User experience
Rated 4.8/5 on G2. Designed for intuitive deal sourcing workflows with natural language prompts and example-based search.
Functional but less intuitive interface, requiring more manual filtering and setup for sourcing workflows.
"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 deal sourcing platforms."

Sourcescrub collects information from a range of public sources by webscraping and validates it manually, which limits speed and scale. Inven’s AI-native model automates this process – analyzing sources, official registries, and partner data to uncover 28+ million global companies. Because its AI connects patterns and context that human verification can miss, Inven gives dealmakers faster access to opportunities with broader and more current coverage. Inven builds lists faster, offers AI enrichment for results, and includes features that objectively set it apart from the capabilities of Sourcescrub.
Inven’s interface is designed for M&A professionals who want fast, flexible deal sourcing. Users can search in natural language, build dynamic lists, and integrate directly with their CRM, all within one workflow. Users describe it as intuitive, fast, and built around how deal professionals actually think and work. Sourcescrub emphasizes structured, document-based discovery. While it offers source tracking, searches often require more manual filtering and external tools.
Inven represents a new era of deal sourcing – one where the entire platform is built on AI, rather than AI being added on as a feature. As the first global AI-native deal sourcing platform, Inven understands context and continuously analyzes a wide range of data sources and partner insights to deliver unique intelligence and capabilities. AI is the foundation of how Inven’s data is collected, processed, and connected. This foundation allows users to search in natural language and instantly receive context-aware results enriched with ownership, financial, and intent-to-sell insights. Users can also leverage AI to enrich lists with data points tailored to their sourcing needs. Because AI operates at the core of the system – not just on top of it – Inven delivers a faster, more adaptive, and globally scalable sourcing experience.
