Diligence deeper. Decide faster. Commit with conviction.
What's broken today, and how Enquire solves it.
Taking control of a company with Information Gaps
Private targets have no analyst coverage, no consensus, and often aren't in any structured dataset at all. Speed, depth, or expertise, you can pick two, but on a private name you're usually reconstructing the whole picture by hand, right when the stakes of getting it wrong are highest.
Institutional-grade intelligence on any private company or market.
Enquire's Research Center stands up deep, sourced analysis on companies, themes, and markets with no coverage, pairing proprietary analytical frameworks with an Expert Network of AI-moderated interviews. It's the private-company depth already validated by an onboarded Top-5 global investment bank. Speed, depth, and expertise, on a name no one else can underwrite.
The thesis lives or dies on the moat and the management team.
A buy-out thesis only works if the advantage is durable and the operators can execute for years. Separating a real moat from a good quarter, and a compounder from a fragile operator, takes depth that a data room and a management presentation won't give you.
Underwrite the moat and the management team.
Strategic Moat Analysis scores where advantage is real, durable, or eroding. Management Quality distinguishes compounders from fragile operators and flags behavioral risk early. Competitive Position maps where profits are won or lost and where the attack paths are, so you know what has to hold through the hold.
Diligence runs on a clock.
Inside an exclusivity window, a small deal team reconstructs the market, the competitive set, and the risk landscape from scratch, then has to get to an IC-ready view before the clock runs out and does it again on the next target.
Jumpstart diligence with ready made reports.
An Executive Investment Brief plus the central debates orients the deal team fast: what the company is, what's actually contested, and what must be true for the thesis to work. Expand analytical capacity without adding to the team, and get to conviction before exclusivity runs out.
One blindside can be defining.
A single missed downside, a supply-chain dependency, a regulatory overhang, a demand assumption that doesn't hold, can define a fund.
Stress-test the downside before you commit capital.
Thesis Stress Test, Pre-Mortem, Gray Swan, and Red Team put more scrutiny on what can go wrong than what can go right, surfacing the second-order exposures and reading cross-market signals like credit spreads that move earlier. Deliberate downside analysis gives you warning signs you might otherwise miss.
Sourcing and value creation don't scale across the portfolio.
Proprietary deal flow means finding adjacencies and bolt-ons before competitors do. Post-close, operating partners are asked to drive value across every holding at once. Diligence work dies in a data room, the team is small, and human attention doesn't scale to the surface area.
Sourcing and value creation that compound.
PE Opportunities and Acquisition/Divestiture modules surface bolt-ons and transaction targets in a company's ecosystem. Weekly-cadence monitoring tracks what changed across the hold. It's an independent research team you can assign across the whole portfolio, operating leverage without headcount.
"We weren't looking for another data source. We needed to understand how investor expectations were forming and where the real uncertainties were. Enquire helped us pressure-test our thesis with expert perspective and track how the debate was evolving, which gave us much more confidence going into the decision."
