After running a Finder search, see the Acquirers tab for a list of buyers that have made acquisitions of companies that appear in the Companies tab. Their relevant acquisition(s) in the cohort will be highlighted.

Step 2:

The "Investors" tab shows you who are the relevant investors are in the space defined in any Finder search. You can create a list of potential investors interested in the same line of business as what you are looking for. To learn more about this, read Searching for investors: Finder vs. Raiser. To go there, here is a quick view of where you can find it.

Step 3:

The "Prominent Companies" tab shows valuable data for creating a targeted buyer’s list, as it helps identify and analyze potential acquirers or strategic partners. This tab shows companies prominently active within a specific industry or sector, allowing you to target those most likely interested in acquisitions that align with their strategic goals. It provides information on competitors or adjacent companies, which helps in targeting those that would benefit from acquisitions to expand their footprint or market share.

Step 4:

The "Relationships" tab allows you to visualize and analyze networks among companies, investors, and industries. By leveraging this feature, you can explore intricate details about partnerships, past investments, acquisitions, competitive positioning, and funding timelines. The Relationships tab provides essential insights to support strategic investment and business development decisions.

Step 5:

The "Patent Filings" tab shows you all the intellectual property of an owner that gives legal right to exclude others from making, using or selling this property to another entity. In building buyer's list using the Profile IP tab, you can see under similar patent data drilldown who are the company or companies having or using the same patent link. You can use this data to figure out who are businesses in line with the company you are looking for.

Step 6:

The Fairness Opinion data can enhance your buyer’s list perspective by providing insights into valuations, comparable transactions, and market conditions, helping you identify well-aligned buyers and assess fair pricing for potential acquisitions or investments.
