Frequently Asked Questions

What is StrategyBridgeAI and how does it support M&A advisory teams?

StrategyBridgeAI is a company and market intelligence platform that M&A advisors use from first screening to final mandate materials. It brings company, market and transaction data (around 50 million companies in more than 100 countries) together with target/buyer search, benchmarking and reporting in one workflow.

How does StrategyBridgeAI help build buy-side longlists?

Target search uses chat-based, logic-driven filters rather than fixed industry codes to build target lists, designed to also surface SMEs and niche providers that classic databases miss. Advisors can enrich an existing longlist or start a new search directly through the platform.

Can StrategyBridgeAI also identify buyers for sell-side mandates?

Yes. The same target-search logic is used to identify strategic and financial buyers, including contact data, to support sell-side buyer identification and outreach preparation. For strategic buyers specifically, this also surfaces adjacent business models — vertically or horizontally along the value chain — including out-of-the-box candidates that a search limited to obvious, same-industry buyers would miss.

How does StrategyBridgeAI support valuation and multiple benchmarking?

The platform provides benchmarks, multiples and historical development data on a consistent basis, built on systematic peer selection and rule-based (deterministic) calculation of financial KPIs and multiples rather than manual, ad hoc peer picks — giving advisors a repeatable, traceable methodology to strengthen valuation plausibility and deal arguments.

How much faster can a longlist be built with StrategyBridgeAI compared to manual research?

According to Nikolai Üstündag (WTS Advisory): "For longlists, we used to spend two or three weeks. Now we get it done in two to three afternoons." (translated from German) Results vary by mandate and data availability.

What do M&A advisory firms say about working with StrategyBridgeAI?

Hendrik Rathje, Partner M&A at Möhrle Happ Luther, describes the value as "speed and consistent quality — we don't want to be without it anymore. The quality of our work has increased as a result." He expects the tool to become a market standard. (translated from German) Dr. Dirk Pramann of Mition GmbH says longlisting is the platform's biggest value-add: "we now work systematically instead of subjectively — and significantly faster." (translated from German)

How current and reliable is the underlying data for pitch and mandate preparation?

The database covers roughly 50 million companies across more than 100 countries with financials, transaction data, ownership structures and contact data, and StrategyBridgeAI is recommended by the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (IDW) for audit-grade quality.

Does StrategyBridgeAI cover ownership data for buyer/target screening?

Yes. Company profiles include ownership and shareholder information alongside financials, corporate structures and contact data, so it can be used directly in buyer and target screening.

How do I get a demo of StrategyBridgeAI for my advisory firm?

You can request a live demo to see target and buyer search, benchmarking and mandate-material preparation applied to a current or recent transaction. Pricing is configured individually and discussed during the demo.
