Pentacles All the Way Down

In the world of dealmaking, "wait and see" kind of situations aren't just anxiety-inducing — they're costly. Most deal signals arrive too late.

It monitors real-time, anonymized research at scale to flag companies actively exploring a sale, not after the fact. When back-tested against completed 2025 transactions, Seller Intent predicted:

☑️ 89% of EMEA mid-market to large-cap deals
