LONDON – Wednesday 5 August, 2026
Deal Engine, the market intelligence warehouse for private markets, and Fintent, the predictive intent signals provider, today announced a partnership connecting founder and banker intent data with automated deal sourcing and market monitoring for private equity firms and investment banks.
The partnership feeds Fintent's predictive signals directly into Deal Engine's intelligence warehouse, adding a layer of deal actionability across a database of 500K to 1M companies. Deal teams often lack visibility into whether a target is likely to be receptive to an approach. Fintent's signals close that gap, helping clients focus on better-timed, more targeted outreach.
"We're always looking for data providers that give clients a real edge in sourcing and deal monitoring," said Phil Westcott, CEO of Deal Engine. "Fintent brings clear signals on founder and banker intent, and this partnership lets us build that directly into how clients source and prioritize deals."
"Fintent is excited to partner with Deal Engine to bring our predictive signals directly into clients' market-facing workflows," said Alex Lukashov, CEO and founder of Fintent. "Pairing signals like ours with a firm's own data gives client-facing teams a clear edge in sourcing and dealflow."
Fintent signals will soon be available as an option for all Deal Engine clients to adopt. The partnership helps firms:
- Identify targets showing early M&A or capital raise intent before it's widely known
- Prioritize targeting and outreach based on actionability signals
- Approach targets at the right time, with the right message, using Fintent's signals alongside Deal Engine's other market and internal data
