Powerful filters and enrichment features streamline deal sourcing

Hi there,

Thanks a lot for the detailed review — really appreciate it. Great to hear the prompts, filters, and enrichment tools are helping streamline your sourcing, and glad the valuation multiples are a plus for you!

You mentioned wanting broader market context — have you seen our new Analytics feature for saved list companies? It’s built to surface exactly those kinds of overviews and insights.

Also, good news: filters can now be shared with your team, making collaboration easier.

Happy to walk you through these features in a quick call. You can reach out to your Customer Success contact or drop us a line at info@inven.ai.

Thanks again for using Inven!

"Great Product for Search Funds"
5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

I’ve been using Inven to find a great small business to acquire and have been impressed. It’s clearly built for private equity and search fund users, with smart tools, a clean interface, and strong company data. The team has been responsive, open to feedback, and is innovating quickly. They were also fairly priced, especially compared to a competitor I tried first where the experience fell short. The AI-driven approach cut through noisy and outdated classifications and gave me fast access to relevant companies with clear insights on ownership, revenue, and contact info. I look forward to being a long time user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

Sometimes the AI surfaces companies that aren’t a perfect fit, so a bit of manual filtering and work is still needed. But that feels like a tradeoff for the speed and scale you get, and the team seems to be improving this quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there,

Thanks for the detailed review — really appreciate it. Great to hear Inven’s been a strong fit for your search and that the tools, data, and support have all delivered value.

You're right — sometimes a bit of manual work is still part of the process, even with AI. But we’re actively working on improving relevance and precision, and I’m excited for you to see what’s coming next.

Thanks again for being part of the journey.

"No better tool for identifying niche companies"
5/5
What do you like best about Inven?

Inven allows you to identify nice companies in geographical locations. Especially useful for Deal Origination, where the normal M&A databases only show short summaries or use SIC codes in the UK which aren't effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

The lack of integration with Companies House in the UK. However, I gather this is being implemented in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ebba Stelander of Inven
Edit edit

Thanks so much for sharing this review! We love hearing that Inven is helping you spot those “hidden gem” companies—sometimes finding the right target can feel like a treasure hunt, and we’re happy to be your map.

We’re thrilled that Inven is making deal origination easier and helping you reach the companies that don’t show up in the usual databases. Thanks for being part of the journey and for keeping us motivated to keep improving!
