Problem

The M&A team spent significant time manually building buyer, transaction, and target lists in their sell- and buy-side M&A work.

Solution

Grasp’s AI Analyst automated the creation of transaction and company long- and short-lists, as well as the generation of PowerPoint one-pagers.

Case

The global investment bank - engaged in sell- and buy-side mandates as well as pitch work - struggled with time-consuming manual research of buyers, precedent transactions, and targets. The work was conducted by junior employees that didn’t have sufficient time to execute flawlessly on their tasks. This led to missed opportunities, such as overlooking non-obvious strategic buyers, key precedent transactions, and highly relevant M&A targets.

The investment bank rolled out Grasp's AI Analyst, which immediately replaced their manual workflows in long- and short list building, as well as their PowerPoint one-pager generation. Grasp's AI Analyst collects data from reported and non-reported sources, and automatically structures the output in spreadsheets and PowerPoints, reflecting how human teams typically work.

The result? More than 20 weeks of time saved per employee and year, and increased output quality following the huge increase in analysed data.
