What Our Clients Say
Keensight portfolio company
"Working with Merger Circle made our search markedly more efficient. Their upfront research and qualification meant we spent time only on genuinely relevant companies, and the quality of the introductions and the discussions that followed impressed me. They also gave us a well-founded read of our market in several regions, and approaching owners in their own language clearly helped open doors. I would highly recommend them."
FAQ's
Answers to frequently asked questions
Merger Circle is a buy-side M&A origination firm. We help investors and acquirers find and reach off-market acquisition opportunities, combining M&A expertise, data science, and direct outreach to owners in their own language.
We combine specialized buy-side M&A expertise with data science and proprietary technology to originate off-market opportunities and qualify them thoroughly. Our real edge is access: we reach owners directly, in their own language, so clients have relevant conversations on the right terms. Every engagement is run as a transparent process, with real-time visibility into progress through our proprietary tool, and tailored to the client.
For target research projects, we deliver a comprehensive study within one month, regardless of the number of geographies or the market’s complexity. Outreach projects are typically completed within 2 to 3 months. Monitoring services are provided as a 12-month engagement period, renewable on demand. All project timelines can be adapted into shorter formats depending on your needs.
Our clients are private equity funds directly, their portfolio companies, corporates, entrepreneurs and family offices. Our team is experienced in cross-border transactions and supports clients globally.
It means a specific client has asked us to explore a possible acquisition or partnership, and your company fits what they are looking for. Our outreach is confidential and never a mass mailing. There is no obligation, and we are glad to answer any question before you decide whether to have a conversation.
