dealroom.co

Dealroom.co is a global data platform providing intelligence on startups, high-growth companies, and technology ecosystems. The company was founded in Amsterdam in 2013 by Yoram Wijngaarde, who currently serves as the CEO. The founding was a direct response to the lack of transparent, centralized data on private companies, particularly within Europe's emerging startup scene. Wijngaarde leveraged his background in finance and venture capital, including roles at Lehman Brothers, Nomura, and as Director at NOAH Advisors, to address the market inefficiency he observed. The platform combines machine learning and AI with robust verification processes to aggregate and analyze vast amounts of data from public sources like news, company filings, and investor portfolios. This technology provides clients with real-time data, predictive intelligence, and deep insights into funding rounds, valuations, market trends, and company growth signals. Dealroom's business model is centered on providing this intelligence to a diverse client base that includes venture capital firms, corporate entities, government organizations, and entrepreneurs. Clients like Sequoia, Google, Stripe, and McKinsey use the platform for deal sourcing, due diligence, and market analysis. A key differentiator for Dealroom.co is its collaborative approach with governments and local ecosystem builders. The company partners with over 100 tech ecosystems globally, from Austin to Nairobi, to create public-facing ecosystem maps and unlock proprietary data. This strategy not only enhances data quality but also helps these ecosystems gain visibility and attract investment. The company has secured multiple funding rounds to fuel its product development and international expansion, including a Series A in 2020 and a $7 million round in January 2026 to accelerate its presence in the US.
