The Challenge

Private equity and M&A professionals spend enormous amounts of time on repetitive analysis, data gathering, and documentation. What if we could automate the tedious parts and focus on deal strategy?

The Stack

  • Base44: Rapid application development platform
  • n8n: Workflow automation and integrations
  • AI Layer: Document analysis and data enrichment

The 10 Apps

1. Deal Flow Tracker

Central hub for all opportunities with automatic enrichment from public sources.

2. CIM Analyzer

Upload a Confidential Information Memorandum, get structured data and preliminary analysis.

3. Comparable Company Finder

Input target criteria, receive list of comparable transactions with multiples.

4. Due Diligence Checklist Generator

Industry-specific checklists auto-populated based on deal type.

5. Financial Model Template Builder

Standard models with automatic data population from uploaded financials.

6. Management Team Profiler

LinkedIn and public data aggregation for target company leadership.

7. Market Size Calculator

Industry reports and data sources combined for TAM/SAM/SOM analysis.

8. Integration Playbook Generator

Post-merger integration templates based on deal characteristics.

9. Investor Update Automator

Portfolio company updates aggregated and formatted for LP reporting.

10. Exit Analysis Dashboard

Comparable exits and timing recommendations based on market conditions.

The Build Process

Week 1: Core data models and authentication Week 2: First five apps with basic functionality Week 3: Second five apps and n8n integrations Week 4: Polish, testing, and documentation

Key Learnings

  • Start with data models: Get the foundation right
  • Build for iteration: First version is never final
  • Automate data entry: Manual input kills adoption
  • Design for mobile: Deal work happens everywhere
  • The ROI

    For a typical mid-market deal:

    • 20 hours saved in initial analysis
    • 10 hours saved in due diligence prep
    • 5 hours saved in reporting

    At analyst billing rates, that's significant value per deal.
