Top 10 Private Company Transaction Prompts

3:25

Private company transaction data is incredibly powerful, but you have to be able to get to it quickly.

If you're on a deal team, you know the drill… ene tab for spreadsheets, another for news alerts, and a separate database login. Then a CRM export. All just to answer what should be a simple question: Who just bought what? Who’s raising? Who’s active in this sector?

By the time everything is pieced together, the window to act can feel a lot smaller.

Dakota Joe was built to solve this.

Embedded directly inside Dakota Marketplace, Dakota Joe lets you type a natural-language question and instantly generate a structured, ready-to-use transaction report. No toggling. No manual compiling. No waiting.
