The Problem

You're working off data
you can't actually trust.

Your firm pays $30,000 a year for a platform that scraped your comp set from a press release and called it intelligence. You know this. You've had to clean the data yourself before putting it in front of a client.

Dakota is different. We've spent nearly three decades building the private markets database that deal professionals actually rely on — not because we're the only option, but because our data holds up when it matters most.

At $2,995 annually, the question isn't whether you can afford it. The question is whether you can afford to keep working without it.

"We didn't scrape this. We built it over 28 years."

02

Performance data across 14,000+ private funds including IRR, TVPI, DPI, and RVPI — verified and maintained, not crowd-sourced. Walk into any LP or buyer conversation fully armed.

03

Private Company Transactions

Deal-level transaction data across sponsored and non-sponsored businesses — entry multiples, deal structures, and sector coverage that holds up in a pitch book.

$2,995 / year. All in.

04

Custom Benchmarking

Build bespoke fund performance benchmarks by vintage, strategy, geography, and size. Stop using published indices that don't reflect your client's actual portfolio.

05

Non-Sponsored Business Data

Proprietary coverage of non-sponsored companies — a market most databases ignore entirely. Ideal for origination teams running proactive outreach.

06

Curated. Maintained. Accurate.

Every record reviewed by our research team. No auto-populated fields. No stale SEC filings relabeled as intelligence. Data you can put in front of a client on day one.

Who It's For

Built for professionals who live in private markets.

Whether you're on the buy side building IC memos or the sell side pitching mandates, Dakota gives you the intelligence layer your current stack is missing.

For Deal Teams

The intelligence layer your model is missing.

You're already running the numbers. Dakota gives you the context — sponsor track records, portfolio benchmarks, comp transactions, and fund-level intelligence your existing subscriptions don't carry.

  • Validate entry multiples against real transaction comps
  • Benchmark a fund's DPI before entering the room
  • Map sponsor activity by sector and hold period
  • Understand a buyer's portfolio before outreach
  • Build the IC memo with data that won't be questioned
For Investment Bankers

Know your buyer before you make the call.

Your pitch book is only as credible as your data. Dakota gives M&A and capital markets professionals the intelligence to identify active sponsors, validate comps, and close mandates.

  • Identify active PE buyers by sector and deal size
  • Comp private transactions for client pitch books
  • Map the sponsor universe for a specific target profile
  • Support fund placement with verified performance data
  • Differentiate your process from day one of the mandate
Why Dakota

Built for the deal. Not the demo.

Four reasons deal professionals choose Dakota over platforms that cost ten times more.

28 Years of Proprietary Curation

We've been building this dataset since before most of the platforms you currently use existed. That history is not replicable.

Research-Verified Records

Our team reviews every record. Nothing is auto-populated from a regulatory filing and called intelligence. Clean data, every time.

No Per-Seat Pricing

$2,995 annually. No per-seat add-ons, no module pricing, no enterprise tier you have to unlock. One price for the whole product.

Purpose-Built for Private Markets

Not a horizontal data platform trying to serve every financial workflow. Dakota is built for professionals who live in private markets — and nothing else.

The Math Is Simple

One wrong comp. One missed relationship.
One deal without context.

The cost of bad data compounds every quarter. Dakota doesn't.
