M&A Strategy: Growthpal for Finding Potential Targets
GrowthPal’s AI-powered M&A copilot helps you identify off-market targets, validate fit, and accelerate deal execution turning strategy into action within days, not weeks. Let us look at the process of finding targets and evaluating their fit.
Instead of relying on traditional filter-based databases, Growthpal uses a multi-layered AI matching engine that understands the full nuance of a mandate—capabilities, geography, sector nuances, digital footprint, headcount patterns, funding history, hiring trends, leadership signals, and even inferred strategic intent. This allows it to predictively surface the most relevant companies, even those that might not appear in standard searches or industry directories. The result is a curated, high-precision recommendation list that dramatically reduces noise and gives Corp Dev teams and strategics the best possible starting point for each mandate.
In our scenario here, Datavision in Dallas has a mandate to search for fitting companies with capabilities Digital Engineering, Cloud computing, Analytics etc.
Growthpal finds the company Datawave and proposes to review the company. In addition, seven additional companies are found.
