A Dealert Alternative
That Links Deals to Owners and People

Dealert is a transaction database for small and mid-cap deals. AcquityData links deals to the firms, owners, advisors and professionals behind them. Here is when each is the better tool.

In short

Dealert is built around precedent transactions and estimated valuation ranges for small and mid-cap deals. AcquityData is built around relationships: who owns a company, which PE firm invests, who advised and who sits on the board. Choose Dealert for comparable-deal sets, AcquityData for ownership and people, or use both.
