Public Company Scanner
Scan the public markets for private opportunities
Public company data isn't the target — it's the signal. Divestitures, spin-offs, take-privates, and undervalued divisions hiding inside large companies. The deals most lower middle market buyers never see.
Data Sources
Reading the filings so you don't have to
The scanner looks for language that signals a company is shedding assets, restructuring, or has a division that doesn't fit the core strategy anymore.

Use Cases
Three ways public data drives private deals
These are the deals buried in public filings that most lower middle market buyers never see.
Divestiture Signals
A public company mentions “strategic alternatives” or “non-core asset review” in a filing — that’s a selling signal. The scanner flags it before the market catches on.
Take-Private Candidates
Public companies trading below intrinsic value where a PE firm could acquire and operate more efficiently without public market overhead. The scanner identifies the gap.
Valuation Benchmarking
Use public company financials as comps for pricing private deals — revenue multiples, EBITDA margins, growth rates from companies in the same sector.
