We automate the search.You do the deal.
Ecktivate is the dealflow platform for search funds, self funded searchers and M&A buyers. Registry data becomes a ranked target list, agents find the owner and draft the approach, and your team approves what goes out. We build the platform and set it up on your thesis.
1.86 million companies in the source registry
Your pipeline live within four weeks
Approval on every message before it goes out
One platform, set up for your search
The engine does the searching and the preparing. Your team decides who gets approached and has the conversations that follow.
The platform
Your dealflow engine
Registry data, enrichment, owner records, outreach and your deal pipeline in one environment. The platform searches continuously, ranks every company against your acquisition criteria and shows the reasoning behind each proposal.
- One environment for targets, owners and conversations
- Agents propose, your people approve
- Sequences from your own domain, in your own name
Onboarding
We set it up on your thesis
You do not start with an empty tool. We translate your acquisition criteria into filters, build your target universe, configure the sequences and pipeline stages and train your team. Within four weeks your first outreach is running.
- Criteria translated into working filters
- Target universe and first shortlist ready on day one
- Your team trained on the platform
Thesis and criteria sprint
Know how many targets actually exist
Before you spend a year searching, it pays to know how deep the field is. We turn your acquisition criteria into filters and map the market against them: how many companies match, where they sit, and which segments carry enough volume to build a pipeline on.
- Acquisition criteria made concrete and filterable
- The target universe counted per segment and region
- A first shortlist to start on
How it works
One system, three roles. The same split whether you search alone or with a team.
Software
Searches and enriches registry data continuously, so every company that matches your criteria surfaces, including the ones no broker has listed.
Agents
Weigh each company against your thesis, find the owner and draft the approach. Always as a proposal.
Your team
Approves and has the conversation. Owner conversations stay human work.
Nothing goes out without human approval.
Who runs on Ecktivate
Different mandates, the same bottleneck: reaching the owner before anyone else does.
Search funds
A two year mandate, a committed investor base and a clock that runs whether or not you sourced this week. Sourcing is the part that has to keep going.
Self funded searchers
Buying on your own account, without an analyst next to you. The platform does the list building, the enrichment and the follow up so your time goes to owners.
M&A advisors and buy and build
Advisors and private equity teams sourcing add ons for a platform company, one segment and one region at a time.
Why Ecktivate
Human at the wheel
Agents prepare, your team decides. Every message to an owner is approved before it goes out.
Your name, your relationships
Outreach runs from your own environment and your own domain. Owners meet you, not an intermediary.
Off market by design
The engine starts from registry data, not from brokered listings. Most companies it surfaces are not for sale yet.
Your whole search in one place
Targets, owners, messages and conversations live in one pipeline instead of five spreadsheets and a mailbox.
