LONDON, UK, 18 June 2026: Deal Engine, the dealmaking data engine for private markets, today announced that an insurance broker portfolio company at a leading private equity firm has begun onboarding the platform as part of their Go-To-Market data and technology platform to empower their client facing commercial teams with the power of cutting-edge AI.

The company, with impressive traction in the UK insurance broking sector, has aggressive growth targets and has recently hired a fresh wave of sales talent. They are now using Deal Engine to accumulate their proprietary market intel along with leading market data, providing a layer of AI workflow to empower every seller and account executive with the insight to grow and build their book of business.

The company’s primary objective is to provide every member of the client facing team with dedicated AI agents, ensuring they prioritize the strongest targets for their proposition, and then empower the team with live market events to progress every deal in pipeline. Account managers have access to powerful relationship intelligence providing stronger accounts and upsell opportunities. Leadership benefit from a step change in visibility on how deals are progressing through the pipeline.

Deal Engine will enable the firm’s sales and account team to:

• Continuously surface the best fit target across the entire market

• Provide crafted outreach and pre-meeting briefs for all sales resources, effectively reducing their market research by 98%

• Integrate all their internal and external market intelligence into a single, unified proprietary data asset

• Eliminate the need for any internal sales engineering resources, dramatically reducing cost risk and time-to-value

By consolidating their own internal documents with their CRM intel and external market information into one connected intelligence warehouse, Deal Engine provides the company with the foundation for their future AI roadmap, learning, evolving and improving as these capabilities mature.

Onboarding has begun and will be delivered in phases, starting with platform launch and CRM integration, followed by thesis-specific configuration to their right-to-win and ongoing optimization.

"To compete in the market, all portfolio companies need to bring their sales function engineering approach up to the modern best practice that supporting AI tech now enables” said Phil Westcott, CEO at Deal Engine. “For firms without the internal capacity or inclination to build this out, Deal Engine is proud to provide companies like this with best-in-class architecture in a 4 week deployment"

This is second Portco that has adopted Deal Engine as the architecture for their sales engineering stack, an increasing trend for CROs looking to empower their sellers with the full power of Claude & ChatGPT, while gaining the firmwide benefit, security and visibility.

Phil Westcott continues “it's clear that every Portco firm with an enterprise sales team needs a sales engineering stack to industrialise their use of AI and meet their growth expectations of their investors. The decision is then do you build or buy. For portcos looking for a trusted, proven engineered market data backbone to fuel their AI, Deal Engine is increasingly being seen as the partner of choice”
