Dealroom.co, a global data platform focused on startups, high-growth companies and venture capital, has raised $7 million in a new investment round led by Indico Capital Partners, with participation from Rabobank and existing investors Beringea, Shoe Investments, and Knight Capital, the company said.
Founded in Amsterdam in 2013, Dealroom.co has built a business around tracking and analysing startup and venture capital activity globally, offering market intelligence on funding rounds, valuations, business models and emerging technology trends.
The platform uses data science and real-time monitoring to help users, including investors, corporates, governments and ecosystem organisations, search for companies, source deals, benchmark performance and identify fast-growing clusters of innovation.
Dealroom said its model relies on combining proprietary data assets with ecosystem-level collaboration. It works directly with governments, investors and partners across more than 100 tech ecosystems worldwide, aiming to provide comparable coverage across markets that often lack consistent reporting standards.
The company said the new funding would be used to accelerate international expansion, with an initial focus on scaling its presence in the United States. It also plans to invest further in its data assets, artificial intelligence-driven intelligence and product development, as it positions itself as a reference source for innovation ecosystem analytics.
“Data on tech and innovation has never been more crucial,” said Dealroom founder and CEO Yoram Wijngaarde, adding that more than 100 ecosystems use the platform to measure and showcase growth, and that the company aims to expand how it maps global tech ecosystems with greater depth and accuracy.
Indico said it was attracted by Dealroom’s combination of real-time data and partnerships that can generate forward-looking signals rather than only historical summaries. Stephan de Moraes, Managing General Partner at Indico Capital Partners, cited Dealroom’s office and team presence in Lisbon as evidence of its engagement with local ecosystems and stakeholders.
Dealroom said it expects the partnership to broaden its reach with global investors and deepen product capabilities for customers that use data to guide capital allocation, corporate strategy and policy decisions.
The deal underscores how venture markets are increasingly funding “infrastructure” businesses, data, tooling and intelligence platforms, that benefit whether investment cycles are hot or cold.
As private-market dealmaking becomes more selective and uneven across regions, the premium shifts to platforms that can standardise fragmented information and offer early indicators of where talent, capital and company formation are accelerating, helping investors and policymakers act before trends show up in headline deal flow.
