Your shortlist by morning.
Built for strategic acquirers.
An AI radar that watches registries, court systems, regulatory filings, and premium data channels for acquisition signals — and delivers ranked targets with screening packs every morning.
Your radar is manual.
Your tools show who exists. They don't predict who's about to sell.
You find out too late
A competitor closes a deal you didn't know was on the market. The banker called them first. You had no signal — no radar watching founder exits, litigation spikes, or debt maturities in your sector.
You screen on strategic fit — your tools don't
You care about customer overlap, supply-chain fit, product adjacency. Your $30K database gives you EBITDA filters and 21 million results. You need 500.
Connect. Calibrate. Catch.
Define your acquisition criteria
Industry vertical, geography, revenue range, strategic fit dimensions — product taxonomy, customer overlap, supply-chain adjacency. Your criteria, not LBO screens.
We scan 40+ sources continuously
Public registries, court filings, patent offices, property records, hiring signals, news. Industry-calibrated triggers detect pre-intent signals: founder succession, litigation spikes, debt maturities, asset disposals.
Review ranked targets every morning
Targets land on your kanban board, ranked by composite fit score. Each card: financials, risk signals, affiliation graph, AI-drafted screening with source citations.
Data from government registries, court systems, and regulatory filings — machine-readable sources that aren't indexed by search engines. Premium data channels available as add-ons or via your existing licenses.
A workbench, not an encyclopedia.
The tool your team opens every morning — not the database they export from once a quarter. Five modules that cover sourcing, screening, diligence, and handoff.
Pre-intent signal feed
Push-style feed of succession, debt, litigation, and management signals — filtered to your ICP, ranked by score, cited to primary sources.
Early-DD in 40 minutes
Agents check courts, sanctions lists, UBO chains, and adverse media. Output: findings with severity, source, and action — before you pay for a data room.
Your team's deal board
New Signals → Screening → Outreach → LOI → Closed. Agent-progress indicators per card, one-click assign, drag to advance. Syncs both ways with Salesforce and HubSpot.
Living market intelligence
Every target, bank, auditor, subcontractor, and founder linked. Surfaces cross-deal leverage, shared risks, antitrust exposure — grows with every scan your team runs.
IC-ready first draft
One-page screening memo: target summary, signals, risk flags, recommended angle, next actions. Every claim linked to source. Exports to PDF, xlsx, or straight into your CRM.
Watch agents advance cards through your pipeline. Every dot = one completed agent step.
What lands on your board on a typical morning.
Calibrated per sector. Every signal cites a primary source — registry entry, court filing, regulatory disclosure.
Construction: succession-driven target
Score: 87/100
Pharma: platform biotech under pressure
Score: 73/100
Your living map of the market.
Not a static org chart. A graph that grows with every scan, every meeting, every deal. After six months, you don't have a tool — you have an intelligence network no competitor can replicate.
Automated layer
Registries, filings, courts, tenders — the base graph builds itself. Ownership chains and UBO structures in minutes.
Agent layer
AI agents enrich continuously. Cross-target links — like a shared subcontractor connected to your competitor — surface automatically.
Team layer
Your analysts add context from meetings and calls. Notes that turn data into deals.
Every signal already exists. Nobody sells them as one radar.
Premium data channels available as add-ons or via your existing licenses.
What the first partner is seeing.
Six weeks into a private pilot with a DACH industrial holding — construction and building services ICP.
"Two of the nine qualified targets weren't on our radar. One of them is now in outreach — we'd have missed it entirely without this."
Built for sensitive deal intelligence.
EU data residency
All data stored and processed in certified EU data centers. Dedicated tenant isolation for every client. Your pipeline never touches shared infrastructure.
Zero-retention AI
AI processing runs through enterprise API contracts with guaranteed zero data retention. Your deals and internal notes are never used for model training.
Full audit trail
Every action logged. Role-based access control, SSO integration. Your DPO gets a full compliance report on request.
Private deployment
Dedicated instance in your region. Private cloud deployment available for enterprise clients. Your data never leaves your perimeter.
