Our take
Finquest provides M&A deal origination services powered by data and AI for a global client base of large private equity firms and global corporations. This solves the key problem of finding reliable data for private companies, and offers an alternative approach to deal origination, empowering buyers to take control of their M&A pipelines.
The platform delivers this service through its database of 106 million organizations, proprietary algorithm, and team of professionals. Finquest's value proposition in the M&A space is very unique and will enable corporates to be more proactive in the implementation of their M&A roadmap.
In addition, the company has significant room for future diversification into different investment sizes and market opportunities across sectors and geographies. Further, hires at the C-suite level appear to help Finquest continue offering high level service.
