PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 19, 2025--

Dakota Marketplace, a leading provider of investment intelligence for fundraisers and deal sourcers, today announced the launch of its Private Fund Performance & Custom Benchmarking dataset, a comprehensive new resource covering 14,000+ private funds across Private Equity, Private Credit, Venture Capital, Private Real Estate, Private Infrastructure, and Private Energy.

The release marks a major expansion of Dakota’s platform, offering one of the most extensive and unified views of private markets performance available today. As private markets continue to grow in scale and strategic importance, investment teams are seeking deeper visibility, faster access to meaningful analytics, and more affordable alternatives to legacy data providers.

“With private markets becoming an essential part of global portfolios, the performance data that guides investment decisions has never been more critical,” said Gui Costin, Founder and CEO of Dakota Marketplace. “Yet access to this information has historically been limited to only the largest firms. Dakota is changing that.”

Dakota will introduce Dakota Private Funds & Benchmarks as part of the Dakota Marketplace subscription, while also offering it as a standalone product priced at $2,995 per user per year, providing institutional-grade analytics at an accessible price point.

The new dataset and benchmarking suite includes:

• Deep performance analytics backed by data from 14,000+ private funds across every major asset class
• Custom benchmarking tools for manager, peer, fund-type, and vintage comparisons — with fully customizable benchmarking to compare funds by vintage and investment approach
• Seamless integrations via API and the Snowflake Data Cloud
• Daily updates curated by Dakota’s dedicated data research team

“Our mission is to democratize access to private markets intelligence,” Costin added. “By removing the barriers to high-quality fund performance data, we’re empowering investors, allocators, and fundraisers to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.”

With this launch, Dakota Marketplace strengthens its position as one of the most comprehensive, accurate, and accessible sources of investment intelligence across the private markets landscape.
