Grata Expands AI-Powered Market Intelligence to the UK, France, Germany, and Australia
Grata™, an AI-native private market intelligence platform and a business unit of Datasite®, has announced its expansion into key global markets, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Australia. This move provides dealmakers with unparalleled access to comprehensive private market intelligence and deal sourcing solutions, enabling them to achieve full market visibility and make smarter, faster decisions throughout the deal lifecycle.
The announcement comes on the heels of Grata’s recent acquisition by Datasite, a global SaaS provider of AI-powered workflow collaboration and automation solutions for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), investment projects, and strategic initiatives. The expansion is part of Datasite’s $500 million investment commitment to grow its intelligence solutions both organically and through strategic acquisitions.
Empowering Dealmakers with AI-Driven Insights
“Dealmakers need better tools to confidently navigate private markets, and this expansion ensures that more teams can access the comprehensive visibility they need to discover and evaluate opportunities with greater clarity,” said Andrew Bocskocsky, General Manager and Co-Founder of Grata. Leveraging Datasite’s robust global infrastructure and local market expertise—which includes over 500 employees across the EMEA region—Grata is bringing its AI-powered insights to regions where demand for private market data is rapidly accelerating.
Private markets are projected to reach nearly $30 trillion by 2033, underscoring the growing importance of accurate, actionable intelligence for dealmakers. Grata’s platform addresses this need by combining comprehensive, accurate, and searchable data on private companies with seamless, integrated dealmaking workflows. This empowers users to identify targets, conduct due diligence, and execute deals with precision and confidence.
Bridging the Data Gap in Private Markets
“There’s a pressing need for a solution that can provide a broader, clearer view of the private markets,” said Mark Williams, Global Chief Revenue Officer at Datasite. “Too often, organizations are forced to piece together partial information from tools that either have limited coverage or offer only a narrow slice of the data required for confident decision-making.”
Grata solves this challenge by delivering a holistic view of private markets, encompassing companies, deals, financials, contacts, and conferences. Combined with anonymized and aggregated insights from Datasite—which facilitates over 55,000 projects annually—the platform equips dealmakers with the visibility they need to navigate opportunities with confidence and precision.
Strategic Expansion and Growing Demand
Grata’s expansion into the UK, France, Germany, and Australia reflects the increasing demand for advanced market intelligence solutions in these regions. These markets are home to thriving private equity ecosystems, robust M&A activity, and a growing appetite for innovative technologies that streamline dealmaking processes. By bringing its AI-driven capabilities to these regions, Grata aims to empower dealmakers with the tools they need to stay competitive in an evolving landscape.
The expansion also aligns with Datasite’s broader growth strategy, which includes recent acquisitions such as Sherpany®, a Zurich-based provider of board reporting and meeting management software, and key businesses of Ansarada, a virtual data room provider in Australia and New Zealand. These initiatives underscore Datasite’s commitment to enhancing its product offerings and expanding its global footprint.
A Unified Vision for Smarter Deal Making
At the heart of Grata’s mission is the goal of helping knowledge workers—including dealmakers—work faster and smarter. From initial target identification to due diligence, deal execution, and close, Grata’s AI-powered platform streamlines workflows and eliminates inefficiencies. Rusty Wiley, Datasite President and CEO, emphasized this vision, stating, “We continue to invest to help knowledge workers work faster and smarter, from initial target identification and due diligence to deal execution and close.”
By integrating Grata’s capabilities with Datasite’s existing suite of tools, the company is creating a unified ecosystem that supports every stage of the dealmaking process. This synergy enables users to harness the power of AI-driven insights while benefiting from Datasite’s decades of experience in facilitating complex transactions.
Why This Expansion Matters
In today’s fast-paced private markets, having access to reliable, real-time data is no longer optional—it’s essential. Grata’s expansion into the UK, France, Germany, and Australia ensures that dealmakers in these regions can tap into a wealth of actionable intelligence, empowering them to identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and execute deals with greater efficiency.
The platform’s ability to deliver comprehensive market visibility is particularly valuable in regions like Europe and Australia, where private markets are becoming increasingly sophisticated and competitive. By providing dealmakers with a single source of truth, Grata eliminates the need to cobble together fragmented data from multiple sources, saving time and reducing errors.
