Problem
Consultants, investment bankers, and private equity professionals spend significant time manually gathering, cleaning, and analyzing company data to produce client-ready deliverables such as market maps, strip profiles, and target lists. Traditional research methods are slow, often rely on incomplete databases, and risk including unverifiable or hallucinated information that undermines credibility in front of clients and investment committees.
Solution
Inven provides an AI-powered research and deal-sourcing platform that transforms raw data into polished, client-ready deliverables in a fraction of the time. The platform draws from a database of over 28 million companies and markets, enabling users to build target lists at scale, including off-market companies that never appear in traditional databases. Every data point is sourced and displayed, ensuring the AI pulls information rather than infers it, eliminating hallucinations and making outputs defensible in front of clients, ICs, and partners. The platform supports agentic workflow automation, data enrichment, and analysis, allowing firms to streamline everything from initial research to final deliverable production.
