Grata Alternatives for Switzerland
Grata is excellent for sourcing founder-owned mid-market companies in the US and Canada — but it excludes Switzerland from its coverage. ValIndex is the Swiss-native equivalent: primary-source data, an 18-factor revenue model, succession scoring, share-deal detection, roll-up mapping and government-revenue depth, on the Swiss SME base Grata doesn't reach.

Where ValIndex goes deeper on Switzerland
Switzerland is covered, not excluded
Grata’s strength is the US/Canada mid-market; Switzerland sits outside its coverage. ValIndex is built only for Switzerland, on Swiss primary sources — verified, not inferred.
An 18-factor Swiss revenue model where Grata has a gap
Grata does not cover Swiss financials. ValIndex estimates with an 18+ factor Swiss model and layers actual government-procurement revenue on top.
Pre-deal signals backtested on 28,545 Swiss deals
M&A captured directly from the Swiss register, plus 10 pre-deal signals backtested on 28,545 real Swiss acquisitions and mergers (2016–2025) — calibrated to prove which actually predict a sale.
Swiss roll-up mapping, not US roll-up mapping
Grata maps consolidation for the US; ValIndex maps buy-and-build opportunities sector by sector across Switzerland, from deep Swiss sector knowledge a US-centric tool can’t match.
Built by an active Swiss acquirer — a private-data flywheel
Owner conversations and on-the-ground deals feed proprietary, off-market Swiss intelligence into ValIndex — a compounding moat a North-America-first platform won’t build for Switzerland.

Frequently asked questions
Does Grata cover Switzerland?
Grata covers company identity broadly but excludes Switzerland from its financial coverage. ValIndex is purpose-built for Switzerland on primary sources.
What is the best Grata alternative for Swiss deal sourcing?
ValIndex — the Swiss-native sourcing platform with register-complete coverage, succession scoring, government-revenue intelligence, roll-up mapping and share-deal detection.
Is Grata still independent?
Grata was acquired by Datasite in 2025 (and SourceScrub is merging into it). Its strength remains US/large-market mid-market sourcing, not Swiss depth.
