For PE firms and family offices
A maintained add-on pipeline for every portfolio company you own, and the buyers most likely to pay a premium when you sell. Pre-populated the first time you log in, so your time goes to evaluation, not research.
170,000
deals over 26 years
2.3M
company profiles, mapped by capability
1,900+
firms and portfolio companies with declared proprietary acquisition criteria
470 investment firms and 1,481 portfolio companies
Your portfolio, already mapped
We already built your firm’s profile. And every portco’s.
Vequity learned from 170,000 transactions over 26 years why each acquirer bought each target, and applied that to every company you own. Your pipeline arrives pre-populated: the targets each platform should be evaluating, each tagged gap-fill or bolster, with the rationale already written. Nobody builds a spreadsheet.
Every target is tagged for the move it makes: into a better adjacency, or deeper in the core.

Add-on case study
The best add-on was filed under the wrong code.
A sponsor-backed platform that makes on-site gas generation and compressed air systems had a mandate to acquire a natural gas compression parts and service business. The company that fit is an aftermarket natural gas compressor parts manufacturer and rebuild shop, filed under oilfield services, not compressors.
