If you’ve ever been responsible for raising capital or sourcing deals, you know one thing: databases are expensive.
But they’re also essential.
Without the right data, it’s nearly impossible to get meetings, build relationships, or close any opportunities.
That’s one of the reasons we built dakota marketplace. It’s designed to take the guesswork out of fundraising and deal sourcing by putting the most accurate, up-to-date allocator and company data in one place.
And because one of the first questions people ask us is, “How much does dakota marketplace cost?” – we want to be upfront and transparent.
In this article, we’ll breakdown the cost and value of dakota marketplace.
