For M&A boutiques, PE/VC firms & consultancies
AI labs are paying advisory firms for the work behind real transactions: models, memos, diligence checklists and the review comments that show judgment. Client identities stay out.
What's valuable
Records of real work and how it turned out. The more years and the better kept, the more they're worth.
LBO, DCF and comps models, CIM and IC memo templates, pitch frameworks: firm-authored work with client data taken out.
How a process actually ran: the data room, the questions, the turns of the model. Included only with client consent or where your engagement terms allow it.
IC memos, diligence request lists, QoE follow-ups and closing checklists.
A partner's markup on an associate's draft may be the most valuable record you have: it shows what good judgment looks like.
How you run a sell-side process, a portfolio review or a consulting engagement, step by step.
What labs learn from it
To teach an AI agent to work like an analyst, a lab needs to see the job done for real: which documents were opened first, which numbers got questioned, how the model changed after diligence, and how the partner's comments reshaped the memo. Public filings show the outcome. Your files show the work.

We never promise a number. Value depends on how much data you have, how many years it covers and how well it's kept. Your valuation tells you where you stand.
See where you standHow it works
You don't need to prepare anything for the valuation, and nothing leaves your company until you've seen it and signed off.
Answer a few questions about your company. Within one business day we email you what buyers want from businesses like yours and what drives the price. No data needed yet.
We match you with buyers who want your kind of data, then handle anonymization, PII removal and the paperwork. You approve every file and every term before anything leaves.
Your company is paid under the license you sign. The buyer pays our fee, so it costs you nothing.
Privacy
You decide what's in scope. These never leave, and nothing goes anywhere without your written sign-off.
How we anonymize
The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. You never pay us anything: there's no upfront cost, and if no deal closes, nobody owes anything.
Often part of it. Firm-authored material is the easiest to license: models without client data, templates, checklists, and memos stripped of identifiers. Material from closed deals goes in only with client consent or where your engagement terms allow it, and never anything under an NDA or holding material non-public information.
Nothing leaves until it has been through three steps. Personal data (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, account numbers) is removed or replaced with placeholders. The cleaned files are reviewed, by us and then by you. And you sign off in writing. Customer personal data, privileged or regulated records, and HR and payroll files are left out entirely.
Your valuation arrives within one business day. If you go ahead, scoping and signing usually take a few weeks. Buyers pay once the data is delivered and accepted, typically 60 to 90 days after acceptance, and some pay sooner.
It depends on the data. Employee names and contact details are removed like everyone else's, and HR, payroll and personnel files never leave. Some material, such as call recordings or staff messages in certain states, can carry notice or consent rules; we flag it before anything is shared. Many owners choose to tell their team, and your counsel has the final word.
Nothing. The buyer pays us a fee when a deal closes. There's no upfront cost, and if no deal happens, nobody pays anything.
Then nothing happens. The valuation is free and commits you to nothing. You can stop at any point before you sign, and nothing is ever shared without your written approval.
