We identify off-market acquisition targets for Private Equity and Search Funds before they reach the auction block. Proprietary deal flow. Risk-verified. Monitored 24/7.
We map the market against your specific Buy Box parameters.
Rapid assessment of legal, reputational, and operational risks.
Real-time alerts on distress, fatigue, and stagnation signals.
Most deal flow is noise. Brokers present what is convenient, not what is valuable. Talpike inverts the model. We utilize the same commercial intelligence engine used by Fortune 500 sales teams, but retargeted to identify liquidity signals rather than buying signals.
Before you sign an NDA, you need to know who is across the table. Our dossiers profile the Seller's Psychology. Is the founder tired? Is there a succession vacuum? Are they facing litigation? We answer these questions so you can structure a winning LOI.
Timing is the only variable you cannot control, but you can monitor it. We place your "Dream 100" targets on active radar, alerting you the moment a trigger event occurs.
Your deal team can't watch 200 companies 24/7. Talpike can. We monitor three specific vectors of vulnerability.
Alerts on valuation reduction events: new liens, lawsuits, regulatory fines, or sudden talent bleed.
Alerts on owner psychology: lifestyle changes, succession vacuums, or changes in press language.
Alerts on growth ceilings: hiring freezes, digital traffic plateaus, and operational stalls.
Validate your Buy Box with a one-time injection of verified targets.
Continuous deal flow for active Search Funds and PE firms.
Automated monitoring for your existing target list.
* All pricing in US dollars and subject to onetime onboarding fee
We track specific behavioral signals that correlate with exit readiness, such as estate listings in tax-haven states, departures from local non-profit boards, and shifts in press release language from "growth" to "legacy." These are public but often overlooked signals of a psychological shift.
We maintain strict sector caps. If you retain us for "HVAC in Texas," we do not sell that same dataset to a competing firm. Your dedicated analyst works specifically on your thesis.
No. Talpike is an intelligence provider, not a broker. We charge for the data and the monitoring service. You keep 100% of the upside and equity in any deal you originate through our platform.
Brokers represent "Active" sellers in an auction environment, driving up multiples. We identify "Off-Market" targets—owners who are ready to sell but haven't hired an intermediary yet. This allows for proprietary negotiation and better entry valuations.
We operate on "Real-Time Intelligence Sprints." Unlike stale databases that are updated annually, we verify every target in your batch manually during the 14-day sprint. We confirm ownership status, recent filings, and trigger events within 48 hours of delivery.
Our primary intelligence capabilities cover North America (USA & Canada), the United Kingdom, and Western Europe. We specialize in lower-middle market ($2M-$20M EBITDA) industrial, logistics, and service businesses.
100%. We utilize strictly Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and public record aggregation. We do not engage in pretexting, hacking, or unauthorized access of private servers. All insights are derived from legally available signals.
While results vary by thesis, our average Pilot client moves 3-4 targets (out of 15) into active diligence within 30 days. The "Watchlist" feature often captures another 2-3 targets over a 6-month horizon as fatigue triggers eventually fire.
