alkemy automates company research and qualification so your team can focus on analysis, not data collection. Built for boutique M&A advisory consulting firms.
Every market mapping project follows the same painful pattern: associates spend weeks manually visiting websites, toggling LinkedIn filters, and verifying data across sources. Let's fix that.
Associates visiting 800-1,000 company websites, toggling LinkedIn filters, copy-pasting data into spreadsheets
AlphaSense, ChatGPT, and Gemini return irrelevant companies that require hours of manual verification
Companies with no websites, outdated LinkedIn profiles, or only local directory listings slip through the cracks
Can't take on more PE clients without hiring more juniors - but margins don't support it
“To get on a client call and have them point out one you're missing or thought they were acquired is devastating.”— Patrick C., Managing Partner, Mid-market M&A Advisory
