At MADiscover we digitize M&A target search with AI-based algorithms. We combine big data analytics with the domain expertise of our customers. Using natural language processing, machine learning, and our proprietary algorithm we screen thousands of companies for any industry and technology, on a worldwide scale. With our digitized target screening approach, we translate strategy into actionable shortlists!
OUR VISION
Enabling better acquisitions. M&A is a wicked problem that needs smart approaches. Smart approaches require smart technologies orchestrated by smart people.
OUR PURPOSE
Facilitating data-driven, objective strategic decisions.
Often, acquisitions fail due to poor execution. However, mistakes commonly happen in the very beginning of the process: target screening.
Target screening is an often-neglected, but highly important core strategic task.
Today, it is often executed in a human error-prone process, full of ambiguity and complexity. Strategic decision-making is rarely easy or straightforward. Our goal is to understand the rationale, to reflect multiple scenarios and thereby, to solve and streamline complex, multi-dimensional search problems. This will make better informed decisions possible for our clients.
OUR VALUES
Revealing
We are objective and integrate all perspectives so that our clients can make sense of them. In our curiosity, we are not afraid to raise questions. We support our clients in formulating the right questions, so that the answers are not 42*.
Reliable
We are transparent, analytical, and systematic.
We work research-driven. This means that we engage with our clients to comprehensively understand their issues and to develop individualized answers.
Rapid
Our screening approach is faster and more comprehensive than any other search: We scout for a 10 times broader database that is 12 times faster still.
We give our clients the gift of time by taking away data noise and manual processes. We bring in both effective and efficient workflows.
