About M&A Insights from NKP:

M&A Insights was launched in 2018 to ensure that private market capital is deployed towards the best opportunities in an efficient manner - our mission is to create maximum visibility for private equity funds and advisory firms navigating the unlisted market, across sectors and size tiers - region by region. During the last 6 years M&A Insights has built a market-leading position in the Nordics, and in November 2023 we expanded with coverage of the German-speaking markets, where we have established a strong and fast-growing presence. Our clients include most of the top private equity funds, investment banks, law firms, and consultancies which work in the M&A markets we cover, including many international private equity funds. We are a fast growing Danish-owned and Danish-based scale-up working at the intersection of technology, M&A, and financial research, and we have been profitable and self-funded all the way with our business model 100% based on recurring revenue (subscription payments).

Job description:

M&A Insights meets its clients' need for intelligence by acquiring, structuring, and enriching knowledge from thousands of sources, using a combination of AI-based automation and data processing and primary case research - a high portion of our information set is gathered from non-public (proprietary) sources such as company owners and key M&A and PE stakeholders.
