Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Dasseti develops software for the institutional investment sector that digitizes the collection, management and exchange of due diligence, investor relations and ESG data. Its platform is organized into three products: Dasseti COLLECT, used by asset owners, consultants and limited partners to build and distribute due diligence questionnaires, track funds and managers, score and compare responses, and manage research documents; Dasseti ENGAGE, an investor relations toolset used by asset managers and GPs to respond to RFPs, DDQs and consultant database requests from a central Q&A bank; and Harvest by Dasseti, an ESG metric collection, aggregation and analysis platform for LPs, GPs and funds of funds investing in private markets, including holdings-level data collection and benchmarking via EDCI and Clarity AI.

The products emphasize automation and AI: document scraping and natural language processing to pre-fill questionnaires from manager documents, an embedded AI assistant branded Sidekick for extraction and at-scale response review, automated flags and reminders, customizable dashboards and reporting, and integrations with Outlook, SharePoint, Microsoft Word and Excel, Chrome, CRM systems, GP data rooms and a two-way integration with Nasdaq eVestment. Dasseti positions its offering as covering both public and private market assets, with use cases spanning operational and investment due diligence, third-party and sub-advisor monitoring, portfolio monitoring and regulatory compliance, including a free SEC Form ADV module.

Founding story

Dasseti was founded in 2018 by Wissem Souissi, who had previously worked at Moody's Analytics, BlackRock eFront and Nasdaq eVestment. He observed that institutional investors and asset managers were burdened by manual, time-consuming workflows across due diligence, RFPs, ESG and client reporting, and created the company to streamline that data collection and management. The name Dasseti is described as a Buddhist word meaning to show, reveal or make visible.

Business model

Dasseti licenses software platforms to institutional investment organizations, with separate products aimed at the buy-side (COLLECT for allocators, consultants and LPs), the sell-side (ENGAGE for asset managers and GPs) and ESG/sustainability teams (Harvest). Client engagement begins with demo requests, and the company describes dedicated implementation, customer success, account management and 24-hour global support teams supporting internal and external users.

Traction

The company reports over 60 employees, clients in more than 40 countries and offices on four continents, and states that tens of thousands of organizations rely on it for due diligence and ESG workflows. A published case study cites 85% of answers auto-filled from a Q&A bank using Dasseti ENGAGE. Nasdaq's planned acquisition cites Dasseti's network of general partners and alternatives managers as an addition to eVestment's coverage.

Latest developments

On 24 July 2026 Dasseti announced it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Nasdaq, with the business to be integrated into Nasdaq eVestment; financial terms were not disclosed and closing was expected in the third quarter of 2026 subject to customary closing conditions. Shortly before, in June 2026, the company launched its Nasdaq eVestment Omni integration for managing consultant database narratives alongside DDQs and RFPs.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Dasseti operates in the investment data and due diligence technology segment, competing at the intersection of DDQ/RFP automation, manager monitoring and private markets ESG reporting. It describes itself as award-winning in due diligence, ESG data collection and data management, and won Solution Provider of the Year – ODD at the 2026 Private Equity Wire European Awards. Nasdaq framed the planned acquisition as adding due diligence and monitoring workflows that have historically operated separately from manager research platforms, and as deepening eVestment's coverage of private market managers.

Dasseti offers a single vendor covering both sides of the data exchange — collection by allocators and response by managers — plus private markets ESG data at GP, fund and holdings level. It states it operates the only direct integration between an RFP platform and Nasdaq eVestment Omni, allowing consultant database narratives to be managed alongside DDQs and RFPs in one workflow, and highlights asset-class-agnostic coverage, customizable questionnaires and AI-based document ingestion.

Technology

The platforms combine a configurable questionnaire engine with AI and automation: natural language processing and document scraping to ingest data from documents in any format, AI-powered file interrogation to pre-fill questionnaires, AI smart search for review, automated scoring and comparison of responses, and an embedded AI assistant called Sidekick for due diligence extraction and for drafting RFP/DDQ answers by matching question intent to approved content. Additional capabilities include workflow and collaboration tools, audit trails, analytics dashboards, customizable report templates, APIs, and integrations with Outlook, SharePoint, Microsoft Office, Chrome, CRMs, data rooms and Nasdaq eVestment Omni.

Go-to-market

Dasseti sells directly through regional sales teams (including heads of sales for EMEA & APAC and a Head of Americas) with demo-led inbound conversion, supported by content marketing such as best-practice guides on digitizing ODD and due diligence, case studies, insights articles and industry awards. It also partners with investment industry associations and other solution providers, and is listed in third-party vendor directories such as The Wealth Mosaic.

Institutional investors and asset owners, investment consultants, limited partners and funds of funds, asset managers and general partners, and ESG/sustainability and impact teams — ranging from large global asset managers to niche private markets investors. Named clients and referenced users include KBI Global Investors, perfORM, Deloitte Consulting's investment and wealth advisory practice, NGS Super, Bennelong Funds Management and SunLife Capital Management.
