M&A buy-side tools
Set your acquisition criteria once. Then screen a company you already know, discover ones you do not, watch the deals being announced right now, or find the firms whose published criteria fit the deal on your desk. All five come with every plan — use whichever the week calls for.
Free plan, no card, no demo call. An account takes thirty seconds.
A fast no is worth as much as a yes. Most companies you look at will fail your criteria — the point is finding that out on the first screen, not the third call.
The tools
The checker and the finder work from the same buy-box, so their results stay comparable. The tracker watches the market whether you are looking or not, and the investor search works the other way round — from a deal you have, to the firms whose published criteria fit it. Every plan carries all five, and one pool of credits pays for whichever you use. Lender Finder costs no credits at all.
Reads a company website and assesses it against your acquisition criteria.
Find companies that match your buy-box, with sources for every field.
US M&A deals as they are announced, with buyer, seller, advisors and terms.
Find the private equity firms and family offices whose published criteria fit the deal you are working on.
Which SBA 7(a) lenders have actually closed loans of your size, in your industry, in your state.
More tools for buyers of small and mid-sized companies are on the way. They appear in your account as they are released — nothing to migrate, nothing to re-enter.

How it works
Step 01
Industry, geography, size band, and the disqualifiers that end the conversation — customer concentration, owner dependency, whatever kills deals for you. Change it whenever your mandate changes.
Step 02
A company URL for the checker. A thesis and criteria for the finder. Both run against the same buy-box, so what comes back is directly comparable. The tracker needs nothing pointed at it — it screens the market every morning and is simply there when you open it.
Step 03
Each criterion is evaluated separately and the verdict is computed from those results in code — not by a model improvising. Same inputs, same answer, every time.
What this doesn't do
Deal software oversells constantly. Here is what we can't give you, so you can decide whether the rest is worth it.
That data isn't reliably on the open web, and any tool that hands it to you with confidence is estimating. Employee count is the hard size gate because it's the size signal that can actually be verified. Revenue and EBITDA, where shown, are indicative and used to guide the search — never to pass or fail a company.
Nothing on the open web reliably says that about a private business. The checker and the finder work on companies that fit your criteria; the tracker reports deals that have already been announced, which is the opposite end of the same process. Whether an owner wants to sell is still your phone call to make.
A transaction reaches the tracker only if it was filed with the SEC or put out publicly by someone involved. A private sale below the filing threshold, closed quietly between two owners and never announced, leaves nothing to read — and there is no honest way to say how many of those there are. What the tracker covers is the disclosed market, which is most of the market worth watching and not all of it.
A first-pass screen built on public sources. It exists to cut the longlist you'd otherwise work through by hand — not to decide anything you would put in an investment committee memo.
Where a criterion can't be established from available public sources, it comes back as unknown rather than as an estimate. An honest gap is more useful than a confident number you can't trace.
Pricing
You are not choosing tools any more — every plan includes all five. What you choose is how much you expect to use, and the credits go wherever the deal takes you.
One person running a search.
A small team working several mandates.
A firm with a pipeline to keep full.
How credits work
One credit is one Buy-Box check, one investor result, or one Deal Tracker export. A delivered target is ten, because finding a company and sourcing every field is about ten times the work of checking one you already know. Reading the Deal Tracker feed and searching Lender Finder cost nothing at all. Credits do not roll over.
Billed monthly in advance. Cancel any time from your account — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.
Questions
No — every plan includes all five, and there is nothing to pick. That is what the credits are for. If a month turns out to be all target searching and no deal tracking, the credits follow the work instead of sitting unused in a tool you never opened. The free tier includes all five as well, so you can try each of them before deciding anything.
They are all credits, at published rates. One credit is one Buy-Box check, one investor result, or one Deal Tracker export. A delivered target is eight, because finding a company and sourcing every field is about eight times the work of checking one you already know. Reading the Deal Tracker feed costs nothing at all. Lender Finder is not metered at all. Your account page shows the pool and what is left of it, and nothing is deducted for a company we could not deliver.
Publicly available sources — company websites, public filings and registries where they exist, and other open sources. Findings are returned with the source behind them, so you can check them rather than trust them.
Yes, that is what it is built for. Coverage depends on what a company publishes about itself: a firm with a two-page website will return fewer established criteria than one with a detailed site, and the result will say so instead of filling the gaps.
Any time, and as often as your mandate changes.
The verdict is computed in code from the individual criteria results, using a fixed hierarchy — any disqualifier hit forces a no match regardless of how well the company scores elsewhere. That part does not vary.
English, German and Spanish.
No card, no demo call, no onboarding sequence. Set up a buy-box and run a company you already know the answer to.
