Real choice comes from the off-market
When your pipeline depends on recycled lists, you overpay, miss fit, and start again. Allen prioritises off-market opportunities aligned to your mandate so choice is on your side — breadth to compare, depth to qualify, and clarity to move fast.
Avoid overpaying by widening the off-market funnel.
Compare large and small targets against your exact thesis.
Run like-for-like comparisons with consistent, cited data.
Keep momentum — no “back to square one” when a lead stalls.
Designed for proprietary deal flow
AI deal sourcing, private equity research and diligence automation come together with Companies House data, decision-maker intelligence and CRM integration.
Thesis-aware search
Your mandate sets the guardrails. Allen interprets complex investment theses, then segments, filters and ranks companies accordingly — far beyond keyword matching.
Evidence-linked diligence
Every recommendation is backed by sources and notes you can export to slides or CSV and push to your CRM. Nothing is a black box.
Agentic automation (not “just a database”)
Allen connects the ecosystem of CRMs, deal signals, filings and data rooms, automating the repetitive analyst work on top of your existing stack.
Decision-maker intelligence
Surface key people at each target and enrich outreach lists. Hand over to your team — or engage our optional consulting service for contact and campaign support.
Security & compliance
Built for enterprise with GDPR-aligned processing and audit-ready outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use Allen?
Interact through a simple chat panel inside your dashboard. Type "Help" to see all commands. For best organisation, start a new chat for each sourcing or diligence task and give it a descriptive name – e.g., "UK bolt-ons".
How should I structure my investment thesis?
State your criteria clearly – geography, sector, size, margins, exit horizon. Allen converts this into a search plan. Example thesis (abridged): "Consolidate fragmented niche industrial manufacturers in the DACH and US regions through a buy-and-build strategy."
What's the best way to find deals?
Schedule two or more sourcing cycles; when you're ready, instruct Allen to proceed with the deal sourcing. It will generate an analyst-grade pack including red-flag summary, comparable multiples and growth signals.
How is Allen different from other deal-sourcing tools?
Instead of a static dataset or dashboard, Allen behaves like a virtual analyst – interpreting your thesis, searching 39M multi-source records and returning ready-to-use reports.
Can I define my own report structure?
Yes. Supply a template once and Allen will populate it automatically, or use the default analyst layout.
Can Allen work with my own data?
Upload PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, PPT, HTML, PY, JSON (Excel/CSV support coming soon). Allen blends this with its live data sources for richer insight.
