Know which accounts to go after right now.
Tentt monitors your target universe for deal-relevant signals — succession indicators, debt triggers, leadership changes, competitive disruptions — and delivers scored, contextualised intelligence directly to your CRM, Slack, and email. Built for PE firms, investment banks, commercial lenders, search funds, and M&A advisors.
The problem
You're missing signals that move deals.
Succession events, leadership changes, debt maturities, competitive disruptions — these triggers happen every day. Most deal teams find out weeks or months later, if at all. By then, the best opportunities are already in someone else's pipeline.
How it works
Signal intelligence, delivered to your workflow.
Tentt defines, monitors, and delivers the signals that matter to your thesis. No new tool to learn. No dashboard to check. The intelligence comes to you.
Step 01
We map your thesis to specific triggers
In a structured scoping session, we translate your investment criteria into concrete, monitorable signals. Succession indicators, debt maturities, leadership changes, competitive disruptions — whatever moves the needle for your specific mandate.
- Signal definitions matched to your thesis criteria and sector focus
- Account universe defined — your CRM, target lists, or full sector TAM
- Confidence thresholds set so your team only sees high-conviction triggers
- Delivery preferences configured — CRM, Slack, email, or all three
Signal use cases
The right signal for every deal thesis.
Different firms look for different triggers. Here's how deal teams across the ecosystem use Trigger Intelligence.
PE firms
Succession, debt maturity, add-on fit, management changes
Surface platform and add-on targets showing transaction timing signals. Prioritise accounts where the owner, the balance sheet, or the competitive landscape is creating urgency.
M&A advisors
Growth inflection, competitive pressure, founder fatigue
Identify business owners approaching a decision point. Time your sell-side pitch to the moment when the owner is most receptive — not 6 months too late.
Investment banks
Capital events, strategic reviews, sector consolidation
Track sector-level consolidation waves and company-level capital events that signal advisory mandates. Know when a potential client is entering a process — or should be.
Commercial lenders
Loan maturity, expansion intent, refinancing triggers
Monitor your borrower portfolio and prospect list for refinancing triggers, expansion signals, and credit events. Reach out before the borrower starts shopping.
Search funds
Owner retirement, generational transition, growth plateau
Narrow a broad search to the businesses most likely to transact. Signal-driven targeting finds owner-operators who are approaching a transition — not just companies that match your criteria on paper.
Family offices
Distressed assets, off-market opportunities, co-invest signals
Monitor for situations other buyers miss — distressed sellers, generational transitions, and niche opportunities that surface through non-traditional signals before they reach the market.

Why signals work
Timing beats volume. Every time.
Generic outreach gets 1–2% reply rates. Signal-timed outreach — reaching the right person at the moment a trigger creates urgency — consistently outperforms by 3–5x. The difference isn't the message. It's the timing.
