Grata Raises $25M for its Intelligence Platform that Covers Private Companies
There are over 200K middle-market companies in the US that are estimated to earn over $10T in revenue and employ over 50M workers. Despite the size of this massive market, there hasn’t been a tremendous amount of attention in terms of intelligence on these companies at both an aggregate or individual level. Grata is a powerful intelligence engine focused on private companies.
