M&A Target Screening
Your agent continuously scans AngelList, Crunchbase, PitchBook, LinkedIn, and industry databases for acquisition targets matching your criteria — revenue range, tech stack, geography, team size, funding stage. It surfaces a weekly shortlist with one-pager summaries so you never miss a fit.
You're missing 70% of targets because you're searching when you remember to.
CEOs with acquisition strategies spend 5-8 hours per week scanning databases, reading about startups, and building target lists manually. That's 20-32 hours a month on research that still leaves gaps. Most targets get found through word of mouth, not systematic coverage.
According to Deloitte's 2024 M&A Trends report, 60% of deals that fail to close cite "insufficient target pipeline" as a contributing factor. The problem isn't a lack of targets — it's that you're searching reactively instead of systematically.
Define your criteria once. Agent scans 50+ sources daily.
You set your parameters one time: revenue range ($1-5M ARR), geography (US/Canada), tech stack (React, Python), team size (10-50), funding stage (Series A-B). The agent takes it from there — scanning 50+ databases and directories every day.
Each target gets scored against your criteria, deduplicated across sources, and stacked into a ranked shortlist. No spreadsheet wrangling. No tab-switching between Crunchbase and LinkedIn. The agent does in 24 hours what takes a human analyst a full week.
Every shortlisted company gets a one-page brief. Not a link dump.
Each target on your weekly shortlist comes with a structured one-pager: company overview, founders and key team members, tech stack breakdown, full funding history, estimated revenue, competitive positioning, and a "why this fits" section that maps directly to the criteria you defined.
You're not getting a list of company names with Crunchbase links. You're getting the same research output a junior associate would produce in 4-5 hours — generated automatically for every target, every week.
Weekly shortlist in Slack. Click to expand. Mark and move on.
Every Monday, your Slack gets a message with 5-8 top targets ranked by fit score. Click any company to pull up the full one-pager. The whole review takes 10-15 minutes — that's your entire weekly M&A sourcing commitment.
Mark each target as "interested," "not now," or "pass." The agent learns your preferences over time — if you consistently pass on companies with fewer than 20 employees or outside certain verticals, it adjusts the scoring model. Your shortlists get sharper every week without you updating a single filter.
