“In three hours, I can find 15 to 20 companies. Before Inven, I would be lucky to find four. It is about four to five times faster.”

Andrew Guest
Investment Analyst

“With Inven, we're able to find exactly the companies we're looking for, even when searching highly specific or niche topics. The results are impressive.”

Thomas Archer
Investment Analyst

“We'd tested other tools before, but they never gained traction internally. Inven was different right away.”

Investment Associate

Problem

The research that never ends

Most of what analysts spend time on isn't analysis. It's finding, formatting, and verifying data that should already exist in one place.

Still missing companies

PitchBook, LinkedIn, CapIQ, Orbis, Google. And you're still missing companies — because private businesses don't show up anywhere.

Every mandate starts from zero

Scraping lists, clicking through websites, copying data one row at a time. Days of work that resets with every new mandate.

“Why isn't X on this list?”

Nothing stings like a VP asking ‘why isn't X on this list?’ Speed isn't enough — the list has to be defensible.
