Do you want a cheaper deal team?

Do you want a cheaper deal team? TLDR: After speaking with 100+ searchers, buyers, and independent sponsors, we realised SME acquisitions are still painfully manual and slow - so we built a tool to make sourcing and preliminary DD faster and cheaper. Over the past couple of months, my co-founder and I spoke with 100+ people in the ETA ecosystem. We spoke to searchers who had been looking for a business for 2–3 years and were still stuck with the same problems: scattered data, manual sourcing, and an expensive DD. So my CTO (ML Engineer at Meta) built a tool to solve exactly this. You might say: “Cool, but there are already thousands of tools out there. Why is this different?” For starters: - we already scraped and enriched data for virtually every business in the UK 🇬🇧 (US 🇺🇸 next) - we know their financials, owner age, and contact details - our AI agents run preliminary diligence automatically and tell you whether a business is actually worth pursuing For example: - search for businesses with retiring owners that match your thesis - review financials from topline all the way to EBITDA and debt - get instant preliminary DD: owner is 72 with no obvious succession plan → interesting; second owner has the same surname and is 20 years younger → likely family succession; terrible reviews or operational red flags → pass The goal is simple: Help searchers spend less time filtering junk and more time speaking to the right businesses. And unlike most tools in the space (Grata, MarkToMarket, Inven), we’re building this for independent buyers and searchers too - at a fraction of the cost. We’re now opening the MVP to a small number of UK-based searchers and buyers. If you’re actively evaluating deals and want to try it, DM me. P.S. Massive thanks again to this community for being so open and generous with its time.
