CorpDev.Ai vs Grata

Find the companies behind your next growth move—and build the case for acquiring them. CorpDev.Ai connects semantic sourcing and company intelligence with an analyst, financial work, diligence evidence, and investment materials in one corporate development workspace.

BUILT FOR THE WORK OF M&A

Research. Analyze.
Move the deal forward.

Go from a company universe to an acquisition agenda

A strategic search starts with what the business must do. Use natural-language company discovery to explore specialist capabilities, adjacent markets, and emerging business models. Build profiles covering products, customers, ownership, operating context, and competitive positioning, then ask the questions that distinguish an attractive business from the right acquisition for your company.

Use custom research columns to compare candidates on those questions. Develop the market map, explain the strategic fit, and bring priority companies into your pipeline. The result is more than a list of names: it is a researched agenda with reasons to engage and specific issues to investigate next.

Keep working when the opportunity gets serious

Open the company research alongside recorded engagement and new developments. Prepare the next conversation from the context your team already has. When a target shares materials, bring them into AI Room and investigate how the evidence supports the acquisition thesis, operating assumptions, and valuation.

Put the analyst to work on the financial case, a build-buy comparison, or the investment memorandum. Develop charts and presentation slides that explain the opportunity to leadership. Grata also supports company discovery, relationships, and Excel workflows. CorpDev.Ai connects those early acquisition questions to a broader analytical environment for diligence, decision materials, and integration planning.