BaFin MaRisk / BAIT alignment
Role-based access, 4-eye workflow for memo approvals, immutable audit log, and output traceability mapped to BAIT AT 9 and MaRisk AT 7.2. Compatible with BaFin-regulated acquirers.
Data provenance & licensing
Every data point links back to its primary source (Handelsregister, Bundesanzeiger, PACER, EDGAR, Creditreform, etc.). Licensed data from official registries — no scraping, no grey-zone acquisition.
GDPR-compliant by design. SOC 2 Type II certification targeted Q3 2026. Security questionnaire, DPA, and provenance manifest available on request.
We're choosing 5 corp dev teams to build this with.
M&A Cockpit is in private beta. Instead of opening sales, we're picking a small cohort of acquirers to co-develop with — your sector, your data connectors, your workflow priorities.
What partners get
- ✓ Full access to all 5 modules, live for your sector
- ✓ Dedicated engineering on your data connectors
- ✓ Roadmap priority — your use cases ship first
- ✓ Lifetime 50% discount when we go GA
- ✓ Anonymous or named case study — your call
What we ask
- 30-min weekly feedback call, 3 months
- Access to your actual pipeline (anonymized OK)
- Permission to use anonymized findings in dev
- Written quote at month 3 if satisfied
- Pilot paper, not full MSA
Active corp dev team with 3+ deals/year · construction, pharma, industrial distribution, or similar structured verticals · DACH or US-based · ready to sign a pilot paper, not a full MSA.
What if we want to just buy it, not partner?
Public launch is Q4 2026. We're not opening full-commercial sales before then — the cohort is how you get early access. Post-GA pricing starts at €18K/year.
Is there any cost during the pilot?
Zero for the 3-month partner engagement. After that, partners keep a lifetime 50% discount on GA pricing (so €9–47K/year depending on team size vs €18–95K public).
What happens after 3 months?
You decide. Continue at the discounted annual, pause, or walk away. No auto-renewal, no MSA lock-in.
Intro call, not a demo — 20 min to see if we're a fit. No sales pitch.
Post-GA pricing starts at €18K / year · typical deployment €45–95K. Design partners keep a lifetime 50% discount from day one.

How is this different from Grata, PitchBook, or DealCloud?
Grata/Datasite and PitchBook are databases — they show you who exists. DealCloud is a CRM — it organizes what you already know. Mergermarket shows what advisors have listed. M&A Cockpit is a signal radar — it tells you who is about to sell, scored by strategic fit for your specific criteria. It also integrates with your existing CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) as a signal feed.
What industries does the trigger engine support?
We're launching deep in construction and pharma/biotech — the two verticals where we've built and validated trigger ontologies. Industrial distribution is next on the roadmap. Enterprise plans can request custom vertical calibration.
Does M&A Cockpit replace our due diligence process?
No. M&A Cockpit accelerates the early screening phase — long list, shortlist, and preliminary risk assessment using public sources. Full investment DD still requires your principals, external counsel, and management-level assumptions.
How accurate are the AI outputs?
Every AI output cites the primary source — a filing, a court record, a registry entry. Nothing is presented without a reference. Agents prepare drafts; your team verifies.
Can I use my existing PitchBook or Orbis license?
Yes. Premium data sources integrate through your existing enterprise license via API. No reseller markup.
When can we buy this?
We're in private beta, co-developing with a cohort of 5 design partners. Public launch is planned for Q4 2026. Apply for a design partner slot now for full product access at zero cost (lifetime 50% discount on GA pricing in exchange for weekly feedback and an anonymized case study). Slots are first-come, first-served.
How much will it cost after GA?
Post-GA pricing will start at €18K / year, with typical deployments landing in the €45–95K range depending on seats, data sources, and sector. Private VPC / custom connectors are Enterprise-tier. Design partners lock in a lifetime 50% discount from day one.
What if I want to build this in-house?
Typical in-house build costs $0.8–2M/year plus $150–300K in data licensing, takes 12–18 months, and routinely fails from attrition in small teams. We're live in a week.
Is my data secure?
M&A Cockpit runs on EU-based infrastructure with GDPR compliance. Enterprise clients can opt for a private VPC deployment. SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress.
