SHARE ON

MCLEAN, VA – KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce that its client, LandGate Corp. (“LandGate” or the “Company”), has been acquired by Wood Mackenzie, a portfolio company of Veritas Capital (“Veritas”).

Headquartered in Denver, CO, LandGate is a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered data and analytics solutions for energy and critical infrastructure sectors. Founded in 2016, the Company’s proprietary data and analytics platform leverages insights on the U.S. power transmission grid and more than 150 million land parcels in the U.S. to support capital allocation and site selection decisions for data centers, power and renewables projects, and other energy infrastructure assets. 

LandGate operates uniquely at the intersection of energy, critical infrastructure, data center and AI infrastructure and real estate markets. The Company’s platform maps and links energy and critical infrastructure data to every land parcel in the U.S. The Company’s solutions support a wide range of use cases for multiple segments across core end markets—including data centers and AI infrastructure developers, renewable energy and other power infrastructure developers, real estate, and capital markets, among others—enabling stakeholders to make highly informed decisions regarding investments, project risks, and growth opportunities.

The acquisition aligns with Wood Mackenzie’s strategic focus on delivering connected intelligence for the new era of U.S. power markets. By integrating LandGate’s proprietary parcel-level land intelligence dataset and analytics, Wood Mackenzie will significantly enhance its comprehensive market intelligence suite for developers, investors and grid operators with the tools needed to navigate a rapidly evolving energy transition.

We believe this transaction demonstrates several key trends in the energy and critical infrastructure technology M&A market:

- Proprietary data advantage and moats are paramount in the AI era: Strategic buyers and financial sponsors are prioritizing targets with deep, hard-to-replicate foundational datasets

- Heightened focus on targets that enable a single, unified decision-making ecosystem: Solutions addressing the full development lifecycle, replacing historically siloed approaches

- Continued appetite for data and intelligence tools that facilitate expansion: Persistent demand remains for tools that facilitate the rapid expansion of power-hungry data centers and energy infrastructure to accelerate the AI era, grid modernization, and energy transition

- Continued strength and momentum in energy and critical infrastructure data and analytics M&A activity: Momentum is driven especially by private equity-backed platforms seeking to consolidate fragmented markets and bolt-on highly specialized assets to offer unified solutions for critical infrastructure sectors
