Common questions

Everything you need to know about the Dedale platform, from getting started to integrating intelligence into your deal workflow.

How long does it take to get value out of the platform?

Most teams run their first market scan within the hour. The platform is built for immediate use, no onboarding call required, no setup. If you're running an active mandate, you can pull a market primer, shortlist companies, and check deal comparables the same day you get access.

How recent is the intelligence on the platform?

New content is published every week across all covered segments. Company profiles are updated following new expert interviews, funding rounds, and M&A events. Deal tracking is continuous. You'll always see when a piece of content was last reviewed.

Who are the experts behind the research?

Every piece of content on the platform is signed by a Thematic Lead, an in-house analyst with dedicated coverage of a specific technology market. Their background, coverage area, and the expert interviews they conducted are visible directly on the platform. You always know who produced what, and why they're qualified to produce it.

When does it make sense to use Advisory rather than the platform alone?

The platform covers the foundational intelligence layer, market structure, competitive dynamics, company profiles, deal flow. Advisory makes sense when you need a structured deliverable: a full CDD, a Voice of Customer study, or a bespoke market segmentation. Most clients use both, the platform for ongoing coverage, Advisory for mandate-specific depth.

Which geographies does Dedale Intelligence cover?

Dedale covers North America, the UK, DACH, the Nordics, and France as primary markets, with broader coverage on global software transactions and company profiles. Geographic coverage varies by segment, your demo will show you exactly what's available for your focus areas.

Is Dedale Intelligence priced per seat or per team?

Pricing is tailored to your team's size and use case, there's no one-size-fits-all plan. Whether you're a two-person deal team or a multi-geography fund, we'll scope something that fits. Reach out and we'll put together a proposal within 24 hours.
