Market intelligence for search funds
Akolo brings market mapping, target sourcing, deal screening and transaction knowledge into one workspace — for searchers who want a systematic process and an earlier view of deal quality.
01 · Understand the market
Search funds need more than company lists. They need to know which sub-markets are attractive, which businesses fit the thesis and where genuine succession or acquisition opportunities are emerging.
Akolo structures company, market and ownership data around your search thesis. Industries, regions, size bands and relevant signals become visible in one shared market map.
Broad research becomes focused sourcing. The team sees where deeper work is warranted, prioritises targets consistently and operates from the same evidence base.
Not another lead export: market structure, target fit and sources stay connected.
02 · The problem
I
Registers, industry sources, websites, spreadsheets and call notes live in separate places. Analysts copy data instead of evaluating markets and opportunities.
II
Without a shared model, prioritisation depends on individual judgment and spreadsheets. Thesis fit, company quality and timing are difficult to compare.
III
Why a target was advanced, deferred or rejected stays in inboxes and people's heads. The next market analysis starts almost from scratch.
03 · The product
Akolo connects external market information with your search thesis, pipeline and deal work. The result is one continuous process instead of a patchwork of databases, CRM, spreadsheets and data rooms.
Structure relevant sub-markets and companies against your criteria. Sources, ownership context and market signals stay attached to each target.
Prioritise targets by thesis fit, company profile and timing. Research, relationships and next steps move through one shared pipeline.
New information updates the deal view. Opportunities, risks, assumptions and open questions are assessed with their sources, from first screen through due diligence.
Investment logic, approvals and lessons remain traceable. The team knows why a deal advanced or stopped and carries that knowledge into the next search.
04 · Deal quality
Akolo looks beyond whether a company appears interesting. Market attractiveness, thesis fit, company quality, risk and evidence form one consistent deal view. Every claim remains reviewable; the investment decision stays with the team.
05 · Proprietary market intelligence
Any team can buy public data. The real advantage comes from combining it with your assessments, conversations and deal lessons. Akolo records which segments perform, which signals mattered and how the quality of individual targets changes over time.
Akolo turns search activity into proprietary market intelligence.
06 · Design-partner pilot
In the pilot, we map your actual search process in Akolo. Together, we define the market, target criteria and deal-quality model, then apply the system directly to your active search.
01
We translate your investment thesis, exclusions and priorities into a clear search and assessment model.
02
We structure a relevant market or existing pipeline and configure research, prioritisation and team collaboration.
03
You test Akolo on real targets. Your feedback on data, scoring and workflow goes directly into product development.
The pilot fits if you are a search fund, ETA operator, family office or M&A team actively looking for companies and want to connect market intelligence, sourcing and deal assessment in one durable process.
