M&A screening shouldn’t be this hard
M&A teams teams face mounting pressure to identify the right targets faster, but traditional screening methods are broken.
Manual Screening
Corporate development teams spend weeks manually researching and screening potential acquisition targets, delaying strategic decisions.
Biased Analysis
When comprehensive and objective analysis becomes complex, too often they are replaced by biased or political decision-making. For decades this was considered as the natural cost of complexity in M&A.
Limited Results
Traditional shortlists are often imprecise and rarely dynamic. Re-ranking, revising, or re-evaluating with different parameters and from multiple angles is almost impossible. And above all, none withstand the valid question “Is this the best insight we can get?”
M&A Screening Redefined
From Data To Strategy
Strategic fit is evaluated from individually defined angles and priorities, supported by financial metrics. The result: unique market insights that are decisive for better acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
No market is too large or too complex to be fully mapped according to the criteria set by our clients. By combining predictive and AI algorithms, we provide the most objective way to quantify strategic fit. We at MADiscover eliminate biases rooted in personal networks and preferences, or limited research capacity.
Strategies evolve, as externalities are increasingly dynamic and adaptable – and so are our results. When priorities shift or new criteria emerge, our MADiscover Landscapes adapt accordingly, ensuring your insights reflect the latest strategic context.
Forget lists.

Trusted by leading M&A teams
We approached MADiscover to screen the European market for cooperation partners. The results portray a market research study of the designed search field – adapted to our individual requirements.
We were surprised about the speed and scope. We received a more extensive list of companies much faster than the months we would habe needed otherwise. Most of the companies have not been on our own internal watchlist until then.
As a global player with various businesses, the search for future partners or target firms is a mammoth task.
Hundreds of employees worldwide are constantly putting out their feelers. Coordinating this and establishing a best practice model is clearly not easy.
That is why we put a lot of hope in the systematic, repeatable approach of MADiscover. It has worked amazingly well, als and especially in very different search scopes.
Searching for fitting specialists in a vastly fragmented market overwhelms all M&A teams. Hence, we turned to MADiscover to see whether technology can help us.
The results from our work with the highly efficient MADiscover team were excellent. The amount of completeness, transparency, and insights were remarkable. Not only that we could use the information for our short-term project, but we can also use the data as starting points for future activities.
We were looking for a specific technology vendor worldwide. We did a lot of anecdotal searches and manual analysis to find the hidden champion. Eventually, we used MADiscover technology to start a brute force attack to the problem.
After a few iterations, we got a far clearer picture and had a comprehensive ranking of potential targets. With MADiscover, we were able to focus on the most promising targets instead of wasting time in endless website and document screenings.
“During the iteration process we gained new insights that changed our screening rationale. Thanks to the MADiscover approach we were able to modify and fine-tune our requirements along the way.
MADiscover supported us by revealing and highlighting all relevant players within our search field customized to our definition of strategic fit. We are more than happy to continue working with MADiscover for future M&A screening projects.”
“MADiscover seamlessly conducted searches across various geographies, managing multiple languages and business models with ease. The process was uncomplicated and efficient throughout.
What impressed us most was how quickly MADiscover, with the support of AI, grasped our specific search profile in no time at all. Additionally, our workload at Securex was minimal.”
