Inven surfaces signals that precede a deal, like generational handover, capital, and leadership changes. Act early.
Find businesses with owners approaching retirement.
Companies growing headcount while capital has been absent for years — often the most motivated sellers.
Companies held by PE beyond typical hold period — likely approaching a sale process.

Use cases
How deal teams use Inven
Describe the vertical in plain language. Get the full competitive landscape — companies ranked by relevance, ownership flagged, headcount trends visible. What used to take a week of desk research takes a morning.
"PE-backed B2B services companies, sub-500 employees, US Southeast, founder still operating." Type it exactly like that. Get a structured list back. Add enrichment columns for revenue signals and recent news. Export to Excel or push to CRM.
Filter by hold duration — 3, 5, or 7 years. See who backed them, who's running the asset, and surface the right contacts. Reach out before the process starts.
Filter by founder tenure, ownership type, and intent signals. Enrich with "has the owner made any public statements about retirement or succession?" Run it across 500 companies. Review the yeses.
“Inven is my go-to platform for deal sourcing: faster, more relevant, and simply a better use of my time.”
