Inven vs. Rogo
AI for M&A built on private market data
Inven is the AI trusted by M&A, finance, and consulting teams to analyze entire markets, find targets others miss, and produce client-ready deliverables — all backed by proprietary data.

Why dealmakers choose Inven
Inven's data is built from primary sources, improved continuously, and included in your license. Rogo runs on third-party feeds, some requiring separate subscriptions.
Unlike Rogo's focus on investment banking, Inven is built for private equity, investment banks, M&A, and consulting alike, with firm-specific workflows that take you from search to final deliverable on the first pass.
Inven’s proprietary data covers the full private market, including founder-owned and lower-middle-market businesses that don’t show up elsewhere.
Every company in Inven sits in one standardized database, so you can filter on granular criteria and screen thousands at once. Rogo queries separate feeds, with no granular filtering across them.

Inven vs. Rogo FAQ
There are two. First, data: Rogo runs on licensed third-party feeds — PitchBook, Mergermarket, CapIQ — several requiring your firm's own subscription. Inven owns its private market data, built from primary sources, including lower-middle-market businesses traditional databases miss entirely.
Second, breadth of use cases: Rogo is optimized for IB analyst work — LBO models, coverage prep. Inven covers the full range: deal sourcing, market analysis, diligence, and client deliverables, across M&A, consulting, and corporate finance. Inven also builds custom workflows around how your firm works, so your recurring tasks run the same way every time.
No. Inven's data is included in your license. Because Inven owns its data rather than reselling a provider's feed, there's no separate subscription required — a common cost surprise when evaluating AI that connects to licensed data sources.
Yes. Inven’s pre-built and custom workflows create polished slides in your firm’s format on the first pass, with logos and charts aligned. Rogo handles Excel and financial modelling well, but slide outputs typically need repeated prompting and manual cleanup. If your work ends in a deck as often as a model, Inven gets you there with less rework.
Inven. It maps the full universe of targets, private, PE-backed, and founder-owned, from 28M+ companies, and finds buyers by transaction history and sector focus, surfacing names your competitors miss. Since every company sits in one structured database, you can filter on granular criteria and screen thousands against your thesis in a single pass, every source linked. Rogo pulls from separate third-party feeds, so it can't filter that way: there's no single structured universe to run the criteria against.
For comps and deal multiples, Inven. It shows EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, and EV/Sales for M&A transactions, with every calculation shown and every figure linked to the disclosed filing. Numbers you can defend in front of a client.
Yes. Every company in Inven sits in one standardized, entity-resolved database, queryable across millions of rows in a single pass. You can filter 28M+ companies by revenue, size, geography, ownership, and more granular criteria — and screen thousands against your thesis at once. Tools like Rogo that stitch together separate third-party feeds can't filter that way: there's no single structured universe to run the criteria against.
Inven covers private financial data for European countries, sourced directly from company registries and standardized for analysis at scale, with every figure linked to the filing it came from.
