only the few hundred in your CRM.

Get automatic updates whenever a tracked company, sponsor, or executive changes - from ownership shifts and financings to executive moves and news.
