Private Equity
Find the right company first. With data that holds up in IC.
Source the add-ons, platforms, and succession plays others haven't found yet — backed by data you can defend in any room.
Trusted by 1,000+ of the world's leading M&A firms
The standard databases get you to the starting line. The best deals go to whoever sees what they miss — smaller companies, quieter signals, owners ready to move before anyone reaches out.
Use cases
How PE firms use Inven
Understand a sector before you commit capital. Map every player: private, PE-backed, family-owned — with ownership, growth signals, and department-level headcount trends. Walk into every IC meeting knowing the full picture.
Describe your platform thesis in plain language — business model, revenue mix, customer type. Inven finds the companies that actually fit. Not just the right industry. The right companies.
Founders approaching retirement. Companies growing without fresh capital. Ownership structures signaling a transition. Surface them before they hire an advisor.
Qualify hundreds of companies at once. Revenue model, client concentration, key person risk — answered across your full list, every source linked. Lists that pass first time.
Track targets and sectors continuously. Be notified the moment a company is acquired, raises, or makes the news. Move on timing, not luck.
