AI with the data to back it up

Most AI tools don't have private markets data — the smaller companies, founder-owned businesses, lower-middle market deals that never appear elsewhere. Inven does. And it connects wherever your team already works.

Testimonials

Ben Rapaport

“I don't know what the secret sauce is, but there are definitely names that showed up on Inven that didn't show up on other platforms.”

Ben Rapaport
Co-Founder, Edgehill Management
Joseph Milstein

“Compressing months of research into minutes changes the pace of real conversations. We surface targets that meet our exact strategic and financial criteria.”

Joseph Milstein
Managing Partner, Gamma Point Advisory
Raul Rizo-Patron

“The worst feeling for any investment banker is walking into a client call and being asked why a specific company is not on the list. With Inven, we are confident this won't happen.”

Director of Buy-Side Services, GaP Advisors
Craig McNally

“Inven completely opens up the proprietary off-market world for us. List-building and outreach are so much faster with Inven that it’s hard to quantify.”

Every project still starts with the same manual work

Inven founders
Ekku, Niilo, and Tommi
Co-founders, Inven

As analysts at McKinsey and BCG, we spent days searching for companies, piecing together ownership and financial data, and rebuilding the same spreadsheets over and over again.


We thought there had to be a better way. In 2022, we set out to build it.


Since then, we’ve worked with 1,000+ M&A teams and spoken to thousands of professionals across private equity, investment banking, consulting, and corporate development.



The core workflow is still the same — analyzing markets, finding the right companies, understanding them, and reaching the right people. What’s changed is how it gets done.


That’s what we’re continuing to build: grounded in real data, shaped in close collaboration with the teams doing the work, and evolving rapidly.
