In investment banking, the pace is relentless.
Opportunities surface and disappear in hours, or sometimes minutes. And when the data you’re relying on is fragmented, outdated, or buried in spreadsheets, staying ahead feels impossible.
You know the drill:
- A deal gets announced, and you weren’t in the room.
- A GP launches a fund, and you find out too late.
- A company you’ve been tracking gets scooped up before you even get a meeting.
It’s not for lack of hustle. It’s the reality of trying to keep up in a market that never hits pause.
We’ve seen that frustration firsthand. That’s exactly why we built Dakota Marketplace: To be the tool investment bankers rely on to move faster, see more, and never miss a beat.
