Grata's Buyers search allows you to identify investors who have already shown interest in similar industries or business models so that you can create a more targeted list of potential buyers for deals. You can access this proactive business development tool on the main landing page.
Buyer Search Filters
While using investor search, you are able to filter on
Keyword terms
Buyer details
Deal sectors
Deal Locations
Keyword Term
Searching for keywords is similar to that in a regular company search. For a refresher on how to do so, see the following article on keyword searching in Grata.
By default, using the keyword search will search for terms on the investment's website and return their respective buyer. However, in buyer search you have the ability to toggle between searching on the investment's website or the investor's website (either will return a list of buyers depending on your keyword search). You can do this by clicking on the dropdown highlighted below
Filter on Buyer or Deal Sectors
You can filter on certain Buyer or deal sectors as shown below
Search Results
Search results will show profiles of buyers based on your filters. Notice that in the table view (you can also switch to tile view in the top right corner of the results) of investor search you can see:
Total deals
Relevant deals
Add-on deals
You can edit other columns that are relevant to you by selecting "Edit" in the table settings.
You're able to view all relevant investments based on your search filters by selecting the link under "Relevant Deals." This will open up the mini profile view and under the "evidence" tab, you can view all the investments that were acquired matching your search criteria. Additionally, you can select the link under "Total Deals" and "Add-on Deals" to see a list of these companies as well.
