Build a buyer or partner list from your network
“Who in my network could buy my company, partner with me or open a door to acquirers?”
Before paying for a database, look at the people you already know inside likely acquirers: former colleagues now in corporate development, strategy or the executive committee. We rebuild where everyone sits today and return, per target company, who you know there and how well.
Who it’s for
Founders and shareholders preparing a sale, and advisors building a first buyer list.
What we look for in your network
- Who works today in each target company, and in which role
- Decision-makers: executive committee, strategy, corporate development
- Former colleagues now spread across the sector
- How close you are to each of them
- Who can introduce you where you know nobody

Fictional people and companies. The level of detail is real.
What you receive
A table per target company: who you know there, their role today, how close you are, and who can introduce you where you know nobody.
It starts with your network rebuilt in ten working days: careers dated, where you know each person from, how close you were, who can reintroduce you. Delivered in person, as a workbook you can filter, a searchable page and a clean address book for your iPhone.
An NDA before any file is shared. To find someone, only a name and a company leave your address book.
You choose who stays out of the search.
Professional facts only: nothing on wealth, health, religion or legal matters.
Everything deleted at the end, with a dated certificate.
Questions
- Is the name of my company or the deal shared?
- No. Searches only carry a contact’s name and company. Your project stays under NDA.
- Do you replace my M&A advisor?
- No. We give you and your advisor a map of the doors your own network already opens.
- How fresh are the roles?
- Every role is dated from public profiles. When a role can’t be confirmed, the list says so.
