What do you like best about Inven?

I use Inven every day, searching for targets, pulling data and running comparisons. Inven has been great tool and every update has proven to make it that much better and easier to use. The most recent data update has made the searches that much more accurate, clearing out companies that are out of your scope and cutting search time in half. Their customer support is also unmatched - I have gotten same day responses on every one of my inquires and they are always friendly. They use user feedback to improve the platform so having support that welcomes any and all feedback is a wonderful thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

The only thing I don't like about Inven is that AI screener still needs a little fine tuning. Other than that, it just keeps getting better and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inven solving and how is that benefiting you?

Inven helps me find and compare targets for M&A. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inven?

If you need to generate middle market deals, you know that origination is a challenge. For years platforms like Pitchbook.com and others have priced their engines at ~$20k/year of a min of 3-5 seats. All i needed was a deep database of companies and no additional M&A-cycle-management features.

Inven is perfect in that it has suprisngly fantastic depth, a very nice AI tool to refine your searches and the right price point. Easy to use, customer support was always there when I needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inven?

Nothing. So far it has surpassed my expectations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inven solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ease of deal origination and deep database of companies. Also, I'm based in the US and non-US target descriptions are translated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
