Inven founders
Niilo, Tommi and Ekku
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.

“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.”

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

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.”

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.”
