Cortix
M&A Targeting.

Find and research buyers and targets. Landscape scanning, fit analysis, and deep-dive profiles — on demand.

What takes a deal team weeks of screening, Cortix does in hours.

What it is.

Cortix M&A Targeting is a tool for PE firms, corp dev teams, and investment banks who need to identify and evaluate potential acquisition targets or buyers.

Upload your criteria, strategic priorities, or portfolio context. Add web research. The engine scans the landscape, evaluates fit, and produces deep-dive profiles on the best matches.

How it works.

02
Query
Build a detailed search — specify the deal thesis, what you're looking for, and what dimensions matter most.
03
Analysis
The engine scans broadly, filters intelligently, and runs adversarial analysis on each candidate — surfacing fit, risks, and strategic alignment.
04
Output
A structured targeting report with ranked candidates, deep-dive profiles, and evidence-based recommendations on fit.
