What is ProxDeal?
ProxDeal is an AI-powered platform for M&A advisors and corporate development teams that builds buyer and target lists from a wide pool of company and transaction data. It runs live searches against millions of company records and signals, then drafts personalized outreach letters and emails for the resulting shortlist. The platform highlights GDPR compliance and German cloud hosting in Frankfurt.
Why ProxDeal works
Traditional M&A research relies on database exports that go stale the moment they are pulled, plus hours of analyst time to score candidates and write outreach. ProxDeal compresses that by querying live web data and known transaction history when the user asks, then producing both the longlist and an outreach draft in the same session. That shifts the analyst from list assembly to relationship work.
ProxDeal features
- AI-driven longlist search. Builds a contextual shortlist from a large company and transaction signal pool in roughly minutes, instead of waiting on a manual research pass.
- Real-time data sourcing. Pulls information live from company websites via AI agents rather than relying only on a static database, so the data does not lag the deal cycle.
- Transparent source attribution. Shows which data sources fed each candidate, which matters for advisors who need to defend their longlist to a client.
- Personalized outreach drafts. Generates email and letter templates aimed at higher response rates, so analysts can send first-touch messages without rewriting each one.
- EU-hosted infrastructure. Runs on Frankfurt-based cloud with GDPR compliance and stated TÜV-certified protocols, useful for European advisors with strict data residency rules.
