Develop a target profile aligning with your goals and preferences, using our strategic insights from data-driven sourcing.
Step 1
A 1-hour onboarding call to discuss your M&A objectives and project collaboration details.

Book Meetings
Assist in coordinating your calendar and arranging meetings with pre-qualified opportunities. In other words, we make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Step 2
30-minute meeting to review target opportunities, discuss feedback, and refine search criteria in each work sprint.

Choose how often you want to receive fresh batches of targets — every week, every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks.
3
Collaborate with our team to design your ideal target profile, informed by your goals and our insights.
4
Receive a shortlist of targets at your preferred interval. Upon approval, we reach out to schedule calls with target companies. Our highly targeted campaign sees an impressive average reply rate of 50-80%.
5
Give us feedback on what you want to see more of. We'll refine the target research process, iterate, and repeat accordingly to adjust to your ever-evolving needs.
Is there a trial period before I commit to a retainer?
Absolutely. Before beginning any contract, our team offers preliminary research based on the ideal acquisition target profile you provide. We find and present 2-3 sample targets that fit your criteria. We also offer a 30-day guarantee, so if you’re not satisfied within the first 30 days of collaboration you can request a full refund of the retainer paid.
How are you different from other buy-side advisory firms?
Our exclusive focus on the buy-side centers around expert deal sourcing. Our dedicated expertise and advanced backend technologies are tailored specifically for this purpose. Rather than pursuing isolated opportunities that barely meet buyer criteria, we prioritize both the quality and quantity of deal flow.
We assist our buyers in constructing a robust deal sourcing engine, designed to yield numerous strategic acquisitions. Our process emphasizes speed and iteration, allowing buyers to swiftly validate their M&A theses.
How does your service work?
We work only on the buy-side and focus on deal sourcing for strategic buyers. Our core service is understanding the buyer’s objectives, conducting market research, identifying targets, and outreach. From there, we hand over warm targets to our clients for further evaluation and discussion.
What kind of results can we expect from IntVentures?
IntVentures tailors our research to your acquisition strategy and can help with top-of-the-funnel work so your in-house team can focus on more strategic tasks. On average we bring you 1-3 pre-vetted opportunities every 1, 2 or 4 weeks, depending on the level of engagement.
Does IntVentures have specific expertise in my industry?
IntVentures adopts a process-driven and data-driven approach to deal sourcing, consistently delivering excellent results across various industries. Our extensive experience spans diverse verticals, including eCommerce apps, gaming, publishing, Fintech, EdTech, Digital Health, IoT, staffing, and more — a list that continues to expand.
Do you work for buyers and sellers?
IntVentures works exclusively on the buy-side and focuses on deal sourcing for strategic buyers. We help our clients find exceptional companies to buy that they can add value to.
How are you different from bankers?
At IntVentures, our exclusive focus is on providing M&A deal sourcing support. We strive to maintain a steady flow of high-quality opportunities, allowing our buyers to concentrate on their strengths—relationship building and deal closures.
By conducting outreach on behalf of your team using your persona, we ensure that you establish and retain control of the seller relationship from the outset, managing your deal pipeline seamlessly. Our fixed fee structure also ensures substantial savings compared to the costs associated with engaging a banker.
How can you support our in-house team?
In-house teams often find themselves juggling numerous tasks related to deal analysis and closure, leaving little bandwidth for proactive acquisition sourcing. IntVentures serves as an ideal partner to enhance your competitive edge and optimize strategic purchases.
Our exhaustive search approach brings valuable deals to the top of your funnel, expanding your in-house team's options. Moreover, we facilitate direct connections with sellers, helping you save significantly on banker and intermediary fees.
