Everyone calls private-market data "thin."

The real problem is worse than thin.

Out of 100 private deals, only a handful ever disclose a valuation, and fewer still disclose real financials.

The few that do rarely match the stage, region or industry of the company you're actually trying to value.

So you end up anchoring a number on three or four loosely comparable deals and hoping they're close enough.

Below 1B in enterprise value, or in a niche sector, that sample basically runs out.

That's exactly the gap we built DealMatrix to close.

Rather than relying on comparable private deals that may not exist, we statistically capture how valuation behaves across the market and translate that to private companies.

➡️ EV/Sales & EV/EBITDA multiples categorized by industry, stage and region grounded in established financial theory rather than rules of thumb.

A derived benchmark, not a comp with a discount.

How thin does the data get in the sectors you work in, and what do you fall back on when the comps run out?

This morning the whole team gathered to watch Austria's World Cup match.

There was shouting, there was at least one spilled drink, and at the end of it, Austria won.

Now, we're an Austrian company. And a win like that deserves to be celebrated properly, so we're doing it the only way we know how.

So here's the logic: three goals went in, so we're giving away three licenses. We will be quietly ignoring the small detail that one of those goals was an own goal.

Here's the actual offer:
3 DealMatrix Professional licenses, €149 each instead of €490. That's the full platform, 15,000+ private-market multiples across 140+ industries, stage and region adjusted, with raw data export included.

The same thing funds and M&A teams use to anchor valuations they can actually defend in an IC memo, just at a price we'll probably regret by tomorrow.

Three goals, three licenses, first come first served. Once they're in the back of the net, that's full time.
