Win the mandate
while it's still forming.
We don't just report the news faster. We read the behaviour behind the mandate - how companies hire, grow and restructure over time - a proprietary record built continuously across EMEA. When a company starts behaving like one that led to a mandate, you're in the room before the RFP exists - with the person you already know inside it.
What a partner gets with every signal.
Most tools tell you a deal happened. The question a partner is paid to answer is what to do about it, and when.
What happened, in one line, sourced.
What the buyer must decide, and what to open with.
Where this sits in an observed sequence, with a median.
Dated, tiered, independently corroborated.
Named, ranked by who buys this work.
Hiring, headcount and workforce shifts underneath it.
How this company has behaved through past events.
What similar situations produced, and how fast.
Every claim carries its source and its date. Where we cannot evidence something, the card stays quiet rather than guessing.
By the time a signal is obvious, the window is already closing.
Partners lose 6 to 10 hours a week assembling BD intelligence from disconnected sources, and by the time a signal is obvious, the window is already closing. The first credible Partner through the door sets the agenda, defines the scope, and wins the work. Everyone else pitches second.
Preqin and PitchBook tell you what happened. Bloomberg reports the news. Grata and Cyndx help investors find targets. None of them answer the only question that wins mandates: who do I call next, why now - and who do I already know inside?
"Relationships were never my problem. Timing was. I would hear about a mandate a couple of weeks too late to do much with it. This gets me in before that window shuts."
