Dakota is great for pensions. But what about family offices?

You're not alone. Thousands of fund managers have felt the same frustration with Dakota. Here's what they tell us—and how LPbacked is different.

Sound familiar?

These are real frustrations we hear from fund managers who switched from Dakota.

Institutional focus leaves gaps

Dakota excels at pension funds and consultants. Family offices, endowments, and international LPs? Coverage is thinner.

Annual contracts lock you in

Like most enterprise tools, Dakota requires annual commitments. No monthly option for fund managers testing the waters.

US-centric coverage

Strong in North America, weaker internationally. If you're targeting LPs in Europe, Asia, or the Middle East, you'll find gaps.

Pricing still enterprise-tier

Better than PitchBook or Preqin, but still $10K-$25K/year. That's a significant commitment for emerging managers.

What Dakota users say

“Great for pension fund data but my family office coverage is weak”

“Needed LPs in Europe, barely any coverage outside the US”

“Annual contract was a gamble for my first fundraise”

“Good product but the price doesn't make sense for a small fund”

“Had to supplement with other tools for international LPs”
