The data gets you in the room. The connection is what closes it.
Standalone performance data is table stakes now, most legacy fund databases can hand you a Net IRR and a TVPI. What most of them can't do is connect that number to who you already know. Dakota Private Markets ties fund and GP performance directly to Dakota's fundraiser-built LP relationship graph and GP & sponsor intelligence, so a benchmark isn't just a number sitting on its own, it sits next to the allocator relationships and firm context you'd otherwise have to go build in a second, disconnected tool.
That same connected dataset is now queryable at inference time through a native Claude connector, so a research or IR team can ask the question directly inside the tools they already work in, instead of opening a fifth login just to look it up.
A single, transparent price and a workflow already wired into your relationship data is what wins the deal, not the data in isolation, and not a quote-based, five-figure-plus enterprise contract.
Research-verified, not self-reported.
Every record in Dakota Private Markets, fund, sponsor, company, or transaction, is reviewed by a research team before publication. Not auto-populated from a filing, not scraped from a press release, and not taken at face value from a GP's marketing deck.
That verification step is what makes the data usable for diligence, origination, and fundraising conversations alike: everyone can trust the same number without re-checking the source.

Both. Dakota Private Markets covers fund performance, GP & sponsor intelligence (investment theses, portfolio companies, deal activity), private company transactions (sponsored and non-sponsored), and custom benchmarking.
Most performance databases stop at the fund record. Dakota Private Markets connects that same performance data to Dakota's fundraiser-built LP relationship graph and GP & sponsor intelligence, and makes the whole connected dataset queryable at inference time through a native Claude connector, so it doesn't just answer "what's the number," it sits next to who you already know. That's on top of a single, transparent $9,500/yr price instead of a quote-based, five-figure-plus enterprise contract.
Dakota Private Markets covers the private markets side: fund performance, GPs, portfolio companies, transactions, and benchmarking. Dakota Marketplace is the LP and allocator side, fundraising research and CRM workflows for reaching institutional and wealth-channel investors. Looking for LPs to raise capital from? That's Dakota Marketplace.
