AI-Powered Target Identification
for M&A Deal Sourcing

Discover and screen acquisition targets from 70M+ companies using AI that understands your strategic intent. Build qualified target lists in minutes instead of weeks.

Why Traditional Target Identification Falls Short

Corporate development teams waste weeks on manual screening processes that produce incomplete, outdated, and strategically misaligned target lists.

🔍

Needle in a Haystack

Finding the right acquisition targets among millions of companies is impossibly manual. Analysts spend weeks sifting through databases, LinkedIn, and industry reports just to assemble an initial long list that barely scratches the surface.

📉

Outdated Databases

Traditional databases have stale data and limited coverage of private companies. By the time you find a promising target, the information may be months or years old, and the best private acquisition opportunities never appear at all.

🎯

Narrow Search Criteria

Keyword-based search misses companies that match strategically but use different terminology. A company solving the exact problem you need may describe itself in ways that never match your predefined industry codes or keyword filters.
