Reinventing M&A deal sourcing to unlock your inorganic growth potential!
Living Our Values at Work
Our vision
To proactively identify M&A or investment opportunities for all stakeholders from the entire universe globally with a very deep contextual lens, while keeping the entire process discreet without any fear of information or intent leaking. Enable every company whether large, mid-size or small that is looking to acquire, to become a Programmatic M&A player (initially promoted by McKinsey.) Reduce the noise in the discovery process and the time to get to LoI by a magnitude which is critical in making smaller acquisitions more attractive.
Our mission
Shift the power dynamics – enable a level playing field, for both parties by discovering suitable synergistic targets with intent and also remove the market-knowledge gap on valuation/deal structure. This will unlock 5 times more deals to close as both the parties will align a lot closer to realistic market expectations.
Our Story
Meet Maneesh Bhandari, the Co-founder and CEO of GrowthPal. With a wealth of experience as an M&A Head at a large enterprise, ex-startup founder with successful exit and an angel investor, Maneesh has witnessed the entire wagonwheel of the M&A ecosystem firsthand.
In his journey as he was exiting his first venture and while he was active investor, he identified major gaps in M&A deal sourcing that were mainly due to:
- Lack of reliable data and intelligent signals on small to mid-size companies,
- Corp Dev teams' limited bandwidth to source quality targets,
- Lack of platforms to source companies without a lot of noise,
- Lack of realistic market data on similar companies' valuation and deal structures,
- Investment bankers' vested interest in pushing sell-side mandates rather than finding targets per the buy-side's requirements.
This is where Maneesh, along with Shalu, decided to start GrowthPal and build a data-driven technology platform for corporates, high-growth and late-stage startups to help them find relevant and off-market targets that may be outside their network from the entire universe. Amar joined a little later and brought a wealth of tech and engineering experience to lead as co-founder and CTO.
At GrowthPal, we are dedicated to cultivating a qualified M&A pipeline for our customers through our innovative and data-driven approach. We are committed to becoming the go-to partner for companies seeking reliable and actionable intelligence for small to mid acquisitions, acquihire or strategic investments. Our value proposition is to get the most synergistic targets with high intent to sell and be the catalyst to get them to sign LoI with close to realistic market expectations.
