M&A Automation

Today on the Roll-Up: Datasite acquires Grata.

Grata deepens Datasite’s private market deal sourcing engine, enhancing their AI-led M&A automation platform. With 55k+ deals running through Datasite annually, the platform eliminates app-hopping across M&A workflows from deal source-to-close. Generative AI is deeply reshaping the buy-side: per Deloitte's 2025 M&A Trends Survey - 97% of respondent firms have begun incorporating GenAI or advanced analytics into dealmaking.
