What do you like best about Inven?

I like how easy the platform is to use in comparison to other platforms we have used in the past. The detail on the platform and the contact details for key decision makers is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

I am happy with all aspects, if there was s light issue it is that there is too much information! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the great review! We're glad to hear you're finding Inven easy to use and that the level of detail—especially around decision makers—is hitting the mark.

Regarding the data - better too much than too little, but we're always working on ways to help you cut through the noise faster.

Appreciate you being with us!

"Great data depth, very handy AI tool and right price point"
5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

If you need to generate middle market deals, you know that origination is a challenge. For years platforms like Pitchbook.com and others have priced their engines at ~$20k/year of a min of 3-5 seats. All i needed was a deep database of companies and no additional M&A-cycle-management features.

Inven is perfect in that it has suprisngly fantastic depth, a very nice AI tool to refine your searches and the right price point. Easy to use, customer support was always there when I needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

Nothing. So far it has surpassed my expectations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Platform for Investment Banks"
4/5
What do you like best about Inven?

Its ability to find companies in niche areas that do not appear on platforms like PitchBook or with a general internet search. We also like the 'Intent to Sell' feature. The customer support is also fantastic. It is very simple to use and our team uses the service daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

The platform is still young so there are sometimes minor bugs and the platform may misidentify target companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inven?

It saves a lot of time with target research - good tool to start with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

The database is still in its infancy and requires more data maintenance - some companies are poorly categorized or not categorized at all (only name without description etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ebba Stelander of Inven
Edit edit

Thanks for the review! We’re happy Inven helps speed up target research and gives you a strong starting point. We appreciate the feedback on categorization—our team is actively adding data and improving classifications every week.

We’d also love to hear about any companies that show only a name without a description. You can always forward those cases to your customer success contact or email them to help@inven.ai so we can correct them.
