Your team identifies hundreds of potential buyers. But when your client asks "why is this name on the list?" — the answer shouldn't depend on who built the spreadsheet.

More complete coverage
Surface off-radar buyers who are actively seeking deals but remain invisible to legacy databases. Vequity connects your mandate to buyers who have explicitly stated their interest in your sector, without ceding control of your process.
Free your senior bankers
Automate top-of-funnel research so senior bankers can focus on what only they can do: positioning, negotiation, and closing. 100+ hours saved per deal.
Defensible Market exhaustion
Ensuring no buyer is missed and every buyer is defensible to your client.
Vequity reads the deal, then identifies buyer segments based on strategic fit, not just NAICS codes.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to ask before we begin our design journey together.
How is this different from PitchBook + ChatGPT?
PitchBook gives you data. ChatGPT gives you text. Neither produces a documented, defensible rationale for why a specific buyer belongs on a specific deal — scored against criteria your team defined, with cited sources. Vequity's proprietary layer includes verified acquisition mandates declared directly by buyers. No public database has that.
Can we use this alongside our existing tools?
Yes — Vequity layers on top of your existing stack, not instead of it. Keep PitchBook, DealCloud, or whatever CRM your team uses. Vequity adds the buyer rationale and scoring layer that none of those tools provide. Output exports to PDF, CSV, and Excel for seamless integration with your current workflow.
How long does onboarding take?
Your first mandate can be live in under a week. We train your analyst team, configure your firm's scoring criteria with your MDs, and run a deal together so the output meets your standard before you use it with a client.
What does this cost?
We scope it during the demo based on your firm's volume and deal flow. The 60-day pilot is risk-free — you see the output before committing to anything.
Do we lose control of the process?
The opposite. Your VP’s and MD’s define the scoring logic, sector rules, and inclusion thresholds. Your team reviews every rationale and can modify score with your own rules. Vequity does the research depth — your team makes every final decision. Nothing reaches the client without your approval.
What does my team actually need to do?
Upload the CIM, add any context your team already has, and define scoring criteria (we help). After that, Vequity does the heavy lifting. Your analysts review the output, your MDs approve or adjust, and the deliverable exports client-ready. Total team time per deal drops from weeks to hours.
Is our deal data secure?
Deal data is encrypted in transit and at rest, siloed per client, and never shared across firms. Your CIMs and mandate details are never used to train models or inform other engagements. Built for institutional-grade confidentiality.
What if the output doesn't meet our standard?
That's why the pilot exists. We run Vequity on a live mandate alongside your team during the 60-day trial. If the rationale quality, buyer coverage, or scoring logic doesn't meet your bar — you walk away. No contract, no commitment.
