Inven writes company one-pagers and overview slides in your firm's own PowerPoint template from data Inven owns, while Rogo is a finance agent that answers questions over the licenses a bank already pays for — LSEG, FactSet, Capital IQ, PitchBook, and Preqin — plus the firm's own files. That is the whole split: one produces the deliverable from its own company data, the other works the data you already license. They are two jobs, not two contenders for one job, and plenty of teams run both. The comparison below is for deciding which job you are actually hiring for, not which product to rip out.

How do Inven and Rogo compare at a glance?

The quickest way to see the difference is side by side: Inven anchors in data it owns and ends in a slide in your template; Rogo anchors in your existing licenses and ends in an answer.

What is Inven best at?

The page itself. Give Inven a company and it produces the one-pager or overview slide in your firm's PowerPoint template — the description, headcount, locations, deal history, and figures from filings, formatted the way your slides always look. The material comes from data Inven collects and maintains on more than 28 million companies (Inven product data, August 2026), which reaches deep into the private mid-market where profiles from the traditional databases tend to come back half empty.

The repeatability is the other half of the case. The template and fields are defined once as a saved task, and from then on anyone on the team reruns it on the next company and gets the same page in the same format. The boundary, stated plainly: Inven can't yet make a full CDD deck, pitch book, CIM, or teaser, but it shines in the individual slides and analyses that are parts of them. To see it on your own template, book a demo.

What is Rogo best at?

Working the data a bank already has. Rogo sits on the firm's existing licenses and its internal files, and lets the team ask analytical questions in plain language instead of pulling and assembling the data by hand — market questions against LSEG and FactSet, deal and fund questions against PitchBook and Preqin, plus whatever lives in the firm's own documents. For a bank that already pays for those feeds, Rogo's pitch is getting more out of money already spent, with the Excel model work of banking close to its center of gravity.

Inven does not replace any of that — not Rogo's finance agent, not the Excel models, and not adjacent tools like Model ML's Notetaker. If your gap is "we have the data licenses but querying them is slow," that is Rogo's territory, and this article will not talk you out of it.

Which is better for PowerPoint output?

Inven, when the slide has to be a sourced company page in the house template — that is the product, not a feature. The one-pager comes out in your firm's own PowerPoint format, and every fact on it traces to Inven's dataset, so the page is both presentable and answerable when a partner asks where a number came from.

Rogo can also produce decks from its connected sources, and for analysis-driven pages built on the firm's licensed data that can be exactly right. The question to ask of any generated slide — Rogo's included — is where each fact came from. If the answer is a licensed feed you trust, good. If the deliverable you need is the standard company profile, produced the same way on the fiftieth company as on the first, that is what Inven's saved tasks are built to do.

Do Inven and Rogo use the same data?

No, and this is the cleanest difference between them. Rogo is designed to sit on the feeds the bank licenses — LSEG, FactSet, Capital IQ, PitchBook, Preqin — and on the firm's own files. Inven is designed the opposite way: it does not sit on any of those feeds as its company universe, because it collects and maintains its own data on 28M+ companies.

Neither design is a gap. Sitting on the licensed feeds is the point of Rogo — it makes the firm's existing spend more useful. Owning the universe is the point of Inven — the one-pager does not depend on which terminals the firm licenses or on coverage that thins out below the large-private tier. Which architecture you want depends on the job, which is exactly why the two do not collide.

Can you run Inven and Rogo together?

Yes, and the pairing is natural because neither does the other's job. Rogo answers the analytical questions over the firm's licensed data and files; Inven produces the recurring deliverables — the one-pagers and overview slides in the firm's template — from data it owns. A team running both gets its questions answered in one place and its profile pages generated in another, with no overlap to arbitrate.

If the half you are missing is the deliverable — the profile that still gets rebuilt by hand every time a name comes up — book a demo and bring the last one-pager your team made manually. Watching the same page come out of a saved task in your own template is the fastest honest comparison.
