How we built your data

Finance professionals spent days gathering capital-market data from scattered sources — then defending every figure in audits and court.

smartZebra ends that: one database, sourced from leading global providers and local registries, with each data point traceable, transparent, and documented to valuation and OECD transfer-pricing standards.

So every WACC, beta, multiple, and benchmark holds up.

Trusted by valuation and transfer-pricing experts worldwide

Team

Meet the Zebras.

The people behind the data

Founded in 2017 in Cottbus, Germany, smartZebra GmbH set out to give professionals the reliable source for valuation and transfer-pricing data.

The team has since grown into a group of valuation & transfer pricing specialists, data engineers, and finance enthusiasts — today working mainly from our Berlin office in Prenzlauer Berg, alongside our registered base in Cottbus.

smartZebra is privately held and has grown steadily since the establishment, raising its registered share capital over time (most recently in 2026) as it reinvests in data and product.
