At the recent M&A Summit in Munich i was asked to present my view on automation for target search, so i created a series of blogs. This is the second part covering three tools. It´s about which tools automate which parts of target search. The three tools are Palturai, Valu8 and MADiscover.

Let´s talk about Palturai. Palturai is a company that offers a fascinating knowledge graph of European companies and people called the Business Graph. The knowledge graph makes all connections between companies, institutions and decision makers transparent.

Unique selling point

Palturai provides a knowledge graph over people and company data that allow the user to navigate the landscape of companies, investors and people. It helps answering questions like “who knows whom” or “are there indications of fraud in a company or its ecosystem?”. Palturai also offers a precise prediction of private company revenue.

Use of technology in the tool

Palturai is offered as a tool and as a service. Knowledge graphs are used.  Automatic language processing (NLP) is used. Advanced Analytics are used.

The tool can be used for the following tasks
