Case Study: First Analysis maps competitive landscapes and improves deal sourcing with Grata

How First Analysis Maps Competitive Landscapes

First Analysis, a venture capital and investment banking firm, was struggling to find a scalable way to identify privately owned, bootstrapped businesses for its investment pipelines. Their previous methods, which involved manual Google searches and other platforms, were inefficient for sourcing very early-stage companies with limited employee counts. They turned to Grata, a deal sourcing platform, to address this challenge.

Using Grata's AI-powered search, First Analysis was able to efficiently map competitive landscapes and find hundreds of net new quality companies. The platform provided crucial data points like executive contacts and company details, saving analysts significant time. As a result, Grata helped First Analysis add 200-300 new prospects to their outreach, and over 50% of their industry reports now incorporate data sourced from Grata.
