Particularly enjoying the natural language search with keyword association, which I've fount to be more specific than other services. The customer support has been excellent so far. Cons It's quite expensive, but worth the investment for us. Alternatives considered [Grata](https://www.capterra.com/p/193002/Product-Search/)[Sourcescrub](https://www.capterra.com/p/227581/SourceScrub/) Reason for choosing Inven The search function was more efficient and tailored better to my use case. I also liked the descriptions that inven synthesizes. 5% of the time the ai gets them wrong, but I can work with that.

" February 6, 2025 5.0 excellent, the product is helping us expand our reach in an organized and manageable fashion. Pros GREAT customer service. Super knowledgeable and helpful. Every question was answered step by step, thoroughly and with patience. Cons so far it is all good ! No complaints here Switched from [ZoomInfo Operations](https://www.capterra.com/p/253448/ZoomInfo-Operations/) Zoom info was too cumbersome and did not provide enough correct contact info Review Source DT Daryl T. Managing Director Investment Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful, improvements still needed" May 13, 2023 4.0 This has been an excellent addition and so far outperforms other tools. It needs to better facilitate refining a search to get a higher hit rate than 50-60%, otherwise there's too much manual work in cleansing the list before use. Pros The use of unstructured search terms, example companies, and \*negative\* search terms helps make this tool much better than using pre-assigned industry categories or NAICS codes Cons I may need additional user training, but I still have trouble getting a list with <40% unqualified companies mixed in with my intended targets.

Pros 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 The AI-driven approach cut through noisy and outdated classifications and gave me fast access to relevant companies with clear insights on ownership, revenue, and contact info.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. Cons Sometimes the AI surfaces companies or details that aren’t a perfect fit, so a bit of manual filtering and review is still needed. But that feels like a tradeoff for the speed and scale you get, and the team seems to be improving quickly. Review Source ES Emmanuel S. Principal Investment Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great investment" February 27, 2025 5.0 Customer support has been superb from the start, and I genuinely feel like this has been a worthwhile investment. Big thank you to \[sensitive content hidden\]. Pros It's an extremely useful tool for searching for a broad range of companies. Cons The software can sometimes be a little sporadic in terms of the search results, but it hasn't been a problem for all intents and purposes. Review Source AG Anshul G. Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Inven is must for M&A advisory firms" October 14, 2024 4.0 Pros I've had a great experience with Inven. Its easy-to-use interface and comprehensive features make it an ideal platform for investment banking firms. I've tried many platforms, and I can say Inven surpasses them all. The deal and search features stand out. The keyword search functionality saves me so much time. Cons The platform is strong as is, integrating accurate revenue data would take it to next level, making it the best in its class. Review Source RP Richard P. Senior Partner Investment Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best all around tool I have used in years" July 26, 2024 5.0 I am a big fan -- defintely is a force multiplier for me Pros Searching and screening is outstanding. I do like the way it downloads data and saves companies to lists Cons Dowloading specific contacts is unwieldy Review Source JQ James Q. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good business database with filter features" August 8, 2024 5.0 Overall a good database of businesses and fairly easy to use. Great support Pros Ability to refine searches and edit by criteria Cons Certain industries are difficult to find (such as e-commerce) although the same with most data bases Review Source MR Marius R. Managing partner Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Overall ok, could use improvement" July 24, 2024 4.0 Pros Intuitive layout, overall UX, no major bugs. Cons Limited number of suitable leads, financial information not accurate Review Source VR Verified Reviewer SVP of Mergers and Acquisitions Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Data Depth, many 'dials' to refine a search, AI tool and fair price point" December 6, 2023 5.0 Pros The data depth, tools to get to a targeted list and the pricing Cons I wish it would integrate with SalesForce Review Source KS Katherine S. Office Manager Investment Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Useful Platform" May 20, 2024 5.0 Overall, I am always happy to login to Inven every day. I can tailor my searches to find exactly what I need and any questions I may have or issues that may arise are quickly answered and resolved. Pros I'd have to start with customer service being one of the things I like most about Inven. I have gotten same-day responses for all of my inquires, they're always friendly and always willing to receive feedback and put it towards making the platform better for all users. Secondly - It's extremely user friendly and the latest update has tightened up search results even more, saving me even more time when combing through results. Cons Personally, I have nothing bad to say about the platform. I have only been using it for a couple months and have had only good experiences. Review Source CR Christian R. Vice President Investment Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Efficient & Effective" May 11, 2023 5.0 Extremely positive, the tool has saved us time and money allowing us to do more with less. Pros Straightforward, and works the way you expect a solution like this to work. Their similar company search is a fantastic tool, particularly in esoteric searches, that may not have the best presence on major data sources. Cons Project management needs to be done outside the platform. They have pretty good collaboration tools, but not quite what we need. Reason for choosing Inven More reasonable price, more flexible data exports. Review Source Response from Inven May 12, 2023 Hi! Thank you so much for your review and feedback. We're happy to hear our solution has helped you save time and money! TT Timo T. Managing Partner Investment Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent for sourcing M&A targets" April 6, 2024 5.0 Pros The AI feature is fantastic and the data is very much on point nowadays. Cons The data has improved over time a lot and it is up to the standards of any competitor now. Would not change it to anything. Review Source ES Ethan S. Analyst Investment Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for Small Investment Banks" December 15, 2023 4.0 Pros It's easy to use and helps find niche companies that databases like PitchBook fail to find. Additionally, the intent to sell feature makes it simple to find prospective clients and the investor search makes it easy to find investors / buyers for clients. Cons The product is still in development so not all features are fully rolled out and there are some minor bugs. Review Source MM Moritz M. Senior Consultant Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool to get an initial view on the target universe" February 27, 2024 4.0 Pros It saves a lot of time with target research - good tool to start with Cons 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 Source AS Alex S. Managing director Investment Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great customer support- very easy to use" April 30, 2024 4.0 Great overall tool for market research and lead gen. Easy to use for exploring specific companies in different regions. Has errors with financial data, but great tool overall. Pros \- Great support - Easy to set up - Great search function Cons \- Data not always accurate, revenue is not reliable.
