See how ExitScout transforms the advisory workflow at every stage.
The mandate pitch
Spending days preparing generic pitch materials with limited buyer analysis, hoping your track record alone wins the engagement.
Walk in with a ranked buyer list, segmented by strategic rationale — demonstrating depth of insight before the mandate is even awarded.
Buyer identification
Junior analysts spending 40–80 hours per deal manually researching potential buyers across databases, LinkedIn, and industry contacts.
AI agents deliver a comprehensive buyer universe in minutes, with strategic fit analysis that surpasses manual research in both breadth and accuracy.
Market coverage
Limited to public company databases and the firm's existing network, missing private companies and cross-border acquirers.
Access 360M+ entities globally — including private companies with ownership data, financial signals, and acquisition history.
