Auto-Search expedites your M&A research, compressing hours of research into minutes!

Simultaneously identify Private Equity Firms, Public Companies and Private Companies for your deal.

For Private Equity Firms, Auto-Search:

• Identifies matching portfolio companies owned by private equity firms, the single best gauge of a PE firm's interest in a particular sector.
• Determines the best private equity firms to contact for your deal.
• Identifies the single best Exact Executive at the PE firm for your client (the executive who holds a board seat on the relevant portfolio company).

How It Works

• Enter the Target Company website (URL).
• Auto-Search visits the website to discover the products and services offered by the Target Company. From that, Auto-Search presents keywords and phrases to match against.
  • Refine the list of keywords and phrases by removing or adding keywords.
  • Additional keywords must be selected from our master list of keywords.
  • As a general rule, phrases provide more accurate results (rather than single words).

Tips

• Website - if you get few matching results, enter the URL for the Target Company's "About Us" or "Product Details" webpage.
• Confidentiality - we understand the sensitivity of your data and take this very seriously. Consequently, once Auto-Search visits the Target company website, we discard the URL you provided, and purge this information from our system. This is why we require you to create a "Project Code Name".
• Project Name - please use a code name for your project rather than a client name because we do retain the Project Name, tied to your account (and only your account).
• Confidence - not all matches are perfect. The greater the relevancy Score (up to 100%), the greater confidence we have of a good match between the Target Company and similar portfolio companies owned by private equity firms.
