The Advantage Is Knowing Where to Look.
One-time acquisition target research for buyers who already know what they want to acquire. We identify, substantiate, score, and rank the companies worth a closer look.
The shortlist is the product.
Not a database dump. Not a long list padded to look impressive. You get the private-company matches that survive your criteria and our evidence standard, ranked so you know where to look first.
Ranked against your acquisition thesis. No filler to hit a vanity number.
Ownership, capital activity, hiring signals, public footprint, and supporting evidence.
A fast read on fit and how strongly the available evidence supports it.
The finished research is yours to keep, check, and work from.
The interesting part is deciding what you want to buy. The research required to find it is considerably less glamorous.
Corporate records, ownership clues, company websites, industry sources, dead ends and false fits — someone still has to work through all of it.
That’s our part.
You give us the thesis. We do the digging, checking and ranking, then return the companies that actually deserve a closer look — so your time goes into evaluating opportunities, not assembling the list.
Four stages. One finished brief.
Define
You give us the thesis, hard criteria, preferences, and exclusions.
Screen
We narrow the private-company universe to plausible matches.
Substantiate
We verify fit with documented evidence and discard weak candidates.
Rank
We deliver the strongest matches with rationale, scores, and sources.
Searchers, small PE, independent sponsors, family offices, and lean corp-dev teams that already know what they want to buy.
Outreach, introductions, valuation, negotiation, financing help, transaction advice, or success fees.
What buyers usually want to know.
