Miss fewer deals with predictive signals
M&A Score and Deal-Maker Score act as leading indicators of a company exploring a sale of business. They’re created by monitoring what employees of companies are researching on 10,000+ business, news, legal and finance websites (including Forbes, WSJ, Investopedia, Divestopedia and many more).
We analyze 2B+ article reads per day and can alert you when targets are researching articles related to the M&A process and/or when sponsors/advisors are researching target company names.
Proven results
The M&A Score and Deal-Maker Score are produced weekly (every Monday) for 2M+ companies in the US with the focus on the middle market.
We have thousands of examples of the data being predictive of middle-market acquisitions, where we picked up research activity on topics like sale of business, M&A process, private equity, investment bank, M&A law firm and/or deal-makers researching specific company names 6 – 24 months before the announcement.
