Built by dealmakers, for dealmakers.
We started transact because we saw the gap between what M&A professionals need and what their tools deliver.
Our Story
transact was founded in Frankfurt with a clear conviction: the M&A industry deserves better intelligence tools. While the rest of the market relied on legacy databases and fragmented workflows, we built an AI-native platform from scratch – designed around the questions dealmakers actually ask, not the data structures of the past.
Our team combines deep financial expertise with advanced technology capabilities. We understand the pressure of deal timelines. We understand the complexity of cross-border transactions. We understand the difference between data and intelligence.
Today, transact supports M&A professionals across Europe – from PE firms sourcing proprietary deals to investment banks preparing competitive pitches to corporates monitoring their strategic landscape. We're driven by the belief that AI should amplify human judgment, not replace it.

What Drives Us
Intelligence, not just data.
We don't deliver raw records. We deliver structured, actionable insights that accelerate decisions. A number without context is just noise.
AI-native, from day one.
We built our platform around AI from day one. It's not a feature we bolted on. The entire architecture assumes AI is doing the work.
European depth, global reach.
We know the DACH market better than anyone. And we're expanding from there, bringing that same depth to additional European markets.
