Sound the
long tail.
The acquisition targets worth finding rarely sit on the first page of a ranked search. Overture sounds the long tail of companies that conventional search and prebuilt directories leave off the map.
Ranked search shows you the surface.
Search engines rank what is already well linked. Directories list what someone already catalogued. Both are built around the companies everyone can already find. The long tail, the small, obscure, hard-to-find firms that often make the most interesting targets, stays invisible by design.
Built to reach beyond what other databases have catalogued.
You describe what you are hunting. Overture expands the search beyond your words on its own, reaching deeper into the long tail, and you steer it as it goes. It is a different motion to looking something up.
Define a niche
Describe the kind of company you are looking for, in your own words.
Overture widens the search
It draws on both live search and a growing index of every company found before. And it expands beyond your terms on its own, reaching companies you would not have thought to search for.
You steer the sounding
Weight what matters, lock terms in, rule others out. The next sounding follows your lead.
Review and shortlist
Surfaced companies land in your workspace. Shortlist what is worth pursuing, exclude what is not, and export the list.
Built to find what is off the map.
Overture is not another tool for re-charting territory you already know. It is built for the companies that no ranked list or directory has surfaced yet, and the map only grows from there.
Ranks and lists the companies that are already easy to find.
Reaches into the long tail, and every sounding deepens a shared index, so coverage compounds the more it is explored.
Made for the people who source the deals.
Overture is built for M&A and deal-sourcing analysts who need targets the rest of the market has not surfaced yet.
A niche reveals your thinking. It stays sealed.
The keywords you enter, the terms you weight, and the companies you shortlist are a live read on your strategy. Overture keeps every niche private by default, sealed at whatever level you need, from the organisation down to the individual analyst.
Sealed by default
Each niche belongs to a single organisation. No other organisation can see its keywords, how it weights them, or what it shortlists.
A team can seal its niches
A team can seal its niches from the rest of the organisation, so a deal in progress stays with the people working it.
An analyst can go private
An individual can hide their niches from the rest of their team and organisation. What you sound is yours alone until you choose to share it.
What is shared is only the discovery itself. Every company a sounding surfaces joins the Overture Index anonymously, with no record of who searched for it or shortlisted it, so coverage compounds for everyone while your keywords, your weighting and your shortlist stay yours.
Priced by the niche, not the seat.
A flat monthly fee for the platform, with a set number of niches included. You are billed for the niches you sound, never for the number of people looking.
One flat fee
A single predictable subscription for the platform, with a bundle of niches included.
One subscription, whole desk
Add as many analysts as you like. Pricing follows niches, not headcount, so no one pays per seat.
Only what you run
A niche is billed once you actually sound it. Extra niches are the same flat rate, with no step-up tiers.
Unused niches roll over
Anything you do not sound in a given term carries into the next, for up to a year, so nothing you have paid for goes to waste.
Exact figures depend on your desk and how many niches you run. Get in touch and we will put together a quote.
