Use cases
How corporate M&A teams use Inven
Define your thesis, then map every relevant private company globally, with ownership, size, growth signals, and financials where available.
Inven surfaces the signals that show which targets are in play — PE-backed companies nearing fund-end, founder-owned businesses facing succession, underperforming subsidiaries primed for a carve-out.
Ask any question about your target list at scale — strategic fit, competitive positioning, customer concentration, capability gaps. The AI answers across every company simultaneously, every answer source-linked.
Corporate M&A doesn't run on a fixed calendar. Set up alerts on target companies and sectors so you're notified when something changes — an acquisition, a leadership change, a funding event. Move on timing, not luck.
Once you've identified a target, find the decision-maker. Verified contact data across multiple providers, available on demand. No separate tool, no manual LinkedIn search.
