ACG Announces Grata as an Official Sponsor of Growth

The Association for Corporate Growth® (ACG) announced today that Grata, the leading private markets platform that unifies dealmaking and market intelligence into a single solution, has signed on as a 2025 Official Sponsor of Growth℠ (OSG), the middle-market M&A association’s highest sponsorship level.

Its status as an OSG partner aligns with Grata’s mission to become the only end-to-end private markets platform as it expands its presence among middle-market dealmakers and their dealmaking partners. Grata recently launched its Grata Deal Network (GDN), which streamlines access to active, qualified deals, enabling buyers to browse live mandates from verified sell-side advisors.

“ACG’s broad network creates a natural synergy, ensuring more dealmakers can leverage GDN to find and connect with the right opportunities faster,” says Will Boyle, vice president of marketing for Grata. “As an OSG, our partnership with ACG enhances our visibility among 100,000+ investors, M&A professionals and corporate development teams, positioning Grata as the go-to solution for private market sourcing and intelligence.”

ACG and Grata have been active collaborators since 2020, with Grata’s participation in ACG’s DealMAX® event a highlight of their partnership.

“Welcoming Grata as an OSG partner was a natural evolution of our relationship,” says ACG CEO Brent Baxter. “They have been a welcome presence at DealMAX over the years. Our attendees get an inside look into Grata’s latest innovations that drive dealmaking efficiency, while Grata gains an opportunity to strengthen relationships with target customers and understand their evolving needs. It’s a win-win.”

ACG serves a vibrant community of more than 13,000 middle-market M&A professionals, who OSG sponsors reach through brand exposure at events like DealMAX, the premier conference for middle-market M&A professionals, thought leadership opportunities via ACG’s media channels, and more.
