How AI is used
Inven is an AI-native platform designed for company analysis and deal sourcing in the private market. By scanning millions of websites and using natural language processing, it helps users find companies based on their operations rather than relying on static records.
The tool is designed for M&A professionals, including those in private equity, venture capital, and investment banking. It provides data on over 28 million companies across more than 160 countries, with a focus on the lower middle market and middle market.
Users can search for companies using plain English descriptions, filter by ownership and growth metrics, and monitor intent-to-sell signals. It also provides contact data and financial information for both public and private entities to support the sourcing workflow.
