The real problem
Corp Dev teams are usually small relative to what they're being asked to do. One or two people covering a global mandate, managing internal stakeholders, running diligence on active deals, and somehow also expected to maintain a live pipeline of future targets.
The sourcing part falls through the gap. Databases get queried in bursts. A list gets built, reviewed once, and goes stale. Months later someone asks why the pipeline is thin.

Six steps from mandate to ready-to-transact pipeline
Acquisition thesis, sector focus, geographies, capability gaps, revenue or team size range. The AI derives a structured criteria set from it and builds the initial universe.
60+ data sources, 1.5M+ tracked technology sector companies, updated signals on each. The system surfaces targets that match your mandate and flags when relevant signals change on companies already in your pipeline.
Revenue addition, capability expansion, geography entry, IP, customer acquisition, team. Synergy analysis runs across 20+ variables per target so your committee sees the case for each company before you spend time on it.
30+ signals predict which founders are open to a conversation: funding history, leadership changes, hiring patterns, digital activity. You approach the right targets at the right time, not on a cold outreach schedule.

Our technology domain analysts research beyond what data surfaces, run contextual outreach, secure founder meetings, and generate board-ready briefs. You get prepared diligence questions and draft deal structure guidance ahead of the first conversation.
Watchlists are monitored for signal changes. Your team can shortlist, reject, and collaborate inside the platform. Nothing goes stale waiting for someone to refresh a spreadsheet.
Everything your team needs. Nothing it doesn't.
A continuous, mandate-specific pipeline of off-market targets, not a one-time list.
Synergy-ranked recommendations across 20+ variables per target
