About Tool

Dealwise AI is designed for startups with modest revenues (often $1M–$10M) that want to explore acquisition or exit options without engaging full-scale investment banks. It provides advisory support, automates many of the back-office tasks, helps prepare materials (pitch decks, data rooms), and confidentially connects startups with strategic and financial buyers. The goal is to reduce friction, speed up the acquisition process, and give founders more control, all without locking into long exclusivity contracts.

Key Features

• AI-assisted preparation of acquisition-ready materials (decks, data rooms, documentation)
• Confidential buyer matching (strategic and financial acquirers)
• Exit process advisory and guidance, including deal management
• Automation of administrative tasks involved in M&A to reduce overhead
• Faster timelines: helps users get acquisition offers in significantly less time than traditional processes

Pros:

• Makes exit/acquisition options accessible to smaller startups who can’t normally afford big investment banks
• Speeds up transaction timelines significantly
• Reduces the administrative burden and complexity of preparing for a sale
• Offers confidentiality and non-exclusive arrangements, giving flexibility to founders

Cons:

• Not a full substitute for expert legal, financial or M&A advice in complex deals
• Some features or buyer matching may be limited depending on startup size, revenue, or industry
• Costs and fees for completed deals might be significant; important to understand terms and commissions

Who is Using?

• Startup founders exploring acquisition or exit opportunities
• Early to mid-stage companies looking for liquidity or strategic buyers
• Founders who want more control over their exit process without dealing with large investment bank overhead
• Entrepreneurs preparing for acquisition and needing support in documentation and process

Pricing

• Typically works on success (“closing”) based model: fees or commission only when a deal completes
• Might have upfront fees or minimum payments for advisory or material preparation services
• No long exclusivity required; flexibility is one of its selling points
