Dealroom FAQ

Dealroom.co is a data platform that maps the world's tech ecosystems. It tracks 3.2M+ companies, including 1.5M+ startups, with funding rounds, valuations, revenue estimates, team growth, investor activity and market landscapes. Venture capital firms, corporates, governments and consultancies use it to discover companies, benchmark markets and monitor ecosystems. Dealroom was founded in Amsterdam in 2013.

Dealroom.co is used by venture capital and private equity firms, corporates, governments and economic development agencies, universities and consultancies. Customers include Microsoft, AWS, SAP, Stripe, McKinsey and BCG. More than 100 governments and ecosystem organisations run their public innovation portals on Dealroom, which is what makes its local coverage hard to replicate.

Dealroom.co combines five streams: official company filings and trade registers; a network of 100+ government and ecosystem partners feeding verified local data; user-submitted data from founders and investors, manually checked before publication; public sources such as news, job boards and websites; and Dealroom's own predictive models. AI-powered collection does the volume, human verification does the accuracy.

Dealroom.co uses AI-powered data collection verified by humans. Automated pipelines gather at scale, and analysts check what they produce. Because 100+ governments and ecosystem organisations run their own public portals on Dealroom data, errors surface and get corrected by the people closest to the companies. Founders and investors can also submit corrections directly, which are manually reviewed before going live.

Dealroom.co updates continuously rather than on a release cycle. Funding rounds, team changes and new company detections flow in daily. Newly detected companies and rounds appear as they are found and verified, not in a monthly batch. Public APIs expose live funding signals, so downstream tools and agents read the same freshness the platform does.

Yes. Dealroom.co combines official trade register filings with its own revenue prediction model, so a private company shows actual reported figures where they were filed and a modelled estimate where they were not. That is a genuine view of a private company's books rather than a funding total used as a proxy for size, a distinction most startup databases cannot make.

Dealroom.co reports disclosed valuations where they exist and models an estimate where they do not, using funding history, revenue data and comparable multiples from similar companies. Estimates are labelled as estimates. Dealroom also publishes public market multiples openly, so the comparables behind a valuation range can be inspected rather than taken on trust.

Yes, and it is free. Founders and company teams can claim a profile on Dealroom.co and submit or correct funding, team, revenue and product information; submissions are manually verified before publication. Company profiles are publicly visible and indexed, so an accurate, complete profile is how investors, corporates and AI research tools find and describe a company correctly.

Dealroom.co tracks 3.2M+ companies globally, of which 1.5M+ are startups and 500K+ are European startups. It recorded 9,242 VC rounds across Europe and Israel in 2024, and holds tech stack data on 1M+ companies. Figures are as of August 2026. Coverage counts differ in definition between platforms, so Dealroom publishes how it measures rather than only the headline number.

Dealroom.co covers companies worldwide and is the strongest platform available for Europe, where it tracks 500K+ startups and holds deep coverage of the UK, Nordics, DACH and Southern Europe. Its 100+ government and ecosystem partnerships extend that local depth into the Middle East, Asia and the Americas, surfacing companies that never appear in a press release.

Yes, and this is Dealroom.co's strongest differentiator. It detects founders before their first funding round, tracks university spin-outs and grant recipients, and surfaces companies by what they actually build through granular keyword search. Dealroom Signal then ranks which of them are most likely to raise next. Databases built around announced funding rounds cannot see companies at this stage at all.

Yes. Dealroom.co holds profiles for venture capital firms, private equity funds, corporate investors, angels and LPs, covering portfolios, co-investors, round participation, stage and sector focus. It also publishes open investor rankings built on power-law returns rather than deal count. Investor profiles are publicly accessible, so a fund's track record can be checked without a subscription.

Yes. Dealroom.co tracks acquisitions, IPOs and SPAC exits alongside funding rounds, linking each exit to the company, its investors and the returns implied for them. It publishes open dashboards of VC-backed exits and public market multiples. Note that Dealroom.co provides exit data as market intelligence; it is not a transaction management or due diligence tool.

Dealroom.co supports four main jobs: discover companies matching a thesis, sector or technology; track markets and competitors with live dashboards and alerts; benchmark an ecosystem, fund or company against peers; and publish data through APIs or a white-label portal. Users search 3.2M+ companies, build lists, set up alerts, export data and pipe it into their own tools.

Yes. Dealroom.co offers full API access to companies, investors, funding rounds and market data, on a dedicated API plan. It also runs an MCP server, so AI agents and assistants can query Dealroom data directly, plus public no-authentication endpoints on the website for market maps, live funding signals and reports (a free sample, separate from the full API). A new API is in closed beta; request early access at dealroom.co/api/. Documentation and a machine-readable index sit at dealroom.co/llms.txt.

Dealroom Signal is a predictive ranking of which companies are most likely to raise funding next, across pre-seed, Series A and breakout stages. It scores momentum such as team strength, hiring velocity, employee growth and founder track record, rather than recording rounds after they close. It is the difference between a database of what happened and a pipeline of what is about to.

Yes. Dealroom.co pushes data into existing workflows through its API, and higher plans include CRM integration and business email credits for outreach. Teams commonly sync Dealroom company and funding data into their own CRM, data warehouse or deal-flow tool so sourcing signals arrive where the team already works rather than in a separate tab.

Yes. This is Dealroom.co's white-label ecosystem product. Governments, universities and ecosystem organisations run branded public portals on Dealroom data, giving their local community open access to the startup landscape. More than 100 ecosystem partners run this way, and their local knowledge flows back in to improve coverage for everyone.

Dealroom.co publishes its plan pricing at dealroom.co/pricing, across Premium, Premium Plus, Enterprise and API tiers. Plans are billed annually and scaled by seats, modules and data needs, so the right tier depends on team size and whether you need API access or custom datasets.

Yes, a substantial amount of Dealroom.co is free and needs no account: public company and investor profiles, market maps, sector and country pages, published reports, open dashboards, and no-authentication APIs for market maps and live funding signals. A free trial of the paid platform is also available. Search, alerts, bulk export and API access require a paid plan.

Founders can claim and maintain their company profile on Dealroom.co for free, and anyone can read public profiles, market maps and reports without paying. Dealroom also offers discounted pricing for qualified startups and nonprofit organisations, and works with universities on research access. Eligibility is confirmed by the Dealroom team.
